The stat doesn't say that there are six times as many black people in prison (they make up about 40 percent of the prison population) as there are white people in prison (also around 40 percent), but that the black population has six times as much of their population being sent to jail than the white population. Did you even research this or did you just disagree with it off the bat?
Of course, memes aren't always the best way to judge a politician. What's the whole context of what he's talking about? Does he tell you why it's relevant? What are his solutions?
