The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness - YouTube
I don't necessarily agree. I mean some progress is being made in respect to incarceration and black on black crime. Guns are being taken off the streets and being harder to obtain.
The big problem America has is greed. These private prisons make a lot of money, and they employ people. These prisons should focus more on rehabilitation. There should be laws in place that make it so that you're still treated fairly after you've left prison. People need to remember that sometimes innocent people go to prison, and rehabilitation is more useful than just straight up punishment.
I think if incarceration rates were down then the black population would grow substantially and so would the black middle class. It blows my mind that there are people who don't want to see how black people having money, jobs, and starting new businesses and thus employing more people is good for the country. There is a fear of the blackman in America that needs to be purged. I think deep down a lot of white people assume that once black people get power we will be as evil, oppressive, and unspeakably vicious and cruel to them as they were to us.
I truly do fear for the future of Black America. Everything is pointing in the wrong direction. I think about this stuff all the time and I don't even know where to begin to solve these problems. I have ideas that range from simple education reform to massive, societal changes like consolidating our population to a single state or group of states in close proximity....but it all seems so impossible.
We lost a long time ago, and the past century has just been everyone else twisting the knife. We need a fukking "historical mulligan" at this point.
Some individuals will continue to eat as always, but as a group, we're fukked....![]()
where is reagan buried? this taco bell i ate earlier is bubblin i need to relieve myself![]()
Remember that book that came out a year or so ago that said that there are more black men in prison right now than there were enslaved in 1860.
They got us back in chains. Fukkin crakkkas.
Don't sell drugs... pretty easy to avoid.
i work in a prison... there are guys who have brutally murdered people, sexually assaulted children under 10, etc.. who are serving less than 25 years
there are also guys who got a caught with a kilo of coke serving 75 years....

it's not just the war on drugsWar on Drugs is the main cause of this mess. And no one seems to really give a fukk. I mean, we all care, but year by year nothing changes
People don't even question the war on drugs anymore because that's all most people have known.
not to mention we've now made hundreds of thousands of jobs based around the war on drugs. The machine is in motion and it's going to be hard to stop it.
This is how the left brained European thinksStop thinking as a group then you idiot. Wanna be ina group?? A tribe? Abooga booga! Get the fukk back to Africa.
in terms of production, or tangible/beneficial impact IMHO this is probably the best move at this point. Which is shytty to say that SEPARATION may be the most pragmatic way to turn the direction of the AA community in america around.I truly do fear for the future of Black America.
