i love all the facts with random backgrounds. are all of those true? the one about more black people in jail then slaves in 1850 really gets my attention. #50 and #24
i just looked it up and there were 3,953,760 enslaved people in the 1850's that is more than people emprisoned today. However if you take the people on parole and under some type of correction the number jumps to 7.2 million on which about 40% are black which take the number of black people in prison or in some trouble up to astounding 2846965. Although these are the numbers i found Michelle Alexander is the one who said that and here a post to the video of it http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/12/michelle-alexander-more-black-men-in-prison-slaves-1850_n_1007368.html
why thank you my good sir. you are perfect for people who are interested in things but dont have the time/will power to look it up themselves. I salute you xD
It's the environment not the inhabitants. Sociological factors will show that it isn't a matter of race, but a matter of where you live.
If you have 2 neighborhoods both with predominately black populations, one has a high socioeconomic status and the other a low status the lower status area will have a higher crime rate. This is due to the fact that in the lower status area criminal activity is a source of income as opposed to the higher status area where it's harder for criminal activity to root itself as a source of income.
I really can't stand people who cry wolf (race) over matters that can easily be fixed by a change in environment. It takes away validity from a very real issue.
The Geek in the Geek v. Nerd thing was kind of half geek and half hipster...And I hated how they gave the geek a Mac...cause I identify as a geek and Mac's are crap! But never the less, +3 from me.
