SOCIAL CONTROL: Just LOOK at the racial disparity of incarceration   Updated at 9:49 AM
   


I think the statistical evidence is clear that incarceration in the US is primarily about social control, it is not about public safety. That is the public policy foundation in this system. But the prison industry is also largely privatized by the Reagan revolution, the corporatization of the republic.

3. I suppose there is a point that could be made with respect to the drug war and social control;
   
however, the racial disparity of those incarcerated is directly related to the racial disparity of the offenders. For example, black people committed 5,890 murders in 2009. On the other hand, white people committed 5,286 murders. When you consider the fact that 12.6% of the country is black and 72.4% is white, it is clear why so many blacks are incarcerated.

Yup, that guy is toast.
Never confound Dump monkeys with truth.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

That is something that even Chris Rock got right. I know this has been posted before, but I think this topic merits a rerun.

What the Fu*k does race have to do with prison population. One lives in a country where the majority is of one race, do we expect to find an equal division of all races incarcerated???

Lets break this down into the religious beliefs of those law breakers.  Race seldom has much to do with  if a person will become a criminal-so next thing is to examine the religion to see if there is something there to cause people to Break the law.

Lets compair Chinese and Koran prisons with the religious make up of the prisons in the USA.

 :killemall:

What percentage of people in the prisons of the  USA follow Asian beliefs ???

Compire this to the Presentage of prisoner's in China and Korea that have non Asian beliefs.

Italy has prisons, what percent of the prisoners are non Catholic????   Yes I know the Muslims are taking over that country and within a few years it will be hard to find a Soutern Baptist incarcerated in that country.

New Hampshire, what percent of prisoners are Muslim, Buddest or Mormon????  I find this unacceptable that 90% of our prisoners are Christian, we need to get more Muslims in our jails, this is a definite on slough to the Christian community. Are we targeting Christians in this state ???

Georgia what is the percentage of faith in the prisoner's there ,some Baptists some Black Muslim, some white supremacist's,[ off topic here why are the Black Panthers accepted but the White supremacists considered racists?????----]

Could it be that the White Supremacists are usually Christian and Farracons bunch are Muslim ????

For those that do not understand my sarcasm I apologise, I have come to look at life with a very black sense of humor.

Do we need quota systems for incarceration?  HAHA.

Good Grief.

I do in a way understand the economic circumstances of many, and the desperation some might feel.   I am not cold hearted by any means.   The fact is, when the great society came around many thought it would lead to bigger better things.  The truth of the matter is that led to broken homes and the breakdown of the family unit most experienced in this minority community.  Broken homes, and the degradation of religion and family, based on who supports the family and the lack of necessity for a man at home has disfranchised the Black community more than any other thing.  The pure genius behind it all is that basing government beliefs on who sends me a check has endeared that part of the population to the tune of 90% voting ways.   Having no purpose to provide brings the frothy underbelly of primal desire to the forefront witnessed by entertainment we see and behavior.  On the other hand, the senior citizens of this country have been forgotten by their children by social security and medicare.  In turn, another brilliant stroke of politics happened, wherein senior citizens fear being left behind by the child that takes care of them, the government.   Sad situation in this country.

OMG!  :rotf:

I love this skit because Steve Carell's character, on The Office, did this joke in front of the entire office.  Which then caused some corporate guy come in for "diversity day" training.

I can't find that version on YouTube, but it's so freaking hilarious.
