they didn't say that they use drugs in the same numbers but rather in the same rates. that means that although lets say both communities have a lets say 10% drug use, there will be a higher rate of blacks incarcerated for the same crime. the black community and many communities of color have problems in the us, as well as in canada. but i think that it is wrong to write it off as just problems that have nothing to do with race, and to not look at how these problems came about.
