"No person ... shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." - Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.  In theory, we should have a justice system where criminals are identified, arrested, tried, sentenced, and parolled without regard to skin color.  In reality, the system is not color-blind.  African Americans are frequently the targets of racial profiling, are more likely to be arrested for a criminal offense, and receive stiffer sentences for similar offenses.  While African, Hispanic (Latino), and Asian Americans make up only 26% of the general population, they make up 58% of the prison population.  

Every American has the right to a fair trial.  Might these disparities be caused by many Ethnic minorities' inabilities to afford adequate legal counsel, or a lack of diversity in the makeup of judges at all levels of the courts system?
