black men slavery prison

Los Angeles — Michelle Alexander, author of “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness” recently said:

“More African American men are in prison or jail, on probation or parole than were enslaved in 1850, before the Civil War began.”

The L.A. Progressive reports:

Growing crime rates over the past 30 years don’t explain the skyrocketing numbers of black — and increasingly brown — men caught in America’s prison system, according to Alexander, who clerked for Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun after attending Stanford Law. “In fact, crime rates have fluctuated over the years and are now at historical lows.”

“Most of that increase is due to the War on Drugs, a war waged almost exclusively in poor communities of color,” she said, even though studies have shown that whites use and sell illegal drugs at rates equal to or above blacks. In some black inner-city communities, four of five black youth can expect to be caught up in the criminal justice system during their lifetimes.

    It all have to do with CHOICES…..some do stupid things and DESEREs to be there, while others were FRAMED and have to wait YEARS for justice to be served o them, aqnd get compensated for it, but FEW would like to talk about the ones who were WROGFULLY imprisoned……

    You are so Jazz, choices are a big part of why people get locked up. Thats why you can’t afford to lose your temper if you are black in this day and age. Thats why Nazis march in black neighborhoods and losers post irrelevant statistics on this site, all in hopes of provoking us to do something we regret that lands any one of us locked up. Anyway, this is Lincoln’s alternate plan, since sending us all to South America didn’t go through.

    A lot of folks don’t have a game plan of how to survive in a legit way so they do the predictable thing, get caught and get free room and board, free gym membership, satellite TV, free education and a job… All at the taxpayers expense… Something they would have never been able to get without going to jail…

    For some folks its a career choice…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    Obviously these are bad choices, but we also have to consider that sometimes, these men/women don’t have any good alternatives to choose from. Hold on now brothers, I know what that sounds like and believe me it’s not. I’m in no way condoning criminal behavior or activity, but when faced with 15% unemployment rates (some cities have 50% unemployment rates among blacks) a piss poor education (that’s what happens when you outsource this service) and a total lack of knowledge of self, choices are going to be extremely limited. I think it’s worth noting that more black men went to prison under the SO CALLED first black President than any other. Basically just created a pipeline to enhance the prison industrial complex. Fast Forward 10 years and I see many of you applauded when the charmer-in-chief worked towards equaling the sentencing of crack to cocaine as if this was some great victory. Didn’t you realize that the conditions for blacks to pick up one or the other as a means of survival still existed? SMDH at what some of you are willing to consider positives coming from Raymond (Barack) Shaw!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/AfricanSpeech/ AfricanSpeech

    That may be partly true but not all these folks are victims… There’s always a segment who are victims of the system but not all…

    The fact is that jail was really supposed to be jail, very few people would want to spend anytime there…

    Some foreign criminals even come to america and europe to commit crimes knowing that they will get a free room in prison with three square meals a day…

    An american prison, if it existed in really bad parts of the world would be full as well with people trying to escape the harshness of trying to live a legit life…

    @AfricanSpeech. If what you say is true, then what does it say that a country would make being locked up sound more appealing than life on the outside? Does that sound somewhat deliberate? I mean lets be real here, America and the way the economy has been constructed, you HAVE TO HAVE a certain amount of those who FAIL in order for the construct to succeed. It’s impossible for everyone to be absorbed and live a decent life, so many have to be subjected to abject poverty in order that a few can be filthy rich. It’s a zero sum game although they try to convince us it’s not.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blackbizman2008/ blackbizman2008

    I certainly agree that the rate of incarceration of black men has gotten out of control both by their own undoing and also by a system that has targeted us for perpetual slavery in a new form (don’t underestimate the amount of money involved in prison slave labor). I just kinda wish the author didn’t use the comparison of today’s black male prison population size with 1850′s black male slave population. To a mathematical/statistical kinda guy, its comparing apples and oranges given that the total population of african americans has increased since then. But the point made is well taken nonetheless. And speaking of stats, though they can be useful, i always wanna make sure the stats are not actually trying to perpetuate a stereotype through self-fulfilling prophecy vs. truly capturing real patterns.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    To clarify. Resources are actually infinite but those who control them are able to horde them giving off the illusion of finiteness. For instance, with all the arable land in the world, there is absolutely NO REASON for anyone to go hungry, yet we have millions of people starving to death each month. They will try to convince us that this is due to drought etc but when you look deeper, you can clearly see where some areas have been choked off of water supplies which result in large areas of land being rendered useless, and those who once lived off that land, are now forced to go work for Dole, Kraft or other multi national food companies! Sick games people are playing!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    As a longtime reader of this author, I could tell from the headline this wouldn’t have been written in the proper context nor would the use of proportion come into play. So because of that, I didn’t even actually read the article, just waiting for the great comments I knew were heading this way (doesn’t happen too often, but I like when this brother AfricanSpeech adds his 2 cents cause he is another certified NewsOne bomb dropper. In case anyone is wondering, who is doing the certifying, I AM DAMMIT).

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    As far as NewsOne bomb dropper “certification”

    The views and opinions are my own and don’t reflect nor cares how anyone else feels about it!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/audreyinportland/ audreyinportland

    Yes, this article is misleading in its lack of realistic statistics, but the amount of Black men in prison is still criminal. There are so many factors to consider with this. If we are not providing young African Americans (and Latinos) with opportunities for success, what is the likely alternative? Yes, a lot of them made poor choices, but really, what other choices were available to them? We need more resources for inner city youth programs, and drug rehabilitation in combination with life skills training. Our prison system is not designed for rehabilitation, as evidenced by the recidivism rates. Not to mention our ridiculous drug laws and the “War on Drugs.” What a farce. It’s time we woke up to this reality and spent the War on Drugs money in ways that will actually be beneficial to society instead of using it to warehouse people. Drug rehab programs as well as scholarship opportunities come to mind… Another factor is one of white privilege. When you are a member of a privileged group, you generally don’t realize this unless you happen to be remarkably self-aware. Even then, it’s easy to overlook. Harsh judgment of people of a less privileged group is easy. What is not easy is to understand the reasons behind another’s struggles.

    This is down right appalling and an absolute outrage. However, black men just need to keep their heads up and make good choices. We will survive. Let’s not talk about all the brothers who are locked up, Let’s talk about the brothers who are not locked up.

    See, this exactly why you get called out so often. Really?? You’re basically blaming Obama for black men going to jail?? Man, you really need to stop with this line of nonsense sometimes.

    Blacks were going to jail at alarming rates (even higher then this) when lord Reagan let drugs into this country which flooded the black neighborhoods.

    Obama has plenty of things to attack him on, but this one was waaayyyy out there….even for you.

