I actually read this article yesterday. Y'all should read it before you talk shyt, it's actually really informative. It's basically talking about how the statistics they report on the economy are really skewed because they don't take into account the population of those who are incarcerated. One fact that they mentioned that I thought was really interesting was that if all the black and white men entered the workforce, it would actually widen the wage gap that exists between whites and blacks.
I think if op presented the article more effectively it would have made for a good discussion.
