    Most US military helmets are made by ArmorSource or Gentex.

    I have heard you many times speak of black men and racism aginst black men etc. These black men are in jail for a reason. Some are in for selling drugs. That arguement can be made since crack has higher jail time than powder coke when they are the same drug, I will give you that arguement.
    Most of the black men in jail, for things not selling drugs related, are in for hard core crime. Armed robbery, murder, rape and breaking in to peoples homes and stealing their shizt. Why should it matter what color a rapist is? Why should it matter what color a murder is? Why should you give a flop what color the man that broke in your house and stole your wife's wedding ring is? Should these criminals be let go because they are black? Does being black give them a pass on stealing your flopin car? Oh, he's black, he doesn't have to go to jail for raping someone's mother because there are too many black men in jail and it's not fair.
    The reason there are so many black men in jail is because they are comitting so many flopin hard core crimes. What part of that is so hard to understand. They have a culture glorifing pimpin, drive by shooting, robbing and stealing. Listen to the gangster rap and you hear all of this and also the glorification of cop killing. You have fatherless homes and a culture of glorified criminal activity. That's why there are so many black men in jail.
    How in the flop can you sit here and say black men are in jail unfairly? You may not have said it today but you have before when we were talking about blacks in jail longer for crack than whites for powder. More blacks are in jail because they are doing so much hard core flopin crimes. Peorid. Any other reasoning is being a race baiting partisan dumbass.

    That wasn't where I was going with that at all, just repeating what the article said, but since you brought it up, you think that 70% of Louisiana's inmates being African American men is just par for the course? Why do you think that is? I'm not excusing any rapist, murderer, child abuser, or wife beater, but don't you think (since most are jailed for non violent drug offenses) that it may have something to do with poverty and not race?

    It doesn't matter if poverty is the so called cause or not. When you quit school in eighty grade and never even try to learn a skill other than thuggery you are going to end up in jail. White or black. Where is the parents of these kids who quit school and why did they do such a pisssy job? Why does the music they listen to glorify criminal activity? Is it because they are poor? I don't know? I do know if you get caught five or six times selling drugs your asz is going to jail. Selling drugs is easy. Getting up a four in the morning is hard. Selling drugs is easy. Learning a trade and marketing yourself to an employer is hard. Selling drugs is easy. Working your way up the ladder and starting at the bottom and earning your way up the latter is hard. That's why they are in jail for selling drugs. Laziness and not being taught how to be a man by someone who is a proper role model. Trying to be a playa and a gangsta , looking for the easy way and following a false glorification of crime, is the reason so many black men are in jail. If you looked at a case by case level, and had no names or pictures, a sane person would probably put these people in jail. Many have multiple felonies. How many times should one get convicted before they go to jail. What did they get convicted of? That's why so many blacks are in prison. Not some race baiting bullshizt liberal stance on racism in the court system. I bet you think that convicts should be able to vote too.

    yes, but poverty happens to black people partially because they are stupid. they have an idiotic culture which also holds them down. but that culture is caused partially by being stupid. and also they have it tough because white people are either racist like me or condescendingly patronizing like liberals.

    if the ghettos of baton rouge had all the blacks removed and replaced with immigrants from india, they would be educated and out of the ghetto within two generations.

    It is an unfortunate fact that black men from 15 to 35 commit crimes way out of proportion to their numbers. It should not be forgotten that most of their victims are also black. And it must be noted that in this century, black criminals are often arrested by black officers and deputies, prosecuted by black attorneys, and convicted by black judges and juries.

    Most are jailed with major crimes, amigo. It probably has a lot to do with poverty. But there are impoverished whites and latinos who do not embrace crime at such a scale. So it is far more than that. I think the number of single mothers and absentee fathers in the black community is more likely than poverty.

    No positive male role model is the reason. No father figure for an impressionable black kid to look up to and only having the gangsta rap heros and the neighborhood thugs as models to follow is the reason why. A mother giving up the bootie to whomever comes over with the drugs is another problem. That's why you have a woman with six kids from six diffrent fathers. It's what has happened to the black family unit is the reason why. It's a lot easier to blame white racist when the real problem can be summed up it this old saying. Shizt in shizt out.

    Once again, just because you see the world in black and white doesn't mean that the rest of us can't perceive the shades of gray here. Many of us are neither pathetic contemptible racists nor patronizing egocentric apologists. I'm a pragmatic detached observer.

    As far as black people are concerned, I admire about 10% of them and I despise about 10% of them and the rest . . . I can take 'em or leave 'em depending on how they come. Which is essentially the same way I feel about white people.