    @Bvince. Actually, I was speaking about Bill Clinton. And as a matter of fact, more black men went to Jail in the first four years of Clinton than Reagan’s two year term. The prison industrial complex was always a strong player with respect to the economy, but that ExPLODED under Clinton! My fault for not being as clear as I should have been.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/infinite_question/ infinite_question

    The question SHOULD be “Are we willing to participate in a society where even ONE wrongly imprisoned black man has to spend his life incarcerated?” Remember folks, when our black men are punished, their immediate family is punished as well. I can understand _A_’s frustration and he has been correct about a lot of his claims but it should only surprise those who haven’t been following democrats closely. The president CAN NOT claim to be in our corner if he will fight the whole congress for Libya but WILL NOT confront them about this statistic.

    Why is it that our beloved president only shrugs his shoulders when it comes to US? If the T-baggers can get 60B (which they will hand directly to international corporations) in discretionary spending cuts with a few revivals, town hall meetings, and a midterm election; why are we in this predicament? The t baggers are able to get more from our president than US, based on what they MIGHT think if he does what is right for US. Labels like “socialist” are pushing BHO into a clintonian position and he’s losing his most loyal base, based on how his enemies might FEEL about his agenda.

    Now here are the meat and potatoes: it takes roughly 30 to 45k to incarcerate an inmate annually, it takes about 1/4th of that for probation or parole. It takes 1/12th of that to educate a college student. The country is willing to operate at a LOSS, just to uphold the status quo. Why are they SO afraid of a level playing field? In closing, I will say we cannot change the system until we change OURSELVES, for our unconditional search of assimilation, acceptance, and servitude has been just as influential to our current state as a capitalist’s quest for world domination.

    @infinite_question. You know my true frustration is with our people and our failure to look at the data “fairly.” We can’t continue to make excuses anymore. Now truth be told, I don’t hold BHO responsible for this AT ALL nor do I hold Clinton responsible. By the same token, I’m not going to sit here and blame Reagan or Bush either. These ills that ravish our communities are functions of decades old policies that evolve as years go by, but that evolution comes from forces that quite frankly DON’T take their cues from the President. I can see all the skeptics fixing their mouth to call me a conspiracy theorist already, but really, does anyone for one second believe that the disproportionate number of blacks that fill the jails, the unemployment lines, the low skill/wage jobs in this country and the world is a coincidence? Or perhaps there is something inherently wrong with us? Listen, bottom line is, if you don’t think it’s a result of master planning and manipulation by hidden hands, then one must believe that we are genetically predisposed to live the way the vast majority of us live, worldwide. I for one categorically REJECT that. I believe with every fiber in my being, that if left to our own devices, we would naturally reclaim our position as the greatest thinkers and producers the world has ever known! The quicker we all start thinking like that, the quicker our problems get solved. NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US. Us sitting here bickering everyday over whose better for us, Republicans or Democrats is like two dudes arguing over the bar tab on the titanic. Meanwhile we have young men getting injured, maimed and killed every night. We have 11 year old girls getting gang raped in parks? REALLY? I can’t wait for a day where we can take dudes like that out to a public square and make serious examples out of them (IF they are truly guilty of this crime let me add because you never know).

    Not only does the US have the highest rate of incarceration on the planet, but the racial disparity of arrests, convictions and imprisonment have become grossly pronounced. Nationwide Afro-Americans are arrested, convicted and imprisoned disproportionately. Thirty-seven percent of drug-offense arrests are Afro-Americans, 53 percent of convictions are of Afro-Americans, and 67 percent — two-thirds of all people imprisoned for drug offenses — are Afro-Americans. This is depute the fact that Afro-Americans do not use drugs at a perceivable higher rate than white Americans. – 8.2% of whites and 10.1% of blacks use illicit drugs.

    Much of the voting rights & victories won by the civil rights movement during the 1960s have effectively been eroded. Nearly 5 million people are now barred from voting because of felony disenfranchisement laws. The United States is the only industrial democracy that does this.

    Drug prohibition has become a successor system to Jim Crow laws in targeting black citizens, removing them from civil society and then barring them from the right to vote. If harsh sentences deterred illicit drug use, America would be “drug-free” by now. But that is not the case, and never will be. The drug war has given the “former land of the free” the highest incarceration rate in the world and disenfranchised millions of citizens. It is a cure worse than the disease.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/malcolmkyle/ malcolmkyle

    One out of three young African American (ages 18 to 35) men are in prison or on some form of supervised release. There are more African American men in prison than in college. Thats a four times higher percentage of Black men in prison than South Africa at the height of apartheid.

    Let’s look at the statistics again: (2008 – illicit drug use by race) “Current illicit drug use among persons aged 12 or older varied by race/ethnicity in 2008, with the lowest rate among Asians (3.6 percent) (Figure 2.9). Rates were 14.7 percent for persons reporting two or more races, 10.1 percent for blacks, 9.5 percent for American Indians or Alaska Natives, 8.2 percent for whites, 7.3 percent of Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders, and 6.2 percent for Hispanics.”

    That’s 8.2% of whites and 10.1% of blacks using illicit drugs. Now look at the incarceration statistics:

    (2007 – incarceration rate by race) “The custody incarceration rate for black males was 4,618 per 100,000.
    while the incarceration rate of white males was 773 per 100,000.

    This means that there are at least 5 times more blacks incarcerated for drug offenses than should be expected. This is clearly a gross injustice!

    http://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/node/64

    Whatever the exact dynamics involved, these horrific racial disparities are a direct result of drug-prohibition and are quite clearly unacceptable. This moronothon has done nothing but breed generations of incarcerated and disenfranchised Afro Americans and any citizen not doing their utmost to help reverse this perverse injustice may duly hang their head in shame.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/tishreni/ tishreni

    i know all too well about this fact because i live in downtown L.A’s infamous Skidrow.Over 75% of the people are on some type of paper down here and more come out of jail every day into these halfway house type programs.

    This isnt something that happened by mistake either.Whites , Hispanics, and even Asians(yes, their triad gangs are 10 times worst than any Black/Hispanic gangs could ever be) arent getting arrested in the same numbers that Black are daily.

    This area is a breeding ground for destruction and it’s hard to trust anyone.Hardly any Black men in this area are working and mostly everyone has kids from the people i know.

    The sad part about all of this is is that a lot of these men are really nice people.The streets and not being able to get a job have turned them into undesirable angry people.

    I would say things about how i feel sorry for some, but then i would have to retract that statement .Almost all of them when they were working have had non Black women and had a more stable life before they hit the “ROW”.

    Why is it they could give these other race women a good life and all the Black women get now is the left over Brothas with felonies and bad behaviors that the Non Black women dont have a use for?

    Sorry for that rant, but i think a lot of black women share my point of view.Prison time has made the Black family structure go down to where the average Black woman is just as screwed as our Black male counterpart if not worst.

