ANSWER TO YESTERDAYS QUESTION OF THE DAY: African-American men between the ages 18-24: INCARCERATED: 106,000 COLLEGE: 473,000 THAT IS A RATIO OF 4 TO 1 IN COLLEGE VS IN JAIL. *Please take note that these statistics were taken from 2005 Dept. of Education & Bureau of Justice Statistics. DOCUMENTATION TAKEN FROM FILM WHAT BLACK MEN THINK. {{Personal note: If you havent seen documentary What Black Men Think, I cannot urge you enough to find it and watch it. It is very enlightening, informative, &, really makes a person think about the subtle racism, discrimination, &, possible benefits for some that perpetuating these stereotypes, assumptions, and, falsehoods in journalism, advertising, statistics, and, politics.}} Please feel free to post a comment, BUT, if said comment is just a Segway to a FB debate of opposing views, restrain yourself. I posted this tidbit only because its interesting NOT to discuss, debate, nor defend it to anyone. Enough said.
