If it's imply the total number of arrests for possession between races, the disparity between number arrests could simply be that there are more altercations with blacks who have marijuana than with whites who have marijuana and therefore the number arrested with possession charges are going to be higher for them.
I need context in order to understand if that is a "racist" statistic (in terms of systemic/institutional racism).

which oddly enough would mean Blacks are targeted for more searches/stop and frisk than whites because in regards to marijuana use the percentage is consistent across races.
and there you have your systematic racism you were looking for.
