Noting the races and such is going a bit too far.

Or they just want to state the facts.

50% of the prison population is black? Whoops, can't let that leak out because it'll start a riot.

Statistics are pointless, what?

It comes down to the individual in the long run.

I'm simply saying it's simple to meet a boack guy who's a better person than lots of white guys, regardless of how many blacks there are in prison.

It's all societal fluctuations and waves, it doesn't mean one slice of a shit.

Just because a statistic says 50% of all people in prison are black, it doesn't mean all black men are bad. psyduck;

It could simply mean there's something wrong in society that leads them to such actions, they're just more likely to get caught, prosecuted, etc. It's an attempt at an accurate compilation of facts.

Ok you're thinking reasonably

I thought you were attacking blacks.

because there are idiots that are offended by statistics

About 50% of people in prison are black, and that's a fact, not some attempt at a racist remark. Considering they're vastly outnumbered by caucasians, it shows there's a problem that the nation as a whole needs to better understand.

I kind of agree with Lawlz on this one.
