Higher incarceration rates of one group over another is not clear cut direct evidence of of systemic racism. That is the correlation = causation fallacy. It does matter if it is a repeat offense. The person committing the repeat offense is...repeating the offense. That is their fault.
To say we shouldn't ask the question would be intellectually dishonest, but there is a possibility there isn't nefarious scheming going on behind the scenes to incarcerate black men at higher rates.
I ponder from time to time that if government is allegedly responsible for so much evil against different groups then why is the answer by so many to institute more government?
Why is Trump's immigration ban racist and Obama's aren't? The biggest difference between the two bans was that Trump banned all citizens from the seven countries (their threat and labeling was given or existed through the Obama administration) and Obama banned people that had visited those same seven countries. So if visiting a country on the list is a potential red flag, then we have to admit that there is an element in the country that is perceived as organizing violence against the U.S. and that they can influence others to do the same. It would be reasonable to be cautious about those that live there and are exposed directly to that influence at a much higher rate than the two Iraqi refugees from Bowling Green, KY. I also agreed with Obama's immigration bans.
He may be an insensitive, mouthy person, but he isn't banning people because they are Arab. He is banning people from regions that have the highest rates of terrorist activity while they re-evaluate intelligence and vetting procedures for 90 days. BIG difference.
The Mexican rapist comment is a huge, intellectually dishonest spin just like the "Trump makes fun of disabled guy" BS. He was alluding to the fact that some of the illegal immigrants are committing crimes such as rape, murder etc. once they arrive in the U.S. That point is fact. He didn't say that they are wholly responsible for crime in America. He He also acknowledged good people are coming across the border and he is right on both counts.

Of course they're going to commit more crimes when the laws are made to be disadvantageous to poorer people. You also seen to be mistaking me for someone else: I don't like Obama either and I'm an anarchist, so I am not promoting bigger government. Also, Tump's intention was definitely to spin them as bad people. He says that they're rapists, as a fact, but then says that he assumes that some are good people, hinting at the possibility that he could be mistaken and that maybe there aren't any.