    I dont know how it’s phrased but mabe somebody else knows exactly.It has to do something about cutting the feet off and the rest of the body will be cripled because you no longer have that support of the legs or whatever to carry the weight of the body..something like that..lol.sorry i cant remember.this is what society has done to the Black family.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Cocktail_Party/ Cocktail_Party

    Here’s the scenario: Imagine going to the grocery store tomorrow to purchase an orange.

    In this imaginary situation, a friend tells you that oranges are illegal.

    However, this friend also tells you where you can get an orange and even a whole bag of oranges, if you want them.

    So, because you love oranges that much and you trust this friend, you decide to go to that destination to purchase the orange.

    When you get there, you’re surprised to learn that the place from where you purchase the orange is hundreds of miles from an orange grove yet the seller has the best oranges in town.

    In fact, you’re so impressed with the enthusiasm of the seller and the quality of the orange that you ask the seller “Where did you get it from, who gave it to you?”

    To your surprise, the seller suddenly becomes violent and threatens to kill you! All for asking a simple question about an orange.

    You manage to talk yourself out of the situation and scurry home. Eventually, you eat the orange.

    After a while, you start thinking about the situation. It occurs to you that in order to produce an orange, a lot of things have to happen:

    1. Someone has to buy orange seeds.
    2. The seeds have to be planted by someone and watered, nurtured, until the orange grows.
    3. The land in which the seed is planted has to purchased and owned by someone.
    4. Someone picked a lot of oranges and then packaged them to be sold.
    5. Someone transported the oranges and then sold them to a distributor who then sold them to guys like the one of whom you asked the simple question.

    Then…you realize that none of the above matters. The only thing that you really care about is oranges. You love them, crave them, and want more so you go back to the place to buy more.

    When you get there, however, there’s a new guy there…selling those delicious oranges. You ask about the other guy but this new guy just shrugs and says “he got locked up, what you need…I got it.”

    You purchase yet another delicious orange.

    You’re curious though so you ask “why’d the other guy get locked up?”

    He says “I don’t know. Orange enforcement agencies set him up.” You say “oh, ok…that’s too bad. He should have been more careful.”

    On your way home, you come to the conclusion that you have no sympathy for the first guy. After all, he was mean, violent, threatened to kill you, and probably just a loser anyway so he deserves what he got. You get home, and happily eat your orange.

    Later on the news, you hear that there’s been a orange bust in the exact location where you purchased the oranges. You feel super lucky that you weren’t there at the time. You decide that this was too much of a close call so you’re going to stop eating oranges and just go on with your life. When you look at the tv screen, you actually feel good that the cops are “getting the orange dealers off the streets.” In fact, if it wasn’t for them we would have no orange problem. You decide that you’re going to eat oranges only every now and then.

    The End.

    The moral of the story: If the US really wants to wage a “war on drugs” they’ll need to cut off the supply. Go after the land owners, planters, distributors, the guy on the corner selling the drugs, AND the people purchasing them. Oh, let’s not forget the money launderers who make it possible for mass street money to be moved around (i.e. this includes the Catholic Church).

    The real moral of the story: For every black and brown guy who’s sitting in jail on a drug related offense, he represents at least 5-50 other people who SHOULD be incarcerated with him. That one “orange” is connected to tons of other people who, for obvious reasons, will never see the inside of a prison.

    Thus, when we read headlines such as “More Black men in prison today than were enslaved in 1850″, we have to be careful not to overlook the reality that their co-conspirators are walking around free. However, if we locked everyone who has a hand in dealing up, we wouldn’t have enough room. The new headline would read “More slave owners, overseers, slave catchers, abolishonists, anti-slave activists, and hypocrites in general in prison today than there were in 1850.”

    When Presidents of our own country (Obama included) openly admit to using illegal drugs, that should tell us that we’ve got the headline completely wrong. Who’s locked up? The lowest element on the drug dealing chain. Again, for every one who is locked up, there are tons of others who should be in there with him.

    “Can’t blame Whitey for everything”

    Well, I’m not blaming “Whitey”, however, Racial disparity within the law exist. There is good and bad in every race, but in this country, Black and Brown men are typically given a harsher prison sentence than Whites who commit the same crimes regardless of whether they are first time offenders or not. Should we blame blame Black and Brown men for this fact? I don’t see how given the fact we are on the receiving end of this harsh reality. So, I don’t blame EVERY SINGLE White man I see- only those who hold a position of authority and chooses not to acknowledge racial disparities within the law b/c they they feel a BLACK criminal deserves whatever punishment that is given to him….simply b/c he’s a BLACK criminal.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jauharah/ Jauharah

    Well, if the high incarceration rate is the result of the “war on drugs” then it just shows that a large percentage of the Black male population is selling drugs rather than getting real jobs or attending school. I wonder how many of them are doing it not for the purpose of making money to survive, but rather for the purpose of making money to appease some White woman,

    I have no sympathy for the men who get locked up because they willfully made wrong choices in life; they are to blame for their own situation. Those who were simply in the wrong place and the wrong time may be entitled to some sympathy and some help but only if they honestly just stumbled into the wrong place and situation.

    The plantation system aka jails, are putting innocent Black men in jail at an alarming rate. Yes, some of these negroes need to be behind bars, but a lot of Black men are in jail for petty bullshyt, while their white counterparts, get a slap on the hand and are released to their parents or put on probation.

    If you don’t have a job, you will hustle to make a living. Black males are underemployed, unemployed and some of us are unemployable; therefore, the latter of the group must take to the streets to survive. It’s unfortunate, but if you rob, steal and deal, you are more than likely, will be incarcerated.

    The white boy brings the drugs, guns and pills into the community, so the less fortunate brothers, will be pawns for these white niggaz. They have no choice, but to deal drugs because most of them are uneducated and can’t read or write. As stated before, this is not a war on drugs, it’s a war on Black men.

    I don’t agree with the number of Black men that were enslaved during slave days! If you read your REAL ourstory, OVER 20 MILLION BLACK PEOPLE WERE MURDERED during the slave trade. And the MAJORITY of them were BLACK MEN!

    Muslims enslaved us; just as well as christians: negroes should stop taking up for these muslims because these pale muslims hate us, just like these pale christians. FUK RE-LIGION!

    Please read an excerpt from this article: The Past Impacting the Present:

    1. Between 1440 and 1888, an estimated 20 million Black Africans were enslaved because of the transatlantic slave trade;

    2. (The barbarity of the operation – 50% of the 20 million Africans enslaved for the transatlantic slave trade died within two years of capture (0.9 million died at slaving ports on the African coast; 2.5 million died during the transatlantic voyage; 6.6 million died whilst being ‘broken in’ at ‘seasoning camps’ designed to prepare slaves for plantation life). A further 10 million Africans died in wars fought between African kingdoms as they vied to enslave each other’s populations in order to satisfy demand created by the transatlantic slave trade and, in so doing, increase their own wealth and power.

