In order to understand the disproportion one must realize that, “…if the percentage of Black males in prison had been as low as the proportion of white men, the number of Black men in jail would have been 25,000!”
There is obviously an urgent need for more affirmative action so we’ll get even more works of brilliancy like this one…

Sounds like his math is off too. One sixth (roughly) of the white prisoner population (either NJ or national) does not come out to 25,000.

Affirmative Action ~ the 'Pygmalion' approach to the world's ill's. Just teach them to speak our language, clean them up, and everything will be hunky dory. "Why can't the english learn to speak? " "My Fair Lady".

Why Can't the English Learn to Speak?

"Henry Look at her, a prisoner of the gutter,
Condemned by every syllable she ever uttered."

By law she should be taken out and hung,
For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue.

Eliza Garn! Henry I ask you, sir, what sort of word is that?
It's "Aoooow" and "Garn" that keep her in her place.
Not her wretched clothes and dirty face.

This verbal class distinction by now should be antique.

This is the very same principle which has created the terrorist. How many of the terrorist and South American dictators were brought here to be educated in our education system and instead of embracing the values, which so abundantly blessed them with our superior education, instead used it to further their own agendas.
