As far as so many black men in prison, what are they trying to say?
If you do the crime, you should do the time. Regardless of skin color or any other characteristic, if you do the crime and are convicted, you get sent to prison. What are they saying????
That the entire system is racist. They, and many others, have been saying it for years.
What are they trying to say? That ‘’The The War On Drugs’’ is a smashing success as far as putting black men in jail and keeping them there.
“As far as so many black men in prison, what are they trying to say?”
The New York Slimes is the same outfit that a few years ago was complaining that the crime rate had gone down, so there was no reason to have so many people in prison.
So what they seem to be saying is that the Slimes just doesn’t like the idea of people being in prison, though they have no idea why. If it weren’t race, they would find some other reason to be against it.
The problem is that, when you compare apples to apples (white man vs black man... same criminal record, same crime committed, same age) the black man will get a much harsher sentence.
The very bad part is that the black man will also get a record that will stand in the way of him becoming an effective provider once he gets out.
Think about how many of our presidents have admitted to doing drugs in their youth. Had they been *caught* or prosecuted as black men are, they never would’ve made the Oval Office.
So the harsher sentences for young black males truly do have a tremendous impact on their future and hamper their entire community in the long run.
Young white males are spared this black mark - for the exact same crimes.
