re: #110 Shvaughn

Don’t you mean “in many poor communities”? You don’t like overgeneralization, but surely the phenomenon you’re talking about — as you yourself admit when you say “decent people, black and white” — is one correlated more with economic status than with race.

In my experience it is black communities, but it no doubt exist in others although unless you think the majority of black males in prison are innocent the problem is clearly greater in black communities than others given the statistics that we all know. That this correlates with economic status does not change the reality.
