You can cry and scream about 400 years and it won't change a thing. Free your mind. Books are for learning and life is for living. I know who I am and I know about the effects of slavery and Jim Crow. That is a crutch that we can't afford to lean on and make excuses off of anymore. In the words of my favorite line from my favorite movie Glory when Morgan Freeman was speaking to Denzel "It time that we ante up and kick in like men dammit, like men!!!. Being a member of the MANHOOD frat has definitely taught me to be the Master of My Fate and the Captain of My Soul, white man be damned. You are intimating that we are too stupid to break that cycle. As for that GNP thing, check out the website for Jesse Jackson's Wall Street Project

True indeed, those are all reasons why we are more heavily incarcerated, the biggest mitigating factor that those in question are guilty irregardless of the circumstances you outlined. Again, knowing the deck is stacked against you, why chose the easiest and most wrong avenue.
Pretty Petite:
That happens often because many people don't delineate Black folks, we are all Black to them so they don't bother checking.