    It is worth noting at this point that, from the 9th to the 19th centuries, the Arab-Islamic slave trade robbed Africa of an estimated 17 million people (9 million via the trans-Saharan caravan route; 4 million via the Red Sea; 4 million via the Swahili ports in East Africa).

    Let’s do the math: 20 million + 17 million = 37 million ENSLAVED AFRIKANS WHO DIED! NEWSFUN, get your numbers correct because more Black men were ENSLAVED and died from slavery; than being incarcerated today!

    SLAVERY WAS AND STILL IS BIG BUSINESS HERE IN RACIST amerikkka!

    The most unpopular post here!

    Maybe the aspect of this we could control is stop having orphan/bastard/illegitimate children who are more likely to be poor, under educated, more likely to drop out, more likely to comment crime, more likely to have mental problems…is it rocket science?

    70 percent of inmates in state juvenile detention centers serving long-term sentences were raised by single mothers.

    A 1990 study by the Progressive Policy Institute showed that after controlling for single motherhood, the difference between black and white crime rates disappeared.

    children from single-parent families account for 63 percent of all youth suicides, 70 percent of all teenage pregnancies, 71 percent of all adolescent chemical/substance abuse, 80 percent of all prison inmates, and 90 percent of all homeless and runaway children.

    A study cited in the Village Voice produced similar numbers. It found that children brought up in single-mother homes ‘are five times more likely to commit suicide, nine times more likely to drop out of high school, 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances, 14 times more likely to commit rape (for the boys), 20 times more likely to end up in prison, and 32 times more likely to run away from home.

    So with that to you people who purposely choose to have sex without a condom with every random fool you think is “cute” and have kids out of wed lock 1, 2, 3, 4 or more you are the most self centered egomaniac son/daughter of a b@#$% on earth, the moment you decided to do this you decided to be a horrible parent before the child even became a fetus! Or you are just plain ol stupid, retarded and moronic, which ever of the two you should not even have children you child abuser. If you have one fatherless child then stop, if you are so sexually addicted that you can not control your self then get a shot or get something clipped. To you who have 2, 3 ,4 ,5 kids that are illegitimate you are a stone cold selfish dumb ass, when will you grow up and stop the madness?

    If a pregnant woman smokes or drinks, we blame her. But if a woman decides to have a fatherless child, we praise her as brave — even though the outcome for the child is much worse.

    According to the Progressive Policy Institute — have shown that controlling for factors such as poverty and socioeconomic status, single motherhood accounts for the entire difference in black and white crime rates.according to

    The strongest predictor of whether a person will end up in prison is that he was raised by a single parent.

    Eighty-five percent of prisoners, 78% of high school dropouts

    According to the National Center for Health Statistics, a child living with his/her divorced mother, compared to a child living with both parents, is “375% more likely to need professional treatment for emotional or behavioral problems and is almost twice as likely to repeat a grade of school, is more likely to suffer chronic asthma, frequent headaches, and/or bedwetting, develop a stammer or speech defect, suffer from anxiety or depression, and be diagnosed as hyperactive.”

    Blacks as a whole are still in Slavery…just without the bondage…

    this is nothing new…white will continue to do with us…what they want…as long as negros consider them their “saviors”…

    the day the Black man learns to think for himself, take action instead of spending 85% of his time on his knees…and learn the true “currency” in this country, learn self reliance…

    What’s so special about this? There are millions more black men in the country now than there were in the 1800s, when they were only in a few states. It’s safe to assume that with the hefty increase in blackmen roaming the nation, the amount in prison would increase as well. I would assume there are far more white men in prison now than in the 1850′s also.

    The U.S. Now have 300 Million people, so every category and ethnicity has more people incarcerated now than during the 1850s. Perhaps the headline should have reflected how badly the laws are tailored so that more blacks and poor people end up in jail.

    Dear Friends and Family, I got my website up and running!!! The purpose is to he…lp my extended family that is currently doing prison time. Its called …..”freeyardGoREALaz.com” I need support from everybody to make my effort work. My goal is to help those incarcerated meet new people outside of the WALLS! I need to get it out. If you are a rapper, I ask that you mention freeyardGoREALaz.com in your music. For everybody else, I need you to check me out. Tell your friends to tell they friends! It is similar to a myspace/facebook. FREE TO ALL! I will create profiles for those that provide me with their information. If you know a incarcerated person that would like to meet new people. Have them submit up to 6 pictures and personal information to:
    TaTTed Up Ent.
    c/o freeyardGoREALaz.com
    P.O Box 11753
    Kansas City, Mo 64138
    Then I put them on the web. Now they are able to meet people from Florida to Alaska. This might be free to those incarcerated, but I am paying for this out of my pocket. More like an investment. So in order for me to make my money back. I need my Friends & Family to support the cause. I will be selling Yard GoREALaz t-shirts $15 a piece on my site here in a minute!!!

    In 2011, we as a people know that cops are crooked. Knowing this information, we should know to stay out of trouble. These companies will not hire any African American with a history unless they know someone in that company. I try my best to tell young black males to stay out of trouble. Trying to impress your guys will not get you ahead in today’s society. I don’t blame the White man for our troubles, I blame ourselfs. I challenge all of us to talk to our youth about peer pressure and staying focus on bettering them as well as ourselfs.

    Kudos to Michelle Alexander for bringing out the modern day Jim Crow system in America. Her book reveals the continued racism against African Americans, especially Black men. Much of her work has been obvious to many but she has formally publicized America’s racist attitudes to keep it’s foot on the neck of Black people. We need more of this kind of exposure.

    When will negroes stop believing EVERYTHING these caucasoids print. They NEVER put negative shyt in articles about themselves, and simple minded negroes, are so brainwashed to rely on these ignorant caucasoid’s lies! I guess negroes forget that caucasoid children are fatherless, motherless, commit crimes, on drugs, and have health problems too! The MAJORITY of caucasoid children AND ADULTS, take some form of drugs or pills to cope with society.

    My son is not one of the so-called 375% stats to need professional treatment. He’s a senior in college, has a job, owns a car, has a nice young lady, NEVER been in jail, always mannerable, played basketball in high school, tutors children, loves math, not a thug/sagger, respects his elders, and respects himself.

