For every 100 black women not in jail, there are only 83 black men. The remaining men – 1.5 million of them – are, in a sense, missing.

[Iron Munro]

Our daily dose of race based whining.

It has become white noise - like tires humming on the interstate off in the distance.

The noise is always there but it has become meaningless.

[SampleMan]

I fail to see how this is a problem when people aren’t getting married anyway?

A cattle heard only needs a few bulls.

[right way right]

Deys in jail singin dis song...

I bet they’re still collecting benefits though....

[jmacusa]

What are they trying to say? That ‘’The The War On Drugs’’ is a smashing success as far as putting black men in jail and keeping them there.

[jmacusa]

Your Eboics is spot on however in the patois of ‘’de hood’’ ‘’jail’ is ‘’de joint’’. Jus’ keepin’ it real, yo.’’

[Steamburg]

So the racist is saying that Black women are only interested in black men? How the hell can this kind of hate rhetoric get tolerated, let alone published?
I don’t see a complaint about the over representation of blacks in the NFL, NBA or MLB. Write that article and see how your career goes.

What’s that UFO doing above his head?!

The miscreants are sequestered from the gene pool. Perhaps to the benefit of society. Besides, the welfare system discouraged black males from remaining in the home. Is there some reason for concern now?

[Myrddin]

But the women are still getting pregnant...multiple times. So, I’d say the missing men aren’t really missed.

No doubt there are plenty of black males happy to double or trip dip to cover the "missing" parties.

That was taken at an ELO concert.

Who is yo daddy?

[sickoflibs]

Bigger % black men locked up than black women?

How about the black women having black men locked up in jail over child support payment ??

That’s not whites, nor is it the Klan, but it’s their own.

Like when a woman waits five years to tell a man she had a baby, then gets the family court to award her five years of back child support, which he doesn’t have.

Cue up "Evil Woman".

[Salamander]

Will be stuck in my head all day, now.

*Thanks*

:P

They’re not missing.

We know where they are: behind bars.

If you commit crimes, you go to prison.

Cause and effect.

End of story.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

“As far as so many black men in prison, what are they trying to say?”

The New York Slimes is the same outfit that a few years ago was complaining that the crime rate had gone down, so there was no reason to have so many people in prison.

So what they seem to be saying is that the Slimes just doesn’t like the idea of people being in prison, though they have no idea why. If it weren’t race, they would find some other reason to be against it.

“It made my heart ache, you know, to see all these beautiful black men in the joint. The warriors should be out there helping the masses. I felt that way, I was real naive. Six weeks I was up there and I talked to the brothers. I talked to ‘em, and ... THANK GOD WE GOT PENITENTIARIES!” - Richard Pryor

Commercials for the Maury Povich show regularly advertise DNA testing men who have fathered over 20 kids.
