Neither did I say that all inmates are in prison b/c they committed a crime. I said the majority are in there b/c they did something illegal. I can sympathize with those that are in there for marajuana charges(minor drug in my opinion)or falsely accussed of rape charges, but the ones in their for crack cocaine not so much. And just b/c they're in prison for non violent offenses(like dealing crack cocaine, herion) doesn't mean they wouldnt pull a trigger on someone if it came down to protecting their trade. Do you know the reason for a lot of gang/drug violence is b/c of gangs fighting over blocks, corners, or building to sell their drugs? Just look at what was happening in the 80s and 90s. Chicago is known for gang violence and many of the gang members here are also drug dealers.I'm certain you're right about Louisiana being very unfair to blacks, but the state also has one of the most violent cities in the states, New Orleans.
when u look at the BIG picture, black crime is largely an ECONOMIC ISSUE.
when you remove employment that pays a living wage, and make sure the schools are substandard and then your own government brings crack cocaine and assault weapons into an impoverished community,
and creates mandatory sentencing for non-violence drug offenses (aimed at blacks), and lock up black children for petty offenses, the end result is predictable: VIOLENT COMMUNITIES and FAMILY BREAKDOWNs
New Orleans is one of the most RACIST cities in the U.S. You can't tear people down and expect rose gardens.
the white supremacists deliberately created this system, they are social engineering crime
don't forget -- the FIRST drive-by shootings and organized crime families were lower caste Europeans (Italians, Irish) who who were discriminated against by the WASP (white anglo saxon protestant elites)
and thus the FIRST street gangs and urban slums were born...
after a hundred years, if we don't believe they know how to create crime-ridden communities (or prevent them), then we are seriously kidding ourselves...

many black folks are bodies with a white brain, simply repeating what they've been told and what they think WHITE PEOPLE want them to believe. There can't be any other excuse for a black person to be surrounded by racism and say "race doesn't matter."
It's a form of mentacide, insanity, and denial.
bottom line, in a white supremacy system, like America, RACE ALWAYS MATTERS.
it matters more than money (ask Bill Cosby when he wanted to buy a TV network)
It damn sure matters when you go to get a job in a bad economy, which many good blacks are finding out about FIRST HAND
Stay on point and let the self-deceivers and delusional believe what they want to believe. They are fools, yes, fools.
But their denial won't last much long. Reality -- in the form of a fast, reverse-spinning civil rights clock -- will make our black reality in America undeniably crystal clear.

Great observations and analysis, but on the real .. in the real world, and hell even on television, how many BLACK PEOPLE do you see saying this that race doesn't matter. The words "post racial" are generally, from my observation, coming from the right wing with their rhetoric -- and I have seen a couple of news talk shows (mainly white) speak on this post racial BS.
I have not seen ONE BLACK, high profile person promote this lunacy. Maybe I'm not watching the right channels or reading the right papers. But I honestly don't see BLACK PEOPLE running around saying, or buying off on the fact that race does not matter.
BTW -- miss you around these parts.

Sis, i blog on BP (can't spell it out here but it's the "other" black website) ..and i've been told I was one of the most despised bloggers on BP,
but like i tell folk, this ain't a popularity contest, I'm here to learn from other folk and to provoke thought because the way we think as a race is jacked up.
because if it was working, we wouldn't be slip-sliding back into the 1960s poverty and unemployment and discrimination, would we?
(some) black folk are scared to think outside the box called "white think" and don't want to go down on record with saying anything that is not part of their programming or does not please white folk
u should check out this book, "Trojan Horse: Death of a Dark Nation"
which can be found on amazon

you're right, the term "post-racial" definitely came from the deceitful and racist right wing
however, black folk are parroting this term, too, because they've said it to me and beat me over the head, calling me "racist" for even bringing up racism (sic)
I believe those hi-profile blacks don't say it because MOST are pimping black suffering and white racism, so if they don't cry "racism" on a regular basis how can they fund their "Action Networks" and send their kids to an Ivy League white college ?
Personally, I have NO USE for 90% of showcase blacks, because they are all sound and fury, signifying NOTHING the black masses can use or benefit from
I miss my BV family, but BV was getting a little too hostile for my taste, so I shifted over to BP
check me out over there
B = black
P = planet

Sometimes people do not see unity because some people are always looking at the bad believing the stereotyping that is drum out day and night, 24/7, 365 by the media. Do anyone remember the civil rights movement. If there was not unity, then who was it marching for civil rights. Having their homes and churches burn to the ground,fire hoses turn on them, dogs sic on them. How did all those black men show up in Washington at the million man march if there is no unity. That is not to over look the smaller groups of people of civic groups and churches who have sponsored community projects. Giving out scholarships to children. Helping the elderly and children. When someone say there is no unity among blacks, you look around for yourself and you too will see how wrong they are.

