It isn't the whole story, it's just a lot of it. Look at the sentencing stats for whites who use cut rate lawyers and public defenders versus those who have better lawyers for the same crime.
anecdote time, 2 pot "kingpins" in my home town wen't down in a sting operation with 5 pounds of pot on hand. both 19, both in the same room, both partners, etc etc etc. One got a 6 months "new life" sentence, one for 5 years and is still inside.
Maybe one of them did some snitching?
They say snitches get stitches but they also might lose months and years on jail/prison sentences.
