You might want to look at new data. 2004 is a few years ago.

Whites have surpassed blacks in prison on drug charges here in the midwest.

Meth-related crime has also, in parts of the country, been the main factor behind steep increases in the number of whites going to prison. This can be seen in, among other places, Minnesota and Arkansas, where meth-related crimes have been responsible for a surge in the white prison population, such that for the first time in decades both of these states have white majorities within their corrections systems.