    It is sad to here it being that we are the only ones to blame for our problems. When we buy into that we are defeated before we make it out the gate. While it is true that there are some things we can do to over come some of our problems we must realize that there are barriers in place that need to be removed (by others) in order to complete the journey. The phrase, “we are a product of our society” is a powerful statement because the society we live in still has obstacles and traps in place. Many of those traps has already been strong. When you have people who were denied education, opportunity and resources you have people with nothing to pass on. People who benefited from the suppression and oppression their ancestors imposed upon a race of people do owe us something!! If we do not recognize that. If we no not demand that. If we do not fight for that which was denied us. What was taken from us. we will never over come the problems that we face everyday in our lives.

We got where we are riding on their backs. We lived in caves why the blacks built impressive cities all over the world. They built the pyramids and they could even fly using mind power! They taught white cave monsters to speak and wear clothes and farm!

    We need to put them in charge of everything and if they want payment for our crimes, we should give it. If they want to rape us or kill us, we deserve it.

    Raping and killing is the favorite sport of the superior black race. Whites better realize that they will one day take over everything as they breed up in number. Then the world will be ruled the right way, with death and destruction everywhere!

I have been unemployed now for five months and I have a BA degree, management experience, and have own my own company. This is 2011 and Jim Crow behavior should not exist at all.

    I am a pure product of our justice system. To give a brief preview of my situation. I was convicted and sent to prison for 36 months for MDMA trafficking in the state of FL. I was not a drug dealer, I had never sold any drugs and even the DEA agent told the judge that they had never bought any drugs from me. They also charge me with conspiracy to traffic. What I did do was introduce certain people to certain people. Thats it. I did not instigate the transaction. I was a college student at the time and had a full time job. Next thing I know these guys are trying to buy large amounts of a controlled substance. The whole thing was about using me to get to the big fish. Well I went to prison and as of March 27, 2011; I am still locked up. Like right now but I get out Aug 28 2011 from Work Release. F**k this p***y system.

Oh I know why you all fear us, is it because you know we are the true and rightful rulers of this planet, and when you all set out on your conquer the world mission, you came to a hault when you arrived in Africa, because you never knew real power until you meet a race of people that was bigger, stronger, faster, smarter (yes very intellegent) and to your puny race, impossible to slay. So, by that being said, you had to enslave us, to know our secrets. the how, where, who, and why? But so what we taught you simple math, so what we taught you astrology, so what we taught you science. The fact remains that your fore-fathers knew the only way to conquer the world was destroy us, because yall know the true meaning and true identy of who we really our. So you have destroyed our heritage with drugs, and alchohol hoping we would forget and go against each other and destroy our selve. Queit frankly I think you all did a good job.

    Whether you want to consider it “THE NEW JIM CROW SYSTEM” or a form of “NEOSLAVERY”, the Criminal justice System and it’s affiliate (The Prison system) is definitely aiding and abetting this Racist Socioeconomic System in it’s attempt to oppress and suppress the Black Race perse’.

    I was one of the lucky ones that had two parents married in the same home that instilled in me the value of getting an education, going to college getting a degree, & becoming a productive member of society, so I have done well for myself, but many of our people don’t, & when you look at many of our young people it scares me to think what kind of future they will have, especially in this changing America, where in the furture you are going to have to have some sort of higher ed, or learn some skill just to have a decent life, skills that many of our people will not have have. We used to uplift each other & try to bring us all up but this mentality has changed for some. I don’t know how you fix this, as you can’t make people be right, do right & be responsible.

    Great commentary here, I have read almost every comment posted and I am proud that this type of dialogue is happening. I think the overall consensus would be that if there was a lion in the street and you had NO idea and were eaten, we would and should feel sorry for you. But if you are at the zoo and see the sign that says DON’T JUMP THIS FENCE, and you do it anyway, it’s on you and I have minimal sympathy for your predicament. I do not FEAR the lion, but I respect his ability to make me his lunch. I think there are a number of incarcerated black men who got there for the same reason I get up and go to work every day.

    The problem here is that in MOST cases, we must hop the fence in order to EAT, or even worse, feed our families. So drawing from my OWN experiences, there is a self sacrifice in the gamble to become a hustler. Not only do you have to juggle droughts, police, and your own people; but your own fear of becoming a statistic. I would compare hustling to share cropping (what a play on words, huh) in that MOST street dealers make about the same amount of money that a bank teller would make, when compared to the ceo of Chase, when compared to how much those who bring the stuff in this country have been making for decades now.

    If you think a bunch of South Americans are sneaking enough drugs to supply a country 4 or 5 times its size, you need to get your head examined. The DEA, CIA, and a host of other alphabet soup organizations being supported financially by OUR GOVERNMENT, are the ones making a lion share of the profits on both sides of the spectrum. They import the drugs and lock us up for having them. They are all a pieces of the puzzle that is MODERN DAY SLAVERY.

    In conclusion, just because we should take responsibility for our own actions, doesn’t mean that we are the guilty party. We can’t put all the blame on the whites, and we can’t put all the blame on ourselves. We have to save our generation one child at a time.

    Funny how some Negroes say the white man is not the blame,the fact is that he is the cause of the oppression of and genocide of Black people here and abroad.We have failed to take the responsibilty of our actions of not studying the enemy,and have become complacent ,they won the revolt in the 60′s,all the leaders who tried were murderd,went into exile,very few survived the onslought of the beast.I will to this day will never forget like it was yesterday how they wiped out an entire generation in the 60′s of the cream of the crop of our people,now decades later you can hardly meet in this generation one who is conscious of or have any pride and respect for their race.The women are worse,the masses of them are dumbed down wimpy bimbos,no resistance on their part,the most of them hate the Black man,and themselves,alwaydefending the actions of this foreign race of aliens.They love him in power because he lets them do as they please,and they don’t have to answer to no man.I feel good to see an articulate and intelligent Black women like this laying down the facts,she is very rare indeed,if the masses of women were like her,we would be a powerful race.

    This is really devastating. We can blame this person or that reason for why black men seem to dominate the prisons population wise but, do you black people know what difference three million men with white or blue collar jobs in society would make? Just off the top, stable and happy families. And stable and happy families would bring about a stable and happy society. Let’s educate ourselves if at all anything

    the one shocking thing i heard coming from misguided young black men and some old ones as well and that is glamorization of prison life,, that s**t got’s to stop for aint nothing glamorist about being there,,, in that case we might has well stayed on the plantation…if that part of the mentality would decease iam sure it would lower the black population a great deal…secondly we don’t have a truely grass root leadership to take hold of our men for we all seem to be fansyed by silly things and not nation building for us…even thd drug life thing, we don’t seem to know to make our community benefit from it,,,,the kennedys and others like them made damn sure their kids and communtiy did benefit ,, hell they even had a son who became president “DAMN” all we see most of them so-called big time pushers get a fancy car to chaufer some white ho’ or buy lots of guns to kill each other ,, as far as helping the community ha! so those of us who do work end up paying taxes to feed these bas asses in jail and when they get out of prison are just as broke as before they got into that sence,,,,maybe if the brothers would not go into that world but believe in themselves and not that bs they see on tv about gangsters, you would see less of them in jail….

