I've been accused of being hermit , Landis and another former liberal poster that I cant think of as well. Imagine me being all of them if it makes you feel better

The most direct cause of America's world leading prison population is the War on Drugs. We lead the world with 25% of its prison population (while comprising only 5% of the world's population). Almost 25% of the people in jail are there because of drugs and, although whites use drugs more than blacks, blacks are far more likely to go to prison for it. This is true in countries such as England as well: http://www.csdp.org/publicservice/kids.htm http://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/node/63 http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2010/oct/31/race-bias-drug-arrests-claim http://powerisknowledge.newsvine.co...-more-whites-use-drugs-more-blacks-imprisoned It is because of the aforementioned that there are now more black people in jail (America) than there were black slaves circa 1850. http://www.laprogressive.com/law-and-the-justice-system/black-men-prison-system/
Well, if I wanted to make a connection I could say the plantation has been replaced with the prison industrial complex; however, I simply stated a fact and meant for it to serve as a reference point.
So the plantation has been replaced with the prison industrial complex, huh? Reference point as relates to what?? Oh my. I guess we think very differently. So, if a black man raped and killed your wife he is on the same level as a black slave was?
Did you know how many different products are manufactured at our prisons? There is a push for even more: http://www.daytondailynews.com/news...-to-manufacture-goods-for-market-1235507.html Also, I think we are talking about two vastly different scenarios. In my scenario I was examining the reasons behind black criminality in America and to a lesser degree Europe. My initial point was that the war on drugs is the primary cause of black incarceration in America. I then provided resources to back up my claims. 25% of our prison population is incarcerated for drugs and blacks make up a disproportionately large share of that population (as evidenced by the resources I provided). Rape and murder are not major factors, at least in what I have been able to glean, of why there are so many blacks in jail. However, to answer your question, if a black man raped and killed my wife, he would not be on the same level as a black slave. Only a black slave could be on the same level as a black slave.
