It wouldn't have anything to do with over 70% of them being somewhere in the criminal justice system (with pending criminal cases, in jail, on probation, or parole), would it?

It's actually more like 33%, which is still bad. In the inner cities, perhaps a majority would be involved in the criminal justice system, but middle-class blacks in the suburbs have a somewhat lower percentage of involvement

How about asking the question this way ?

How many Black Muslims have been in the criminal justice system? Is that less than the 33% (of all black males) or more than 33% ? Seems to me that since the prisons are a high-recruitment source for Black Muslims, it might be 70 %, but I don't have any statistics.
