Bill O’Reilly, host of “The O’Reilly Factor” on Fox News, used his nightly Talking Points Memo segment to completely shred the idea that blacks are more frequently jailed than whites because of a racist justice system.
He said, Breitbart noted: “According to FBI data from 1976 to 1995, black Americans were identified by police as committing more than half of the homicides in the USA. African-Americans make up 13 percent of the population. In addition, a national crime victims survey reported that blacks committed robberies at a rate of 60 percent. Again, the black community is just 13 percent of the population. So what’s the beef if black Americans are committing crimes out-of-proportion to other ethnic groups, why is there a racial component to their presence in prison? Why?”
