Using your drug example, while true whites do sell drugs more often than blacks but get arrested less often, the reason is because in many black neighborhoods there is a culture of selling drugs in the open or even on street corners where it is easy for the cops to catch them; and whites have a culture of selling their drugs in private homes to people they know making it more difficult for the cops to catch them. This is not an example of racism, it’s an example of different cultures resulting in different results.
Blacks Less Likely To Sell Drugs, Much More Likely To Be Arrested For It: Study
Unfortunately studies of the outcomes AFTER ARREST show a similar bias for white offenders. Black offenders will usually have a higher rate of conviction and a harsher sentence than the white offender.
So it doesn't matter if they were slangin' on a street corner or in mommy and daddy's den, once arrested it is still systemically racist against the black offenders.
