I'd like to see a control for the amount of money spent on legal defense.

So, then, why would black people spend less money on legal defense?

People spend as much money on legal defense as they can possibly afford, obviously. But that doesn't make the system racist.

So, black people have less money to spend on legal defense, because . . . ? And, do you think that the people in charge of the system don't know that black people have less money to spend on legal defense? Do you think they're unaware of the history of slavery -> convict leasing -> our modern prison system?
