Now substitute "white" for "black" in the headline and try to imagine that happening.

[Captain Compassion]

Blame Whitey. Now move along.

Young, African-American men are disproportionately more likely to be incarcerated.

It sounds as though these so called "lawmakers" believe that we should set a percentage of criminals to incarcerate according to skin tone. These people have "issues". They aren't right in the head.

Pointing to barriers to success, such as the likelihood of being racially profiled, having little or no access to quality health care or to have suffered from gun violence, Rep. Danny Davis called for the end of these and other disparities.

Up to reading that I was hopeful this just might be a good start to addressing these serious issues in the black community. The primary barrier to success is the welfare state has destroyed the black family, and substituted a government for a father. Based on Rep Davis' concerns it sounds like the caucus will simply demand a further expansion of the government plantation for blacks.

TOTAL WASTE of TAX PAYER MONEY and TIME.

Perhaps, their fathers should marry their mothers.

“Young, African-American men are disproportionately more likely to be incarcerated. Their unemployment rate for June was 13 percent.”

A) Blacks commit more crimes.
B) Less educated people or felons are less likely to be employed.

Black Lawmakers to Host First Hearing on the Status of Black Males

I am going to go out on a limb here:

All of them are still Black. And except for maybe Fredrick in San Francisco, who now goes by Frejiqua, they are all still male.

I’ll save everyone’s time and cut to the chase: It’s all my fault.

“We know that our nation cannot be true to its values, indeed cannot sustain itself, divided by such persistent inequalities,”
............................................................
He is worried about division so they have a caucus that divides by wanting to help only blacks.

They are divisive.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

End welfare. End unions. Encourage work. Encourage two-parent families.

Problem solved.

“Behavior of a single parent Sub-Culture raised on anti-white animosity and envy.
Triggered by their racist hatred and a righteous indignation
instilled and encouraged by a Leftist Hollywood
and Public School Victimist Propaganda.
Empowered by Liberals and their Entitlement Mentality.
Often Ignored and Protected by the National News Media,
Political Correctness and a corrupt DOJ.
Forgiven by an endless list of Affirmative Excuses
and Lowered Expectations.
Glorified beyond recognition by a fawning media on TV,
on the Movie screen, and Gansta Rap.

This is the chaotic new social dis-order,
void of personal safety,
common decency, and civilized behavior
that the multi-cultists have forced upon us,
and until America wakes up out of its blind obedience to Political Correctness
and recognizes this behavior for what it is, and admit that it is a serious problem,
violent crimes like these will only get worse....much worse.”

Let me guess; they'll spend millions for ACORN to do some studies and the outcome will be that whitey is keeping them down.

[Grams A]

I’m sure better access to healthcare is going to enable them to read beyond the 2nd grade level, write in cursive, speak in complete sentences and do simple math problems without the aid of a calculator. This is just totally stupid.

According to stats I saw from the Bureau of Labor Statistics at the end of 2012 unemployment among Black males was pushing 30%. Lots of jobs available in the oil patch but they would actually have to work for a change and I would suspect most of them haven’t a clue as to how to accomplish that task.

[Bullish]

Many, many Black American men have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and created their own equality.
Sadly, most seem to take the lazy road and end up lost.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I can predict the outcome; white America is the cause of blacks being nine times more likely to commit a crime.

[meadsjn]

Black lawmakers on Capitol Hill in March established the Congressional Caucus on Black Men and Boys to raise awareness about issues like these that disproportionately affect this demographic. On July 24, the group will hold its first hearing, titled "The Status of Black Males: Ensuring Our Boys Mature Into Strong Men."

I can help:

1. Quit committing crimes. Quit acting like thugs.
2. Turn off the racism and hatred, and start acting like responsible civilized human beings.
3. Learn to read, write, and start behaving like decent civilized human beings.
4. Pull up your pants, and practice walking like civilized human beings.
5. Practice talking like civilized human beings. Practice reading and writing. Study subjects that are constructive and useful in a free market society.
6. Start living and thinking like civilized human beings.
7. No one owes you a damn thing. Very few people of any color get anything for free -- you are far overdrawn on the free stuff. If you want a job, you can earn it. If you want respect, you can earn that too. If you want prosperity, you can create it, legally.
8. You are exactly the person you have created. Your life is exactly what you have created. Only you can change your thinking. Only you can change your behavior.

Not only do blacks commit more crimes, but many cities are fudging the numbers DOWN to make their cities look more attractive.

No mention of fatherless households, gang membership, crappy unionized schools in ghetto neighborhoods producing kids who can’t read their diplomas, and liberal policies that have created a persistent black underclass since the 1960s. Yeah, I’m sure their focus will solve all the black community’s problems. /S
