Blacks' too, as Richard Pryor found out:
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 naive. Six weeks I was up there and I talked to the brothers. I talked to 'em, and ...THANK GOD WE GOT PENITENTIARIES!
I asked one, 'Why did you kill everybody in the house?' He says, 'They was home.'
I met one dude, kidnap-murdered four times. And I thought, three times, that was your last, right? I says, 'What happened?' 'I can't get this s--t right! But I’m getting paroled in two years.'"
