Wealthy and powerful black people get away with just as much wrong doing as wealthy whites do.
The issue in America is if you’re wealthy and part of the elite, you’re nearly untouchable. But if you’re poor and you have no clout than some of the most ridiculous things can get you incarcerated... like possession of marijuana.
Look at R. Kelly for example. The guy went years upon years preying on teenage girls and even had a harem of underage girls but the dude was at the top of the music game and was untouchable. Poor white guys have been sent to prison for a fraction of what R. Kelly did.
The entire game is about money and power.
