Funny how we only see videos of one or two things when videoes of black men are shown
1. A violent crime
2. Black men repeating what right wing whites believe.
Despite the per capita excuse, at least 95 percent of the blacks in this country are law abiding, hard working, god fearing citizens.
On August 15, 2013, The Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice published a paper by Mike Males titled, “Why the Gigantic, Decades-Long Drop in Black Youth Crime Threatens Major Interests.” Americans tend to create nostalgia about the past. The fact is that the good old days never were. I say this as a black citizen of this country, but the “good old days” never existed for anyone. Males points this out in his report. “For nearly all serious and minor offenses, including homicide, rates among black teenagers nationally were lower in 2011 than when racial statistics were first collected nationally in 1964. Black youths’ murder arrest rates are considerably lower today than back when Bill Cosby was funny (long, long ago).”
“Today’s young African Americans display the lowest rates of crime and serious risk of any generation that can be reliably assessed.”
These are the types of young men who are the majority in the black community.
