I tried to convince a friend such a thing as "White Privilege" existed

41. 11x and 6x are useful if, as we always do, view the privilege continuum as a matrix.

According to this link, in 2010 black women are incarcerated at 3X the rate of white women.

If blacks as a group are incarcerated at 6X the rate of whites, then it's apparent that black men are bearing the lions share of that bias. Indeed, the incarceration of black women has dropped 31% in the last decade.

Being a woman is a strongly protective factor when it comes to the justice system.

The below graphic is interesting, but it has one fatal flaw, it compares the incarceration rate of all adult men to the incarceration rate for a small slice (age 35-39) for women. They chose this demographic because it is the age range in which black women are most likely to be in jail.

White men are far more likely to be in jail than black women, and black men aged 20-34 are about 40X more likely to be in jail than white women aged 35-39.
