True,
But way to many.![]()
More than 1 in 4 (28%) of black males will go to prison compared to 1 in 25 white males (4%). that's a 7:1 ratio. Who causes YOU concern when you're walking alone at night?
Before siting statistics like that maybe we should look at the system rather than the individuals? Maybe it is just that the system is stacked against black people? Just throwing that out as I am not sure. Maybe it is stereotypes that cause this disparity? Maybe it is the fact that so many young black youths who get into trouble just don't have the financial wherewithal to hire a good defense lawyer? Or maybe it is just that the white male is assumed innocent until proven guilty and the reverse is true for the black male? Maybe it is a combination of a lot of things. All those statistics prove is that the percentage of black males who end up in prison is much larger than the percentage of white males. The question that needs to be answered is; why is that the case?
I'm just throwing questions out not stating facts.

1. there is no proof the system is stacked
2. the best defense is the truth, unfortunately that seldom works in favor of the guilty
