A few ignorant statistician-wanna-bees compare the stats of prison populations by race and then look at population stats. When they notice that there is a much higher proportion of blacks in prison (and all ethnic minorities) than are represented in the general population, they have a leftist orgasm and conclude that judges and juries are racist. And, if not that, then it's our racist society that leads the poor black "victims" (i.e. the black prisoner) to commit crime.
It's a joke. The elephant in the room, never mentioned because of all the P.C. bullsh*t, is that crime and gang-banger behavior is glorified by black culture. Also, the victim-mongers, like Jesse Jackson and Co., perpetuate the problem by keeping blacks in a perpetual state of feeling victimized and living with a big ol' block of wood on their shoulders. The sense of entitlement many blacks have is amazing, and does them no good whatsoever.
What a mess. The answer lies in people like Bill Cosby and Justice Thomas, but their voices are drowned by the people who benefit from this state of affairs, to the detriment of black Americans.
I don't know who uses it, but one of my favorite taglines here is "If you can't be part of the solution, there is lots of money to be made in prolonging the problem". There are lots of people prolonging the problem.
I agree.
I used to attend a Bible study with a mostly black group of women (most weeks I was the only white face). It gave me a great appreciation of what these women were dealing with re their kids. It was sad, because they hated that gang banger culture and did their best to keep their kids away from it. But it’s really hard when they are surrounded by that.
Until the black community as a whole comes to terms with this issue they will continue to see large numbers of their sons in jail and their daughters pregnant at an early age.
