More Minorities in CELLS than Dorms

Like 'makin' it in the hood'? Not intended as a joke. Plus, the article even says that most inmates (96%) are 25 or older, while college age is 18-24.

It's not necessarily "making it in the hood."

Being white gives us many, many priveledges that we don't even realize because we're so used to having them. If you had to go a day as a black person, or as a mexican, you would see exactly what they are missing out on.

D3v, have you ever been pulled over because you're white? Have you ever been profiled as a shoplifter in a store because you're white?

Not only that, but this "study" is very deceptive.

First of all, not ALL college students live in dorms, so this isn't talking about how many blacks are in prison vs in college. It's talking about how many blacks are in prison vs in dorms. They are two very different things. There are, in fact, more blacks in college than there are in prison, which you might find suprising because college-age is only 18-24 for the most part, whereas prison age is anywhere from 18 up, a much larger range.

18-24 is not necessairily the 'college age'. That's just when people can first attend. There are alot of people trying to turn their lives around after 24 that still attend.

I don't see how you can call me ignorant, when in the 'Jena 6' thread you defend the white guy? I'm so confused.

He just likes to disagree with every post of yours, mine, or everyone else's actually. I guess we're all ignorant.

I'm going to threaten the stability of the universe and agree with your post, thus creating a paradox and possibly destroying space-time as we know it.
