Even though I know for a fact Stephen A Smith is a c00n, and I found some things wrong with Marc Cuban's comments (not what MOST people find wrong with them, but whatever)....
With that said, I'm just gonna leave this here:
I don't debate on emotion... I debate on fact.....: It is a FACT that Mark Cuban
SHOULD be MORE WORRIED about a black person in a hoody at night than a white person.... This is a FACT.
Whites out number blacks by like 5 to 1 in America, but we outnumber them by 6 to 1 in the prisons.
We just gonna pretend this shyt isn't a FACT??
Mark Cuban probably too shook to say THIS, but THIS is how I wouldve defended myself, and it needs to be said.
I'm not saying this shyt to stir up shyt or troll.... I'm saying this shyt because WE NEED TO LOOK AT OURSELVES and do better...
We get some more billionaires and lower the jail ratio, THEN we can consider ourselves on a level playing field...
UNTIL THEN, A lot of the shyt these crackers say about us is true. It's hurtful, but its true.
(I say this fully understanding cops are more prejiduce against blacks and target us more, but not to the fukkin tune of 6 to 1)
WE GOTTA DO BETTER...... Spread the word... and good luck.
One
I'm sorry, you were saying???
NO THIS BROTHA
@really DID NOT COME IN HERE TALMBOUT: WE SHOULD SCARED ABOUT BLACK PPL BECAUSE SO MANY OF THEM ARE IN PRISON
I KNOW DUDE FOUND NEW FOUND

FAME IN THAT STYLES P THREAD, JUST NO
THAT IS THE WORST POST I'VE EVER READ ON THIS SITE
I'm glad you
@IncarcerationDay got him, before I did!
One of the biggest proofs that racism is still alive is the calculated system that inordinately locks up more blacks than whites, for the same crimes, despite the huge disparities in national population.
I say this fully understanding cops are more prejiduce against blacks and target us more, but not to the fukkin tune of 6 to 1

@really
NO YOU DON'T
YOU DON'T KNOW THE HALF OF IT
IF YOU THINK IT'S JUST US BEING PARANOID
THE REASON I'M PRO LEGALIZATION IS BECAUSE THAT'S ONE LESS WAY TO KEEP US OUT OF THE SYSTEM
BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T IN JAIL BECAUSE OF VIOLENT CRIMES (SOMETHING'S THAT BEEN DOWN SINCE THE EARLY 90'S NATIONALLY)
BUT, SPECIFICALLY NON-VIOLENT DRUG OFFENSES!!!!!!!!!
MY GOODNESS, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT IF YOU DID A BIT MORE RESOURCE THAN;

"There's more blacks, than whites, in prison, brehs--I'm scare."
That's ignorance is why this corrupt system is able to flourish; ppl think it's "deserved."
I don't ever want to hear a black man say; we need to act better if we want to be treated better.
You realize there's incentive to keep people in jail in order to avoid contractual monetary penalties to the state (ie tax payers)?
Prison Quotas Push Lawmakers To Fill Beds, Derail Reform
How does this happen in a "free" country? Monetizing prison population levels?
DUKE, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS GAME. AND THIS IS THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.
*calms*
I didn't understand prison being called "modern day slavery" until I finished my degree in Criminal Justice.
I used to be offended by the notion....now, I understand it to be fact.
Less than a year later, the company that runs the prison, Management & Training Corp., threatened to sue the state. A line in their contract guaranteed that the prison would remain 97 percent full. They argued they had lost nearly $10 million from the reduced inmate population.
Yes, they sued the state because they're weren't enough people in prison.
I lowkey want to report your post
@really for that uneducated, racist nonsense.
I love you, brother. But, THAT's the nonsense we need to stop doin'; tellin' ourselves we deserve this...
Read that article
@really
There's too many things, important, to just give you cliffnotes.
Private prison corporations emerged in the 1980s and 1990s, at a time when crime rates were soaring and states were scrambling to keep up with surging prison populations. Lawmakers needed quick alternatives, and looked to private prisons as an overflow valve to house inmates who were overcrowding the existing state systems.
"You can't project years into the future what your prison population is going to look like," said Shahrzad Habibi, research director with In the Public Interest, who authored the study on prison bed guarantees, which the group calls "lockup quotas." "If there is a reduction in the prison population, instead of closing these private prisons first, there is an incentive to keep funneling inmates there, to keep giving them business."
They playin' with ppls lives, treating them like business commodities and you talmbout "We need to do better..."
Treating prisons like they're hotels...
