We always hear how blacks are disproportionately held in prisions. The answer to that is simple. Blacks disproportionately commit more crimes for which they are imprisoned. To many in the black community, being arrested, jailed or senteneced to prison is looked upon as a badge of honor, something to be looked up to and admired. Then the leaders of the blacks complain that blacks are sterotyped. They act in outrageous manners and then want to know why they are avoided.
