Report: One In Three Black Males Will Go To Prison

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


By Black Men In America.com
The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world, dwarfing the rate of nearly every other nation.  One in every three black males born today can expect to go to prison at some point in their life, compared with one in every six Latino males, and one in every seventeen white males, if current incarceration trends continue.These are among a stack of facts cited by The Sentencing Project, a Washington, D.C.-based group that advocates for prison reform, in a report on the staggering racial disparities that permeate the American criminal justice system.

The report was submitted to the U.N. Human Rights Committee this week in advance of the U.N.’s review of American compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights later this month.  It argues that racial disparity pervades “every stage of the United States criminal justice system, from arrest to trial to sentencing.

“Racial minorities are more likely than white Americans to be arrested,” the report explains.  “Once arrested, they are more likely to be convicted; and once convicted, they are more likely to face stiff sentences.”

Roughly 12% of the United States population is black.  Yet in 2011, black Americans constituted 30% of persons arrested for a property offense and 38% of persons arrested for a violent offense.  7 Black youths account for 16% of all children in America yet make up 28% of juvenile arrests.
The report concludes that the U. S. has employed mass incarceration as a convenient answer to inconvenient questions for decades.

In doing so, the U.S. government has glossed over the glaring racial inequalities that permeate every aspect of its criminal
justice system.  The government has both fostered and perpetuated those inequalities in clear violation of its obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights as well as other international agreements.   The overall report is worth reading even if you disagree with the group’s conclusion and findings.  Click here to download the report.

      A British statesman said years ago that, Negroes were white man’s burden.

      True yesterday, true today. They don’t invent or build anything. They don’t farm and the list goes on and on.

      They live off of whites.

      • Omerta

        The war between the states was not fought to free these outdated farm machines. These “people” and the white man’s need for them were made irrevelant by John Deere. Lincoln only made it an issue in 1863 and after the war Liberia was formed to relocate them. It ended with his death. Damn you, JW Booth.

        We kicked the British fomps and their corrupted delusional queen to the gutter when we forged America.
        The British were the new American’s burden. Then and now the white supremacists and other assorted rabid mentally ill mumblers are America’s burden/

      If our justice system was honest it would be 9 of 10. Almost all crimes are committed by blacks and latins but our racist legal system lets most of them go. But if you’re white you get no mercy.

      • Rockerchic4God

        That’s ridiculous! You people have obviously never been to rural Northern California – most of the crime committed here is white trash tweakers!

        • Omerta

          Come over to Atlanta then you Kalifornia fruitard. See some real North American pavement apes, then you will understand that the only hope for the US is to send these “people” back to the African continent, immediately.

        • Mr________

          Here is Omerta, a poster child of a one of the mentally ill mumblers.

          @Omerta

          The government has already done that. They were offered a free trip and money if they went back to Africa. These “Americanized” blacks who were once slaves themselves, went to Liberia, they immediately enslaved the native Liberians by using the same tactics they learned as slaves in America.
          The result of this was an unbelievably violent American colony known as Liberia, home of child soldiers forced to kill their own parents, Kony, cannibalism and more horrors I’d rather forget.

        • King of Shambhala

          Europe has been cleaning Europe out of blacks and Arabs since the Romans.

          It’s been going on for a long time.

          Blacks won’t take over the world: “they wish” though.

      NEWS FLASH!!!!

      There was a black out last night!!!

      Don’t worry. I got em.

    • Solidus1

      Somehow this terrible cycle must be interrupted. One can only imagine how much richer our society would be if these people were contributors. http://coldwarwarrior.com/

      golly gee , it wouldn’t have anything to do with the IQ disparity of blacks and whites , would it ?

      Average black african IQ is 70 (!)

      Average black in the U.S. is 85 ! ( because of miscegenation )

      doubt it ? look it up you moronic bleeding heart liberal dumb a$$es

      • Omerta

        That is the reason employers can no longer sort their employees with IQ test. Instead these “people” are federally mandated to move to the front of the bus. These libtards say I’m racist, but the government tells us everyday that brownies are superior to chalkies based solely on their skin color. And I’m not pointing a gun to change your mind, but the government does.

    • SBM1964

      We need to open a national dialogue on repatriation. They are at war with us and at some point it has to end.
