In the NBA, 77% of all fouls are called on African Americans. Therefore, NBA officials must be racists, right? Oh wait, 77% of the NBA is made up of African Americans. Do poorer people drive crappier cars which in turn get pulled over more often? Most certainly.
And in one quick google search I found stats that disagree with yours. This site has crime stats for Minnesota broken down by race. Go to page 63.

It lists the crimes by race. Whites outnumber Afr. Americans by more than 2 to 1.
Also, according to the Innocence Project the number 1 reason for wrongful convictions is false identification, not racism! In fact, false identification was the cause in over 75% of the cases.
