In 2014, Blacks constituted 2.3 million, or 34%, of the total 6.8 million correctional population. Blacks are incarcerated at more than 5x the rate of whites. Blacks make 14% and whites make 61% of the population in this country. Make it make sense
Mind you all correctional facilities are privately own so they have to meet certain quotas every year (and our tax money is used to pay them). In order to do so, there are two options, either to arrest more Blacks or give Blacks more jail time.
Who own these correctional facilities? The rich people who end up becoming part of the government.
In the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, about 17 million whites and 4 million Blacks reported having used an illicit drug within the last month. Blacks and whites use drugs at similar rates, but the jail rate of Black for drug charges is almost 6x that of whites.
According to NAACP, a criminal record can reduce the likelihood of a callback or job offer by nearly 50 percent. The negative impact of a criminal record is twice as large for African American applicants.

This country is so evil it’s hard to even imagine it.
