Also, I believe that blacks are more likely to be arrested for certain infractions (e.g., pot possession), but that this is partially a result of a greater police presence in the parts of cities with the highest crime rates. Once a suspect is in front of a judge or jury, I believe the criminal justice system fares better and is mostly color-blind.

Oh, my.
There are studies galore that prove the opposite. Black conviction rates are higher and sentences longer than for whites.

I don't really understand the way in which you see (don't see) the issues here.
