NY Times puzzled over 'disappearance' of 1.5 million black men

Where's Waldo? The New York Times plays this game on a large scale with a disingenuous article talking about the "disappearance" of 1.5 million black men.

In New York, almost 120,000 black men between the ages of 25 and 54 are missing from everyday life. In Chicago, 45,000 are, and more than 30,000 are missing in Philadelphia. Across the South — from North Charleston, S.C., through Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi and up into Ferguson, Mo. — hundreds of thousands more are missing.

They are missing, largely because of early deaths or because they are behind bars. Remarkably, black women who are 25 to 54 and not in jail outnumber black men in that category by 1.5 million, according to anUpshot analysis. For every 100 black women in this age group living outside of jail, there are only 83 black men.

Perhaps the starkest description of the situation is this: More than one out of every six black men who today should be between 25 and 54 years old have disappeared from daily life.

It is a tragedy, but completely avoidable if liberals would quit coddling minorities.

I paraphrase someone who said:

"All of Society's ills can be blamed directly or indirectly, on liberal policies and liberalism."

Could have something to do with the 72% of black males who abandon their children.

Maybe there are in obamas new secret military. Nah, just kidding, not nearly disciplined enough a group[

Where’s Waldo?

Shouldn’t it be “Where’s Leroy?

This might not happen if government and liberals would quit insisting on concocting statistics to fit their arguments and reported the truth. Something like reporting the actual number of black males in prison or whatever as a result of crimes they committed instead of implying through tortuously contorted statistics to illustrate why old, bald fat white men are the real problem.

The Great Society at work. The KKK itself couldn't have done more harm to blacks than DemocRATS.

Wait. What am I saying? The KKK was created by DemocRATS.

(psssst!, New York Times), (maybe you should be concerned about where your missing subscriber base went.) (Maybe there’s a connection.)

Bingo!

Shouldn’t it be “Where’s Leroy?

More like "Where's Kwame?"

Victims of the war on poverty.

Headline makes it sound like Argentina. If you know where they are, albeit jail or the cemetery, they ain’t missing.

“They are missing, largely because of early deaths or because they are behind bars.”

Then stop doing those things which tend to lead to those results.

[Texas Eagle]

Say, New York Times, does that figure include the number of black men who have been killed inside their mother’s womb?

[Fightin Whitey]

“Where’s Leroy?

Over there with Tarvaris.

[petercooper]

Jail is home, baby.

[Political Junkie Too]

I thought they were "missing" because they compared the true population to the voter rolls.

And the government policies that 'encouraged' mothers to boot them out in favor of getting a handout from Uncle Sam.

Wait. What am I saying? The KKK was created by DemocRATS.

The KKK was the terror/death squad wing of the Democrat Party.
