but rather socio-economic class. White people are only relevant to me in that case in that they tend the skew the socio-economic class distribution. That is, black Americans are more likely to of a lower socioeconomic class. What is relevant to me here is the interaction of class and race. Are black people more likely to incarcerated than other people of the same socioeconomic class, for example.

Again, this isn't about white people, but whether the dominant influence factor is race or class. Knowing that helps drive solutions.

Sheesh, can't say anything around here without someone jumping on you like you're some kind of reactionary freeper.