Come on SON!!!

    An Antelope cannot expect a lion to stop hunting and eating it… Rather than the Antelope crying about how many of its kind are eaten by lions and how lions are conspiring to eliminate them and crying for fairness from lions, THE ANTELOPES NEED TO BE BANDING TOGETHER, HOLDING MEETINGS DISCUSSING AND COMING UP WITH A PLAN TO FIGHT AND ELIMINATE THE LIONS…

    “Most of that increase is due to the War on Drugs, a war waged almost exclusively in poor communities of color,” she said, even though studies have shown that whites use and sell illegal drugs at rates equal to or above blacks. In some black inner-city communities, four of five black youth can expect to be caught up in the criminal justice system during their lifetimes.

    Various guns and drugs just don’t fall out of the sky….Someone is doing the distribution of this stuff in order for the youngsters and young adults to get it…out in the streets….And you can belief that their not black people….

    Even more the Media showing on TV, how all of the WHITE PEOPLE…….. hid out in the woods having shooting targets…… as if their getting ready to kill black people and others they claim to not like…..These… …NUTTS ……are recruiting and growing in number says the NEWS MEDIA….So how do these nutts get ahold of all these HIGH POWER GUNS AND EXTRAS…

    But WHITE PEOPLE have the nerve to want to talk their mess about other races.

    Black people now a days, threw it all away on being ignorant. The black people of today are weak minded and incapable of standing up for anything like their grandparents and parents did……Its a shame but thats seem to be the way it is.

    What is so interesting to me is how the News Media talk about how Mexicans, and others are growing in population as to say they are keeping tabs on how many other races are growing in numbers.

    They never mentions the growth of …….WHITE PEOPLE ……..in numbers and how much b/s they get away with now and over the past years…..Then they channel their energy towards black and mexicans 24/7…to make these races look as if their the bad spawn of …SOCIETY…

    When White are the most EVIL of them all …They have did the most trifflin mess over the years to Blacks and now Mexicans and still getting away with their b/s..that they pull off and get away with it constantly…….So when whites sit and talk their bull ….they always has been full of shyt.

    Its a fact Minorities go ,to jail. Part of the problem is some people don’t finish school,which leads not getting a real job & getting caught up in street dramas and getting arrested. One thing that’s also a big factor is REAL(A real lawyer can do wonders!) legal representation and knowing your rights. I have witnessed plenty of arrest & have yet to see or hear the police tell the person they arrested their Miranda rights. The simple act of keeping your mouth SHUT can do wonders sometimes. Some people do stupid stuff & blame everybody else for the drama. Don’t run a red light then get upset when the police pull you over, then the police smell weed in the car,you have a warrant etc…….The system is set up to suck you in but its your choice. Going to jail is not mandatory for people of color!

    When we as a whole need educate ourselves and take it serious, knowledge is power. Our men are our black womens worst enemy at this time, when we have high crime rates and single mothers raising their boys which contributes to all this. The vast majority of men locked up are blacks also with high out there drug useage made visible and evident. Unlike other races they tend to hide it better then we do, but it’s there in all races we just need more discipline, concern and also leave the ghetto mentaility alone the slaves were better off then we are now!

    Harry Blackman left out the part that there is a lot of violence associated with drug sales in the inner city. The war was waged because of the high violence and Harry Blackman knows that. I think Harry Blackman should come up with ways drug sales and violence is removed from our neighborhood and ways to promote the benefits of a good education to our youth. We have to teach our youth that it is important to live within your means, spend wisely, and build credit. We have to get them away from the “blow money fast” frame of mind.

    Most Black men need to start conducting themselves the right way, and the ones im talkin about, are on the streets, hustlin, going to the pen, and get right back out to do the same sh**, one thing I learned about blk men like that is that they want to feel superior, they want to be a king and have everything they need and want. some want to change, some are scared of change, and some are jus plain ignorant, another ones excuse is its the white folks holding black men, get education, be somethin u always dreamed of, work for yourself, but the right way, and still make money. Black folks general are being stereotyped by the actions and decisions we make, not only that but hispanics ant other ethnics. We always say so what people if people think this way or that way, but how do you thing its going to make your minority look, and think about the newer generation, that are jus learning its up to us and yourself to make a change.

    Saying that there are more Black Men in jail than in Slavery, is like saying their are more Black Men in College, than there were in Slavery.

    See how those stats can be used to be negative or positive?

    Actually dispite what the Media may try to get you to believe, but there are more Black Men in College, than in Jail.

    NAACP is full of S**ty corrupt greedy ass f**kers. They make these stats up to make a buck.

    Hey if you Black people dont believe you can be Erased,,,,, just look at your South America Hispanic Friends. Thats right Blacks!!!, Most of those Hispanics you see, are a race of Bi-racial Negro/European/Native American all together.

    Please people look things up Jail is the only place where Slavery is legal.

    All a person would have to do is count every black person entering the penal system. No matter if they are African American, Nigerian American, Ghanain American, Cameroonian American, Haitian American, etc… we all check that box that says black.

    SMH… I was just thinking about this very same subject a few days ago. Bottomline ,black men need to step it up. Before the hate mail begins not all black men fall into this category, however, black women are constantly begin put down and insulted for being “go getters”, going after their education and money when this trait applies to pretty much all other races and genders. Why should black men be the exception. The late 50′s, 60′s and 70′s were racially charged years , but black men were on top of their game then. The sky was the limit, nothing could hold them back. My grandfather, father,stepfather and uncles were and are proof this. Truthfully, there are a lot of black men today who have not and will not apply their talents, mind and skills to anything that requires working hard for success. Being a “rapper” or ” ball player” shouldn’t be the only money making options they have nor should this be their main goal.They need a “plan B,C & D”. Society needs African American male teachers,police , fire figthers, correctional officer, doctors, hell working for the city collecting garbage is respectable not to mention it pays the damn bills. Some black men are still blaming the “white man” and “the system” for their woes and it’s not only old…. it’s an excuse. The first step is making right decisions. Stop following your so called “friends or boys” who do nothing but stay in trouble. Get your mind right. Disassociate yourself and focus on your life. Black women are constantly “beat up on” because (we) choose and want success. We get ridiculed for being single and childless well into our 40′s , working 2 or 3 jobs, and for not having a “man”. The name of the game is survival and truthfully brothers need to take note.

    youpi world record. What happenz now????

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rhallisw/ rhallisw

    LOL,Yeah Right!!!! Let’s look at this mathematically!

