More than 60% of the people in prison are now racial and ethnic minorities. For Black males in their thirties, 1 in every 10 is in prison or jail on any given day. These trends have been intensified by the disproportionate impact of the "war on drugs," in which two-thirds of all persons in prison for drug offenses are people of color.



Why are minorities so mad? I understand that racism exists for all races and that there are shitty people in the world that are shitty. This thread is not about racial injustice. It's about why I can't walk down the damn street without wondering if every black kid I see wearing a hoodie is going to jump me.

Why are blacks so much more likely to spend time in jail? Is it Dr. Dre and NWA's fault? Would the kids be all frick THE POLICE if we were all listening to George Jones? i'm just sayin

I'm not being racist (as I have a black friend). I'm just being real.

What's the deal?

I wonder this too. I hope someone can shed some light on the causes.

Why do you have to be mad to commit crime? Sometimes life is shite, especially for minorities, and you just want to get ahead.

I'm not getting into a debate over it, but if you dig into stats, the fact of the matter is that minorities spend time in prison, more often than not, for the same crimes that Caucasians get probation for.

Maybe so but why would that be? If all judges and police officers were middle-ages white people, your point would make more sense.

Most judges and police officers ARE white. I'm not sure what age has to do with it because I see backwards shite posted all the time on various internet sites from people across various age ranges.

It's a combination of socioeconomics and culture.

People are too scared to admit the obvious...all you have to do is trace the ancestry back to country of origin. Find one African country that is developed and successful, and not torn apart by violence and drugs.

Many of them simply don't have the respect, or understanding, for law and order. Sure some of them do, but a large portion don't. Nothing is holding back their race from being successful in America except themselves but they'll never realize it or admit it.

They hold a more tribal attitude i.e a close relationship to their friends and neighborhood, and abide by the law of the street. They hold little respect for "white man's law" because they see it in their eyes as something that is there to hold them back, so they rebel against it.
