Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said if he wasn’t elected president, the population of African-American males is likely to either wind up in prison or dead.
At an MTV/MySpace.com forum Thursday, Edwards responded to a question about inner-city kids partaking in violence by saying there was no “silver bullet” to fight the problem.
“We start with the president of the United States saying to America, ‘we cannot build enough prisons to solve this problem. And the idea that we can keep incarcerating and keep incarcerating — pretty soon we’re not going to have a young African-American male population in America. They’re all going to be in prison or dead. One of the two.”

Good to see this story has some legs.
The other thread is still available.
Just ask one of the thugs for one of his.
And I fully believe in the Ann Coulter Theory: Every nickel that goes to Edwards is a nickel Hillary will never see.
The Breck girl has clearly lost his mind. He’s always good for some comedy in the Dem debates. It’s like watching Britany Spears.
“We start with the president of the United States saying to America, ‘we cannot build enough prisons to solve this problem.”
Sounds to me like he’s saying that if we COULD build enough prisons, it WOULD solve the problem.
Why aren’t Jesse Jackson and Sharpton insulted by this obvious racist statement ?
Why not just pardon every black criminal in America?
We can’t give them the right to vote, but we can give them say $5,000 as compensation for we non black law abiding being non white law abiding Americans.
And to be fair, I include black law abiding Americans into those who should cough up $5,000 for every black criminal.
That should solve the problem, right?
Edwards is a total train wreck .Seriously seems he’s lost it .
The story has legs!
PING, lil’ bro - you saved the video, and now look what happened!
Lost it? He never had it.
Silver spoon preppy.
if they would quit killing each other the problem would be solved Breck girl....they shoulda listened to Bill Cosby
As though most urban ones weren’t already terminally overdosed on the opiate of welfare.
Reminds me of Trent Lott saying “You can’t build a fence. I’ve got two goats and you can’t build a fence to keep those goats from getting out.”
Maybe we should try letting someone other than Democrats run all the inner cities.
I just think its comical that if he’s not elected all this is going to happen. Meglomaniac alert.
“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 naïve. Six weeks I was up there and I talked to the brothers. I talked to ‘em, and …Thank God we got penitentiaries!” - Richard Pryor
