If you go back to 1953 I think you’d find a prison population in northern and western states, at least, reflecting the race of the general population. Now the prison pop is actually more skewed to blacks and latinos than these homicide numbers are. Why is this? I think Moynihan had it correct almost 50 years ago, FAMILY. And Progressives, starting with the New Deal but being accelerated by Socialists like NYC’s Vito Marcantonio destroyed the black family through welfare and dependency. All in the search for creating a class totally dependent on govt. What they got in addition was a class of young adults without any moral foundation, only interested in immediate gratification of their wants.
Didn’t that vile politician......LBJ say “the n***ers would be voting for democrats for hundred years”after passing legisation supporting the war on poverty.
Sorry for the redundancy. Vile=Politician.
