Ok, like I said, show me the data.

That's not any sort of data I can use to assess your claim. "I know some people" isn't an acceptable variable when it comes to claiming a nationwide issue. Like I said, you were cheated by your alleged stats professors.

Could say many different things
I mean I read an article posted on here recently that the biggest hurdle between black males and employment is a drug screen

Well if that is the case, why doesn't it affect whites. I mean if drug use is similar between the two percentage wise there should be a whole lot more unemployable whites when you look at the numbers.

Despite evidence of similar rates of using and selling illegal drugs

Whites were about 45 percent more likely than blacks to sell drugs in 1980, according to an analysis of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth by economist Robert Fairlie. This was consistent with a 1989 survey of youth in Boston. My own analysis of data from the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows that 6.6 percent of white adolescents and young adults (aged 12 to 25) sold drugs, compared to just 5.0 percent of blacks (a 32 percent difference).
If this is what they are basing your claim on,

This partly reflects racial differences in the drug markets in black and white communities. In poor black neighborhoods, drugs tend to be sold outdoors, in the open. In white neighborhoods, by contrast, drug transactions typically happen indoors, often between friends and acquaintances. If you sell drugs outside, you're much more likely to get caught.
Pretty much everyone who has used drugs has sold at some point. If you're selling a few pills out of your living room you're not going to be caught.
Most whites who deal aren't career drug dealers

Clearly those officers are encountering more whites than they are blacks due to the sheer number of whites in this country. So why are blacks arrested more frequently?

Listed above.
And 5% of black folks in a survey claimed to be dealers..

I've told you that they are far more reckless with their possession of drugs, i.e. walking around with a dime or a blunt in their pocket. Combine that with the fact that many impoverished and high crime areas have large minority populations, they'll be far more likely to make contact with police (cops are more prevalent where the crime is taking place).

There are, it's increasing. There's a growing subculture of whites who use and support their habit by criminal activity
Unemployability among natives is probably over 50%

Drug use as a whole is a class thing imo. Lower income areas do more drugs. More blacks are in lower income areas

LAZY.... When debating someone on a subject matter you claim you know something about, retorting with "google it yourself" does not give credence to your credibility, and makes you look foolish. If you have evidence, provide the link. If not, then i'd suggest being quiet until you find your evidence.

You're a fool if you believe this self reported numbers and the reasons were clearly stated in the article and you willingly ignored it.
This information is literally the basis of your negative yet you leave the most important part

Article clearly stated such.
Blacks deal on the street, whites in their home to friends and acquaintances.
There's a huge difference between selling a pill to friends and selling weed on the street to strangers.

You can't be serious.

So it is okay for whites because they deal in the confines of their homes. Got it.

Lots of triggered white guys ITT.

You're pretty stupid if that was your conclusion
I'll simplify it for you. You're odds of being caught are much greater doing street level deals with strangers than selling in the confines of your own home to people you know

Crazy part is I don't see this nearly as much on a micro, day to day level as media/social media portrayals would lead one to believe. My life/relationships with white and black folks have remained pretty much the same over the years.