    In 1850, there were over 4 million slaves and that’s not counting the 800,000 in the Union States. Plus in 1850 there was a Fugitive Slave Law that captured and returned runaway slaves back to their owners. By 1850, the slave population was steady. Civil War ended in 1865 and even at the end of the war and the Emancipation, only 500,00 slaves were freed initially. The rest of the slaves weren’t freed until almost two years later. So by 1855, the total black slave population is estimated at still being a whopping 3,375,000 slaves. That’s 3 million people. In 1850 there were only 119 FREED slaves, according to the U.S. Census 1850-55 Bedford Almanac.

    The TOTAL U.S. prison population today (blacks, whites, Hispanic, Asians, and other) is 2,224,279, TOTAL! The total number of blacks in prison is barely over 846,000.

    So the notion that there are more blacks in prison today than there were slaves in 1850 is utter garbage! Apparently, someone can’t count! And NewsOne runs with these stories without even using common sense and basic math. Last I checked, 3,375,000 is a larger number than 846,00. Just because a black person gives us this data doesn’t make it true. Check for yourself.

    TO SEXKITTEN48

    I HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH SOME OF THE POINTS YOU MADE. IT IS NOT A CURSE TO BE POOR AND BLACK. THIS IS BY DESIGN. WE CAN CHANGE OUR SITUATION BUT, WE AS A PEOPLE ARE NOT UNITED. IF WE BECOME POWERFUL FROM A SPIRITUAL STANDPOINT WE CAN CHANGE OUR WHOLE SITUATION IN THE US. WE SHOULD OWN EVERY BUSINESS IN OUR COMMUNITIES-LIKE THE JEWS! THERE ARE MANY BLACK MEN WHO DO TRY TO CHANGE THEIR LIVES AND DO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES! BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

    THE BLACK MAN WILL NEVER BECOME EXTINCT! YOU SOUND SO PESSIMISTIC! YOU SAY IT’S OUR OWN FAULT!? NOT COMPLETELY TRUE. BLACK MEN & WOMEN HAVE BEEN UNDER ATTACK SINCE WE’VE BEEN HERE. DID YOU READ THE WILLIE LYNCH PAPERS? BLACK MEN & WOMEN DON’T SUPPORT EACH OTHER AS WE SHOULD. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP CHANGE THIS? WHAT AM I DOING? WHAT IS THE BLACK COMMUNITY DOING TO STOP THIS? THIS HAS TO BE A COLLECTIVE EFFORT! IF THE BLACK MAN BECOMES EXTINCT SO WILL THE BLACK WOMAN!

    DO YOU KNOW PART OF THE REASON WHY THERE ARE SO MANY SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLDS IN OUR COMMUNITIES?

    IT STARTED YEARS AGO WHEN MANY STATES BECAME WELFARE STATES-LIKE OHIO WHERE I’M FROM. THEY SAID YOU BLACK WOMEN CAN HAVE THESE BENEFITS BUT, THAT BLACK MAN CAN’T BE IN THE HOME. THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF BREAKING UP THE BLACK FAMILY. WE HAVEN’T TOTALLY RECOVERED FROM THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF SLAVERY. THIS AND MANY OTHER REASONS WHY WE ARE IN THIS SITUATION. EDUCATION ALONE ISN’T ENOUGH. BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO PUT GOD FIRST! WE ACT LIKE WE FORGOT HOW GREAT WE ARE! OUR HISTORY ISN’T TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS! WE STARTED CIVILIZATION & AMERICA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY BUILT OF AFRICAN PRINCIPLES! READ THE BROWDER FILES BY ANTHONY T. BROWDER.

    LASTLY, THAT COMMENT YOU MADE THAT IF IT WAS ILLEGAL FOR THESE BLACK MEN IN PRISON TO GET AN EDUCATION, TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES…ETC., WAS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS! THAT DOESN’T EVEN MAKE SINCE! YOU ARE IMPLYING THAT BLACK MEN ARE CRIMINAL BY NATURE! WE ALL KNOW THAT’S NOT TRUE AT ALL! YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY AND WHAT KIND OF IMPACT IT WILL HAVE, ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU ARE A BLACK WOMAN!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rhallisw/ rhallisw

    To Blacknanana

    I have to disagree with some points YOU made. Overall, you are 100% right on a few things but I see there’s a trend going on, especially on this site. It seems to me that whenever we want to place blame we pull the Willie Lynch card. Let me tell you about the Willie Lynch papers. They aren’t real! Supposedly, it was a speech given by a slave owner named Willie Lynch which gave a detailed description of slave control. It’s more urban legend than authentic my man. It’s a popular myth but even black historians have said that it is not real and it was, “made up.” The terminology of the letters reflects 20th century dialog, not 1712. Even Spelman College admits that the Willie Lynch papers is a hoax!! The truth is that the speech is said to have been given in 1712, but Willie Lynch wasn’t born until 1742. The hoax was created by Edgar Allen Poe and the word “Lynch” actually came from Charles Lynch in 1836 who was a militia commander in the American Revolutionary War. Black folks need to do some careful research and just stop accepting everything we read and hear – especially this lie that that there are more blacks in prison today than slaves in 1850. Check the 1850 Census like I did and you will find that it’s simply a lie! Slave owners listed all of their slaves and by 1850, there were way under a million slaves in the U.S.

    As for Welfare states and not allowing the black man to stay in the home if the black woman is on Welfare, that’s not a black law. A white woman who receives Welfare can’t have a white man living with her either, nor any man no matter what color. And according to U.S. Stats, there are more whites on Welfare than blacks. Is Welfare responsible for the break up of white families too? Of course not, so to say that Welfare is responsible for dysfunctional black families is complete nonsense. To say that we have not fully recovered from the negative aspects of slavery may be true to an extent but that’s not to say that we have not had ample enough time to pull ourselves from that state of mind. We have had plenty of time. On a whole, we have become lazy, complacent, self absorbed, self entitled, spoiled, egotistical, resentful, angry, self victimized, blameful, shameful, deceitful, unprepared, unwilling, uneducated, unequipped and neither have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out. Our solution? To blame a fictitious character named Willie Lynch who’s mysterious “letters” did not even surface until 1970. We need to start holding ourselves accountable. Not slavery, not white people, not Willie Lynch, but US!

    Everything else you said was right on point.

