Poverty means unequal access to the legal system. Minorities are more prone to poverty in part because poor neighborhoods have less property tax to fund the schools in the area, and in part because they earn less for the same job done.
Unequal access to the legal system means that a higher proportion of minorities are incarcerated, usually for longer terms, and that too feeds back into the economics of racism in America.
