...under Clinton, the U.S. prison population swelled to nearly 2 million - with blacks being the main victims.

I think the author is confused, "victims" are the ones the crimes are committed against. "Perpetrators" are the ones who commit the crimes and are generally the same ones who go to jail.

I get the impression that she wants black folk not to go to jail even if they commit crimes. Maybe she just thinks they don’t actually commit crimes, we just throw them in jail because they are black. I bet most of my black friends don’t believe that, but I’ll have to ask them.

I don’t get the “victims” descriptions, either. Anyone care to count the folks that were victimees ?
