There actually should be more blacks in jail. In the inner cities, blacks are very unlikely to cooperate with the police and as a result many crimes go unsolved because witnesses don’t come forward.
It does have to do with a "class" thing too I think. TL mentioned inner-cities, they basically grow up in a ghetto, their only known way of life,no father figures, etc.
Around here in New Hampshire, yes there are shitty drug cities like Manchester, a lot of crime, both black and white (and every other race). In the more woodsy/desolate towns, there are very few african americans, and the ones who are here are educated, working, nice, etc.
Go south toward Boston and some of the towns around there (Jamiaca Plain, Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, etc) and you really see the difference in both numbers, and crime.
"Dorchester, along with Roxbury and Mattapan neighborhoods, had the highest percentage of victims with violence-related injuries".
"The largest racial group in the neighborhood is Black or African-American with 49,612 people or 43.05%[8] of the population. People who self-identify as white represent 26,102 or 26.99%"
Up the road a bit you have Gloucester:"The racial makeup of the city was 91.99% White, 6.61% African American, 0.72% Asian, 0.12% Native American, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 0.50% from other races"
"Gloucester, MA has a violent crime rate that is 35% lower than the Massachusetts average and 37% lower than the national average".
It has tons to do with where and how people are brought up. Politicians give no fukks, and like to keep the classes, this way they stay "high class" with their life-long health benefits and pensions...
Now I'm off to the gym to lift with my black buddy Chad, nicest dude in the gym. (I almost ran him over yesterday AM though by accident, he said "trying to run over the black guy huh"?
I just said "well it is dark out you know".
