For every 100 black women not in jail, there are only 83 black men. The remaining men – 1.5 million of them – are, in a sense, missing.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I’d hide too.

[Red Badger]

They ain’t missing.
We know where they are.............

[US Navy Vet]

I’ll take “Abortion” and the “Great Society” for $500, Alex.

[no-to-illegals]

Burp!

[zeebee]

Incarceration and early deaths are the overwhelming drivers of the gap. Of the 1.5 million missing ... — higher imprisonment rates account for almost 600,000.

[hinckley buzzard]

What a waste.

[Veto!]

The NYT calls this news? Everyone knows this already.

[WayneS]

Maybe black women are better at hiding their victims than white women...

[Dilbert San Diego]

As far as so many black men in prison, what are they trying to say?

If you do the crime, you should do the time. Regardless of skin color or any other characteristic, if you do the crime and are convicted, you get sent to prison. What are they saying????

[deport]

Life choices impact each segment of the population, good or bad.
Each individual must make that choice.

[Ted Grant]

Some of these guys may be mixed race and do not self identify as black. I suppose there should be a comparable number of women not identifying as black, but I can’t say.

[Responsibility2nd]

Why post short a terrible excerpt?

I’ve no use in clicking an Slimes link. Please don’t revert to posting lazy or sloppy threads.

Thanks.

“Great Society” worked exactly as LBJ predicted it would work.

[thefactor]

That the entire system is racist. They, and many others, have been saying it for years.

[Perseverando]

Black women just can't get a break when it comes to finding a man to marry:

[Daffynition]

Hey, I have an idea of where to look.....just a wild guess however...

[Towed_Jumper]

“For every 100 black women not in jail, there are only 83 black men.”

Yet another “Women and Minorities hit hardest” story from the ever predictable New York Times. Do you think the NYT’s editors made the connection between the high incarceration rate of black males and plummeting violent crime rates? I didn't think so.

[Cowboy Bob]

But the women are still getting pregnant...multiple times. So, I’d say the missing men aren’t really missed.

This automatically makes me wonder, what is the percentage of female to male black children who are aborted every year?

That is, among black mothers, is there a gender bias in abortion, one way or another?

This is a much more powerful statistic of the collapse of black society.

“According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, black women are more than 5 times as likely as white women to have an abortion. On average, 1,876 black babies are aborted every day in the United States.

“This incidence of abortion has resulted in a tremendous loss of life. It has been estimated that since 1973 Black women have had about 16 million abortions.”
