Did you know more blacks have died as a result of black on black crime in America the last five years than all the blacks lynched during the Civil War era?
You'd never know that based on the way liberals speak.
The black crime epidemic is awful and so yeah, I assume there is a higher risk weighed. It sucks, but what can you?
Did you know that the US is 10 times bigger now then it was back then. Also did you know that the social, cultural, and economic situtations in black area's tend to be
much worse then those in area's of other races. And that racial bias is huge in the criminal justice system.
http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~japhill/sp802.pdf (most of the disproportionate amount of violent crime in the black community can be explained by socioeconomic condition. The big problem the study cites with itself is that it's hard to find white area's with conditions as bad as those many black americans have to live in, not to mention white people being universally isolated from the kinds of racism black people face. And the fact that in rural area's(which are mostly white), you often know everyone you could commit a crime against, whereas in big cities, you don't)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/07/us/wrongful-convictions-race-exoneration.html(note that the kinds of racial bias that would lead to blacks getting wrongfully imprisoned more and exonerated later would probably lead to a lower percent of wrongfully convicted getting exonerated among black people as well)
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/crime/2015/08/racial_disparities_in_the_criminal_justice_system_eight_charts_illustrating.htmlOne thing to note is the fact that while white and black people use drugs at similar rates, black people are way more likely to go to jail for it
http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/07/data-police-racial-biasOn the disparities in search, when you only search white drivers for whom there is reasonable evidence that something might come up(and probably let quite a few who seem suspicious go), but you search many minority drivers for whom there isn't the slightest bit of suspicion, you're going to catch a much higher proportion of minority drivers who have contraband then whites, which is why whites get caught with contraband about 1.5-1.66 times more then minorities instead of at double the rates.
In general, this piece makes it clear that officers are more likely to use force against minorities, more likely to harass minorities, and that in general there is serious subconscious bias against minorities. This bias helps further the alienation and isolation of minority Americans from greater society. Look at the attention given to poverty in Appalachia and dead factory towns compared to that of poor urban majority-black areas and the black belt, despite poverty in the latter being worse and more widespread. Hell, compare how the "inner city" was sneered at and mocked by white america for its crippling poverty in the 80's vs the concern and desire for action in Appalachia and the rural Midwest now. Things like that are evidence of the alienation from society that makes things like gangs appealing(granting a sense of belonging, of brotherhood, of fighting back) for minorities.
