African Americans are more likely to get arrested than white people because African Americans are statistically more likely to engage in criminal activity.

I hope you mean that knowing that disadvantaged people, who as a result live in poverty, are more likely to turn to crime in order to make money. And not based on some belief that race makes certain groups more likely to be criminal or something.

If you mean the former, then yeah, maybe. But there is undeniable discrimination on part of law enforcement and, really, the justice system as a whole. Not every cop and judge, of course. But it's undeniable that blacks, especially, are often times targeted, which contributes to why black incarceration rates are significantly higher than any other group.