uh..brotha, learning a foreign language is NOWHERE near the same as IR dating...your analogy is way off
so, in your "analysis" you let BM -- the missing fathers -- completely off the hook? The missing BM are innocent participants and the BW are the villains?
This is exactly why I'm posting what i post. The BW and BM are like two prisoners in the concentration camp of racism and oppression, blaming the other prisoners (each other) instead of blaming the WARDEN and the court systems that unjustly locked them up.
These bad black women you speak of ALSO have childhoods filled with abuse by US BLACK MEN -- as MISSING, SEXUALLY PREDATORY, ABUSIVE, AND NEGLIGENCE FATHERS and MEN. I grew up in the heart of the inner city, brotha, and I WATCHED the way grown azz BM would prey against young black females -- including young black GIRLS under the age of 13, and I had to watch out for my younger female siblings when adult BM came around, brotha...
Bottom line
It is up to US BLACK MEN to teach our black daughters what a REAL MAN looks like, talks like, walks like because WE GIVE THEM their FIRST real taste of BM validation and love. For every crazy BW i have EVER known, I can find a missing or abusive father or some event early in life where they were severely abused romantically by a BM...
We haven't DONE OUR JOBS, and for you to put BW on blast, without holding us BM equally accountable, is exactly WHY BM and BW need to come together and WORK OUT OUR PROBLEMS that were caused by 500 years of pyschological slaughter under the system of slavery and racism/white supremacy.
There is NO ROOM in this dynamic for IR relationships. All they do is DIVIDE and CONQUER US, which is exactly why they are promoted by the white media/entertainment industry...
It is amazing that with BM being shot down in the streets like dogs, by cops AND each other (BW ain't the ones killing us), for BM to have the HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE in the nation -- even higher than illegal immigrants (!), for our black communities to look like war zones (because of US), for BM to have to go to men of every other race for a job, a pair of shoes, or a can of soda because WE don't have black businesses, for one out of 4 BM to either be locked up or have served time (BW don't run the court or penal systems) -- it is absolutely AMAZING that ANY BM would spend ANY TIME blaming BW for our collective condition.
The black community has been under attack from the day we stepped off those slave ships (and even those who didn't) and for us to NOT see that BONDING ROMANTICALLY with the SAME PEOPLE who oppressed us then and continue to victimize and oppress is is PSYCHOLOGICAL INSANITY. Point blank period. And if we continue to ignore this fact, we will face a very dismal future in the coming days in America...
It's time, brotha, to face up to the FACT that WE have NOT provided stable families OR communities for our black girls to grow up as healthy, well-adjusted women, wives and mothers. We have to take some responsibility for their condition, would you not agree?

damn, catgut04...
maybe YOU should be teaching a class (no kidding)
because you're a THINKING MAN you peeped the game
i had a friend of mine tell a similar story,
his daughter (who is black) and her husband (who is a light-skinned black) had a baby at a local hospital. The baby came out very light, looking i guess like a white baby would look.
So, the hospital put "white" on the baby's birth certificate even though they knew (or should have known) that both parents were black. This couple had to FIGHT with the hospital to get them to change it so obviously it was done on purpose...
The powers that be know the white birth rate is declining and are using every trick in the book to achieve whatever objectives they have in falsifying the numbers...
seriously, I hope you read the book.
the only real power (and HOPE) for the white AND black masses is KNOWLEDGE
we don't understand that WE are not each other's enemy
(i know I ain't exported nobody's job, ripped off nobody's pension fund, OR foreclosured on nobody's home and I doubt that you have, either)
but they use US against each other -- black against white, male against female --DIVIDE AND CONQUER -- to keep the masses of whites AND blacks enslaved...
(I will check out the book you mentioned, also)

One last thing
for those black folk who say, "Cram, that's why i left the black community cause black folks is jacked up
let me remind you of one thing
you will NOT be welcome in the white community if you don't have a JOB
or any INCOME
or are perceived as a PROBLEM
among white folks who feel they got their OWN PROBLEMS
and often, who think black folks BRING MORE PROBLEMS than they SOLVE
and many assimilated black folks don't get this
and actually think they are PART of the white community because they have a white folk in their beds
and do NOT understand that they will NEVER be accepted ONLY tolerated
and these recently unemployed assimilated black folks will be coming BACK to the communities they abandoned, to live with family members because some black folk will have no choice...

Brother, you are not getting under my skin, i'm the long-winded one...lol
so please, whatever you have to share, feel free. I'm reading so I can learn not just teach...
you're right, if you buck the system, you will be out of a job. Unfortunately, you're right. When people (who happen to be white in this case) benefit from a system of injustice they do NOT want to see that system dismantled.
Yeah, most whites (if they're honest) know white privilege and racism exists but they won't say or do anything because they see racial equality as a losing situation. None of what is happening is happening by accident; it is all BY DESIGN. It is about promoting and extending WHITE SUPREMACY, make no mistake about it.
That is what I oppose, not white people; nor do I oppose white people's God-given rights to live, work, worship, play or learn BUT as long as whites oppose MY rights, the rights of my children, and the rights on non-whites all over the planet, then i will will continue to speak out, write, and fight for those rights.
Unfortunately, your (black) friend thinking he can "assimilate" and beat the game-maker on HIS game board and by his rules is foolhardy. He cannot use what he was TAUGHT to defeat the "man" who holds all the chips, and this black friend will find out that with one stroke of the pen, his game can be OVER.
I don't agree with "if you can't beat them, join them." Hell naw, I know that that's what I've been taught to do. You can beat a corrupt system that has been in place for HUNDREDS OF YEARS by going inside.
They have thousands of eager negroes who get swallowed up and spit out because they underestimate the masterminds of this game. The white supremacists (in charge) are master game players, and masters of mind control and psychology. They know what black folks are thinking because they PROGRAMMED OUR THINKING.
From what I see, the only way to disarm the game (to some extent) is to REFUSE to play it. That means making sacrifices, doing without, and creating OUR OWN GAME BOARD. Is that possible? I don't know, but I suspect the way things are going, we may soon find out...
looking forward to your next response...

it's a d___ shame (and I hate to admit it) but BW seem more interested in this kind of equality than us BM and the ones that do largely remain silent
we have been beaten down for so long, we don't know how to stand up
but i will tell you this, sister, if we do NOT get off our knees the system will cut our legs completely OFF, make no mistake about it
there is NO safety or security in being the slave of a man who wants you DEAD

What's your opinion on the topic?
Some posters have missed the point entirely. This is NOT about personal choices. Nobody's saying they CAN'T date who they want, what I'm talking about is BLACK SURVIVAL in the 21st century and beyond
Don't understand how it's "paranoid" to be concerned about being able to work, eat, and feed your kids in America...