    @ Toni Anthony

    Right! I find it pointless arguing with black people on the Internet regarding a great many issues. I have since then made my peace with a couple of people in here who at times have trolled this site “baiting, inciting, luring,” people to attend their self pity and blame whitey Internet party where they point the finger at whitey for EVERYTHING from the roota to the toota. And honestly, it’s ridiculous. You’d think that in 2011, some 400 years after bondage, 400 years – that would be ample amount of time to rid our reality of the negative. The Jews did it in less than 43 years and now every key player in the game of life from the Trilateral Commission to the FTC is a Zionist. We use the fraudulent yet ridiculous belief that it’s psychological as a safety net to hide our own social glitches. If our state of existence was indeed psychological, we would not be able to recognize it. Especially to the point of acknowledging it. This is not an AA meeting. Psychological conditioning is hidden. Isn’t that the point of psychological conditioning, to not recognize the conditioning? It reminds me of the scene in the film ‘Chameleon Street’ when one black man is explaining to another black man why he loves white women and he attributes (or rather blames) his love for white women on the white man by saying;

    “I’m a victim brother. I’m a victim of 400 years of conditioning. The man has programmed my conditioning. Even my conditioning has been conditioned!”

    Sounds like a valid argument but the truth is that the very fact that he recognizes the conditioning automatically breaks him from that conditioning because his acknowledgment of it now gives him free will. Free will is possible ONLY if you have a choice between ‘this or that.’ Black people now have choices. We have the choice to work or not work, we have a choice to gang bang or not gang bang, we have a choice to listen to Cornell West or Waka Flocka. We are not as “conditioned” as we pretend to be. We are not as victimized as we would claim to be. We are not so unaccountable as we would like to be. In fact, we are so far removed from the Willie Lynch hoax that it’s irrelevant. Whitey is irrelevant. We do a damn good job messing this up for ourselves and with little help from anyone, much less white folks. The things we whine and moan about are so minuscule compared to what our ancestors endured that they’d be ashamed of us crying over issues like ‘Why woman-beater Chris Brown isn’t treated like Prostitute beater Charlie Sheen?’ I’m sure that would make Sojourner Truth proud. We’ve come so far – yet gone nowhere!

    Considering theres close to 1 875,000 black men locked up today, I dont see how this article is true when more that 32 million slaves were shipped to America. I do however think this is a thought provoking topic as prison is part of being enslaved. The prison industry is part of big business and blackmen is its main import. The prison economy is making more than $37 billion and as long as prisons continue to make money from cheap to the various products and companies that invest, blackmen will always be a target. Check out this article some interesting reading.

    As long as we continue to stand on the corner instead of sitting in someone college classroom, listen to that ignorant role model(hustler pimp w***e) instead of the positive role model (professor, truck driver, honest police officer)and continue to complain about our situation instead of actually doing what it takes to change our situation we as a people will never advance and have anything that we can truly call our own. We are in control of our own destiny and our future generations destiny begins with the small but crucial changes we set in place today. And belive me its deeper than just watching our babies dance to a young jeezy stripper made video. We have to give (i mean show) these children that there are other options. Not all balck women have to be strippers and stay at home mothers, the majority can be doctors, professors, lawyers or whatever. The same thing goes for the black man. We have options people lots of them, the world is bigger than our neighborhood or city. There are many avenues that we as a people can use to better ourselves and better our culture as a whole. All we have to do is research it, keep a clean record and go for it!!!!!!!357

    You hit the nail on the head. 1. This article nor is the theory (because that’s what it really is) that there are more blacks in prison today than there were slaves in 1850 is NOT true and to believe that is insanity. There are currently 846,000 black people in prison in this country today and in 1850 there were over 3,375,000 black slaves in this country. Anyone can find this information and I’m more amazed at the people in here who comment and (without question) accept the theory. Black people I guess rather not own up to concrete facts. We live in a generation of conjecture. Generation Blame!

    Prison is a multi billion dollar industry. Prison is a corporation and all corporations has “assets” and commodities. As long as there is a supply, there will always be commodities. This country doesn’t build prisons because so many criminals need to be housed. This country builds prisons to fill it, because it’s lucrative.

    But it’s difficult to convince black people that we do control our own destiny. We are afraid to death of accountability. It’s easier and more comfortable to ride the ‘blame whitey wagon’ for as long as we can. But what you and I said about having choices, that’s almost a foreign concept to black people and if you try to help or uplift or try to convince black folks that we DO have choices, they become angry with you. ANGRY WITH YOU! I once told a younger black man that he had a choice, he could go back to school and get his G.E.D, stop hanging out on the corner in Anacostia (D.C.) all night and he became angry with me! Isn’t that something? He accused me of being an Uncle Tom. He accused me of thinking I was better than him because I got the white man’s education. He said to me that I would not stand out on the corner and do what he do because I was a punk (not because I had a choice not to, but the only reason I wasn’t out there with him was because I was a punk.) He became angry because he thought I looked down on his drug slinging and he said to me – “I don’t have a choice,” while he’s standing there with a brand new North Face jacket on. It’s a strange time we live in. The more I read some of these comments, the more I know it to be fact.

    As a percentage, there’s much fewer black men in prison than were enslaved in the times of slavery. 100% of black people used to be slaves and the number of black people in prisons today I think is in the 20%’s.

    Plus, it’s even worse now for white people. There’s infintely more white people in prisons today than were enslaved. There used to be zero white people enslaved, but now there’s tons of white people in prison. As a percentage increase, this is much higher in white people. It’s an infinite increase.

    rhalisw: Why are so many whites posing as blacks online, interfering in conversations? Part of a satanic scheme, a demonic nature, a shill mentality, perhaps? It is, if you are a black person, the worst form (your sentiments) of acting white. You are an enemy, just like all of those who worship at the feet of white Jesus (Da Vinci’s nephew’s likeness) or put down 40 million people you know nothing about, or judge without understanding; all are traits of acting white; not a good thing. I saw a video on youtube that the government spends 4.8 billion in their Intel pro campaign to send out shills on the Internet. You must be one of them. If you are in fact black in color, you are no different than a white and are probably married to a white, in which case, you are simply a slave, like Larry Elder. FYI, Black people don’t use or anymore remember the word whitey. You are in the wrong forum

    There was NOT 32 million slaves shipped to America! Where do you get your information. It is estimated between 6.5 million and 10 million slaves sold by their own brethen off the African continent. Brazil was the largest reciever of those slaves receiving 35% of them, the Carribean was next with 65% of the slaves being shipped there to the islands of the Spanish, French, Dutch, English, Danish and Swedish held islands. Roughly 500,000 – 5% were shipped to the United States. Quit blaming the US for slavery. It was a world wide practice with the Chieftons, kings, and nobles of Afrcia that were selling them for rum, sugar, Turkish carpets, fish hooks, needles, pins. The chieftons, kings, and nobles made a fortune off of selling their own people the the slave traders. And not only did they sell their own people, but they sold the provisions to the slave traders get the slaves across the Atlantic! Read your history. Plenty of it to back up what I have said. No where ever have I seen 38 million came to America. When the WBTS started, there were only 4 million enslaved people here. Where did the other 34 million go?
