One of the major factors contributing to the stressful environment for young black males (and other minority youth) continues to be the persistent pattern of police harassment, misconduct and brutality toward these youth. As Michelle Alexander has noted in her recent book, "The New Jim Crow," the United States has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world; this seems to be a deliberate strategy to deal with black males who are frequently viewed as a threat to the social order.

“I thought liberals did not like bullies in schools.”
Classic example of projection. Liberals (esp feminists) are the biggest bullies around.
Black inability to govern well and a propensity for personal violence is a worldwide problem.
Every black nation or one that has a sizable population of tropical Africans deals with virtually the same issues we do.
Bermuda and a few other banking resort nations being the rare exception but even they have their areas
We can argue and parse why forever but until we deal with the reality and quit blaming the better performing demographic groups this will just get worse
Word was Michael used cigars to insert the weed & smoke the illegal drugs that way.
That, among other things. The single biggest obstacle is the refusal to acknowledge that from A-Z black families have a problem and the subsequent attempts to hide those problems by burying the statistics, completely ignoring the statistics and making illegal in some ways to even gather racial statistics.
It all comes down to earnings power. Tatt’ed up black teens with grills and self imposed speech impediments coming from the food stamp mothers just aren’t going to be educated enough to make it in the real world. We know this to be true because White kids in the same circumstances have the same problem.
Funny no college has been identified that Michael was supposed to be going to.
At this late date, he would have to have been enrolled by now.
The “college” probably wanted Brown for one reason and one reason only.....to play football.
It was like that when I was in college decades ago. The university brought over this tall, long-haired guy from Brazil to play on the men’s volleyball team. He couldn’t even speak English. I doubt if he took many, if any, courses.
Nah- he was just too lazy to make 2 trips & he knew the store owner was going to report the robbery.
Are they testing them for what they know, or if they are capable of processing information?
Regarding inner city blacks, I have no doubt they may not know much, nor are they expected to.
Do “they” differentiate between black ghetto types and middle class or professional blacks?
How about the IQs of British blacks...they seem far advanced over “African-Americans”...at least they can speak the language.
I think it’s cultural, since we see other blacks participating successfully in the American economy and as professionals.
No, I am referring Herrnstein and Murray.

The problem is that doing all the things to be successful in this country is considered “Acting White.”
As long as they keep relocating anti-social misfits, I know I will keep relocating myself as far from them as possible. And when that's not possible, I will move places with taller walls and stronger gates. In other words, I aint living with them. Ever.
Solid and stern education is needed. Not these teen day care centers they try and call schools. They’re just training grounds for thugs 101.
Measurable intelligence can be improved with education. There’s not a racial reason for things the ‘bell curve’ points out, its circumstance.
Interesting tagline as it’s Christian/Buddhist in nature.
Sorta.

What response would Ms Alexander recommend when dealing with Robbery, Rape and Violent Assault/Murder?
Good, I stand corrected, and I'm glad to know that. What can you tell us about developmental problems for "fetal alcohol" babies?
Blacks vote 95% for the people who enacted the public policies that destroyed their family structure and led to the problems we see.
Now the people who enacted those policies want more money and power and votes to create an even bigger government to deal with the fall out of the crap government they already created.
My dad left when I was 6. I’ve never done drugs or alcohol, never robbed anyone or anything, did my own homework, got myself a job, learned to save MY money and buy a home, etc...
My Dad was disengaged as long as I can remember and gone when I was eight. My Mom worked in a factory and during a portion of the Carter years also cleaned offices to make ends meet.
It never occured to me to loot stores, destroy property, burn down my neighborhood, sell drugs, steal for drugs, etc... That’s likely because it wouldn’t have improved my situation.
Democrats created “the hood” through their years of the New Deal, Great Society, welfare, and social programs and then wonder why there’s crime and corruption there.
Yes, lack of fathers is the major factor.
OTOH, there are plenty of successful blacks. Why don’t youngsters want to emulate them? The horrible culture of drugs and rap is the reason. Blacks pulling blacks down into the sewer with them.
