The incarceration rate of blacks (African Americans) is more than three times higher than the national average

Actual facts in a racist war on drugs.
More black Americans get caught committing more crime
Does that mean that the American Justice System is racist? ... or unfair?
OR
That more black Americans commit more crime?
Why were all those poor people stacked up on the other side of the chunnel creating that dirty, nasty, violent immigrant camp?

Who's depleted again?
Seems about right considering they only make up 13% of the population, but commit 7-10 times the amount of crimes whites do.
It's a poverty issue, and the Prison Industrial Complex, War on Drugs,etc. rather than racial genetics.
Oh, wait can't reason with that now days on here.
You can reason with whatever you want, I just tend to use hard facts like the one I posted. I grew up in poverty and know the violence that comes out of neighborhoods like that. In my opinion it isn't poverty that drives the crime. It's the drugs and lack of parenting that happens in those communities.
