If 45% are white, it's not effecting people of color disproportionately. People of color are less than 45%. So sick of the far left mentality. If it was illegal at the time of conviction, the conviction should stand.

Nick... perhaps you don't understand how statistics work. Per the Contra Costa County official website (Web Link there are just over 1,000,000 residents of Contra Costa. Of those, approximate 93,000 are black. Easy math here: 9.3% of residents of the county are black. Per the article, 36% of the people affected are black.

By contrast, per the Contra Costa County website, about 497,000 residents of Contra Costa are white. That equates to roughly 49.7% - higher than the 45% of white people discussed in the article.

So, slight (but not too bad) harder math: 45/49.7 = .905 (meaning less than a proportional impact for white people in county); 36/9.3 = 3.87 (meaning nearly four times the proportional impact for black people in county).

Phew! That was some fun math! Have a great day!
