MW's article is based on the myth that black people lie on surveys more than white people, (UGH!), and blacks commit more crimes than whites and in the course of those crimes get charged with drug offenses more often, (UGH!)
How convenient. I noticed that you forget to include one very important fact. What you're calling a myth was in fact backed by statistical data from actual drug testing of those surveyed. Furthermore, considering more blacks are actually arrested for crimes, it stands to reason that many of them could also be charged with possession of a drug during the search process which would explain the number of drug arrests. Personally, I think some of your argument is full of holes and is lacking in actual data and statistical support.

As of 2016 the white population was 61.3%. Blacks were the largest minority group at 12.7% and Hispanics were the largest ethnic minority at 17.8%.
