Blacks account for 50% of the prison population

[Moorelloyd]

You do not realize that:
"out of 13 percent of the entire black population"
And
"out of the entire black population which is 13% of the entire population"
Are not the same thing?!!!

It is likely that most of them are innocent too.

Something needs to be done about this. This is absolutely appalling. The number should be twice that.

The fact stated by itself is useless. If compared to what percentage of crimes are committed by blacks, it might mean something. For example if blacks commit 5% of all crimes it is terribly high, but if blacks commit 80% of all crimes it is low. Using half the facts to state a postulate is as worthless as saying the moon is half as big as the earth but twice as far away.

Black culture is rife with violence. Once they decide to join the rest of the nation, all their problems will disappear. For now, I assume they will continue to self segregate and hate American culture.

They won't change anytime soon. We've had a well educated, well spoken black president for two terms now, and yet the blacks still embrace the thug culture. Also consider we have a system that is very forgiving of crimes and let's perps back out on the streets with little to no time served. We should be locking first time violent offenders up for a long time. All murder, rape, pedophila offenders should be hanged swiftly, instead of life in prison paid for by the taxpayers.

Not all blacks are violent, and with strict laws and punishment we would get the bad ones out of circulation. That goes for Latinos and whites too. We could easily clean up crime in America. We just need to build some bigger prisons.

~3% of population commits >70% of all violent crimes. nobody wants to say it.....

“About 70% to 75% of the people described as committing violent crimes — assault, robbery, shootings, grand larceny — are described as being African-American.

“The percentage of people who are stopped is 53% African-American,” he continued. “So really, African-Americans are being understopped in relation to the percentage of people being described as being the perpetrators of violent crime.”
