The black community is exactly whom it was directed at. No other culture that i’m aware of talks about 1964. You have any examples of the Asian Panthers, or Mexican Crips and Bloods being active at this time?
Not committing crimes is usually a good way to stay out jail, no matter what color you are. I’ve found that the thought of Big Bubba doing unspeakable things to me if I was in jail, is a good deterrent. Of course, there are people wrongly convicted in jail, but what to do about that. I don’t know.
In the 1900-1910 decade when capital punishment was routinely carried out on convicted murderersshortly after the sentence was pronounced, the US murder rate was less than 1 per 100,000 population. 90 years later when first offender murderers were usually released on parole after serving just over 9 years on average, the US murder rate was approximately 8.9 per 100,000 population.
The per capita murder rate has dropped since the late 1990s, IMHO due at least partly to the enactment of shall issue CCW laws in most states, but is now beginning to show signs of a resurgence. I believe that reinstating the normal 1900 practice of capital punishment for 1st degree murderers would bring the US murder rate down to at least 1/2 of what it is now, and probably even less.
BTW, it's interesting that Washington D.C., where handguns are in effect totally banned and long guns are not allowed to be kept assembled, the per capita murder rate is approximately 35 time higher (69 vs 2.3 per 100,000) than in Switzerland where both handguns and long guns are legal for any law abiding Swiss citizen to own and keep in his/her home and vehicle, and regular target practice with military type firearms is encouraged by the state. The NYC rate is about 7 times higher than that of the Swiss, and the Chicago rate is approximate 10 times higher. In NYC, for all practical purposes the average citizen who is not either rich, somehow connected to a high ranking politician, or a celebrity can not obtain a permit to legally possess a handgun even in his/her home, and it is very difficult for him/her to legally possess a shotgun or rifle. Chicago bans all handguns that were not registered to the current owner prior to a certain date, IIRC it was some year in the mid-1970s but I could be off by a few years either way.
1) Blacks don’t have the smarts to get away with doing certain crimes.
2) There are too many blacks in Iowa and state residents want to keep them all together making it easier to watch over them.
3) Black males don’t want to pay alimony and child support for all their girlfriends and bastard kids.
4) Drugs are easier to get while in prison.
As I said, they are an assortment of reasons why Blacks are in prison.
The last thing Jesse Hijackson and Al Notsosharpton want is responsible black dads and moms, they’d be out of business!
“Didn’t the Beaver usually try to blame it on Larry?”
Yes, but Beaver had a Ward to set him straight.
And therin lies the key difference.

“Sad to say but they’re (black males) the ones committing the vast majority of violent crimes in this country. I live in Tidewater VA and last year 92% of all murders committed in Norfolk VA were committed by black males...and the numbers are the same or higher in the other cities in the area.
Change black culture. Change the culture that glorifies the thug life and denigrates respectability. Change the culture that shirks manly responsibility and encourages young black men to impregnate as many young women as are willing to let them. We don’t need to change white culture and our attitudes towards blacks...you need to change the reality that breeds that attitude.”
These people are doing the crimes that (white) Americans won’t do, sorta like the Mexicans who do the work that Americans won’t do. s/off

Great stats and great info. And, amazingly, none of what you said required the mention of any race! How refreshing.
All the Black Men criminals ought to be brought to Harold Johnson’s house.
that is true but they are pilot fish not the cause.....the cause is cross cultural tolerance and even celebration in some quarters
this would have never been tolerated by any race in America before the Great Society
Rock is sorta funny but very much in the blacks are victims of the man mindset.....a liberal....and then some
Spike Lee with a sense of humour
nice moniker btw
If blacks are over-represented in prisons its because reproduction has become a hobby instead of a responsibility.
More black “youths” wind up prodcuing illegitimate children than any other ethnic group in America. Most often these individuals grow up with no family, no parental supervision, no morals, no self-respect, no respect for other people, and no goals in life. The result - they wind up commiting crimes because that is all they have been programmed to do.
And guess what? Chances are they will repeat the cylce and produce more like themselves.
If our prisons are too crowded, its because being there is preferable to being in a productive job.
As Sherman once said war is hell and by making it so, we can reduce suffering and end it quicker.
If prisons became penal colonies again instead of feel-good gardens for sociologists, we would have less convicts to house of all races.
Ask Joe Arapayo.
Choosing to live a life of crime is no way to stay out of prison.
He’s right, we shouldn’t be stuffing prisons, the convicts should be outside, getting some exercise, fresh air and sunshine...on a chain gang.

LOL, typical drek from the Stinky.
The prisoners should be turned loose - - in the author’s neighborhood.
The Great Society helped NOBODY except the Federal Government.
