To quote your article, “We all know about the racial disparity regarding incarceration and that disproportionately impact African Americans, especially males and how most of the crimes are economic in nature and are based on a small amount of cocaine and/or marijuana.”
Here’s my question. You claim that it is because of race that young black men are incarcerated and due to the crimes being mostly “economic in nature and are based on a small amount of cocaine and/or marijuana.” What does that have to do with race? Has it ever dawned on you that if those young black men did not HAVE THE DRUGS WITH THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE, they would not be charged with them! Possession of a schedule II drug (cocaine) is a felony and the vast majority of these young black men know that! They feel that just because it’s “just a little weed” that the law suddenly does not apply to them and when they are in turn charged they all claim it was racial profiling. No it was not; it was the simple fact that they were caught with an illegal substance. Next time instead of trying to say it is the government’s fault or a law enforcement agency’s fault that the vast majority of criminals that are doing time are young black males try working with these black males to make them understand they must take responsibility for their own actions. They should do their time, stop blaming racism and everyone else for their problems, get back out in the world and make something of themselves. You can only blame everyone else for your problems for so long; eventually, you have to grow up, take responsibility for yourself, and in turn, make something of your life!

Thank you very much for this eye-opening information.
This president continues to afflict and abuse the Black community which gave him the presidency with 96% of its votes in 2008.

This is sickening and troubling.

Instead of supporting black business development, this president has decided to shrink the Minority Business Development Agency and instead to increase spending on federal prisons to put more black folks in jail.

We really need to do something about this president and stop this insane, blind hero worship. Clearly, he has done nothing to deserve our loyalty, but instead our distrust and utmost scrutiny.

This president cannot be trusted.
