Seems reasonable. Prisons need vendors, that creates jobs. Win win.

 

[vantexan]

Sure, seems about right.

That's probably a low estimate if we're talking about black men.

There's kind of a black crime problem in this country if you haven't heard.

So about 10 million currently living black men have either been imprisoned or are about to be. Uh-huh.

Link didn't work. So about 7 million according to Huffpost. That not 25% of all blacks. Original post said 2 of the 8. It was a crap post.

OK, working for me now. So they're saying one out of three born today if trends continue. So then 25% aren't incarcerated now. Crap #'s. And when have y'all ever sourced the liberal Huffpost anyways?

I just googled the first 3 things that came up.

I mean a quick Google search shows 28% of black men by age 40. And that's just for federal prison.

I don't see a problem with acknowledging the enormous black crime problem.

I had 15 commandments but dropped a tablet(stole a joke).

That's not 25% of all blacks. Look at those kids. They're innocent little kids. No matter who they grow up to be try to be sensitive about kids. If it's within you to do so.

It's 28% of black men by age 40, just for federal prison alone. It doesn't include stats after the age of 40, or state, county, and local incarceration rates.

This argument is known as an appeal to emotion fallacy and signals to me you're starting to realize the 25% number in fact isn't unrealistic.

Ignoring the black crime problem doesn't help anyone.

The problem is 7 out of 10 black families do not have a father in the home.
The 3 that do, 2 of them are drunk and wife beaters.
Kids don't have a chance. No structure or principles.

No, what I reacted to was the harsh characterization of a bunch of little black kids. And they were all smeared, not 25% of them. It's the way a number of you portray all blacks all the time. It's pretty sad to pigeonhole an entire race this way.

Well Dr. Freud on what study do you base your assertion?

Statistics are racist.
I think we're done here.

How statistics are interpreted often is racist.
