Is there a reason why black Americans statistically have a 65% incarceration rate?
And makeup 40% of all inmates in federal prisons across America? This is for a criminology assignment.
there is a correlation between crime and poverty. there is also a correlation between being a minority and being poor. its not that surprising that black americans are incarcerated at the rate they are

Crime is in their genes. They lack the intellectual capacity to succeed in a White nation.

Reason One: Blacks have it worse than Whites in every aspect of law enforcement not only due to being poverty-stricken and ghettoized, but also due to racial profiling and negative stereotypes. By the way, the criminal stereotypes of the Black race stem from poverty-stricken lifestyle Whites placed them in, oppressing them 35 years ago (lasting 500 years).
Reason two: The countless whites who whimper and/or make putdowns about the crummy state of much of the black community, whether it be in regards to crime, incarceration, welfare (which countless whites are on), etc., too idiotic to realize that this is all brought on by poverty—poverty stemming from the era of anti-black atrocities that lasted 5 centuries and ended only 35 years ago (grisly anti-black slavery era from 1500s to 1865; legalized anti-black discrimination and other cruelties from 1865 through the 1970s); not to mention, widespread white flight that took off throughout the 1970s as blacks were gradually getting more equal rights. White flight separated the wealth of society from blacks, making it that much harder for this poverty-stricken minority group to get out of the mess whites had placed them in. Legal barriers still enforced racial segregation well into the 1980s. Although these legal barriers had ceased to exist by the 1990s, injustices have always kept blacks poverty-stricken and segregated in innercities: as one example, whites bid up the price of housing in the suburbs, effectively excluding african americans; meanwhile, black neighborhoods receive fewer loans, even after accounting for businesses density, businesses size, industrial mix, neighborhood income, and the credit quality of local businesses. In addition to this, there’s the rest of the anti-black discrimination and hate crimes that go on today which most believe to be scanty in amount. According to recent FBI statistics however, anti-black hate crimes and discrimination from whites is at an all time high (as shown here: http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hc2008/incidents.html ). It simply isn’t being addressed as racism is carried out much more subtly than it was a few decades ago. One must ask themselves why has the unemployment rate in the black community recently skyrocketed in comparison to the unemployment rate in the white community. If it weren’t for all the anti-black atrocities and injustices of whites, the amount of blacks who are poor and lower-class wouldn’t be so high. Just to clarify, today’s black elderly weren’t allowed in so much as a decent bathroom 35 years ago, much less a decent living environment. They were lucky to be hired at degrading jobs that practiced racial discrimination. As a result, today’s middle-aged blacks were raised in poverty, and so on to much of today’s younger black generation. Not only is much of the black community in a shabby state for all the aforementioned reasons but most of the white community criticizes and puts down the black community over it while denying any fault of their own race.
African Americans have always been the most poverty-stricken race nationwide while white Americans have always one of the least poverty-stricken races. Believe it or not, poverty brings forth a slew of issues for much of the black community. Let’s connect some dots since some are too brainless to do so on their own: trying situations brought on by poverty cause lots of depression among african americans. Depression cannot be tackled with appointments to a pyschologists, as that would costs money that these African Americans are without. With nothing else to turn to, many take up DRUG USE. This triggers the SELLING OF DRUGS, as there are many in desperate monetary need and many driven to purchasing drugs. As another example, with little to no money to provide for themselves and their families, there’s a lot of STEALING. Stealing has a way of causing a whole assortment of unrelated CRIMES and misconduct from HOLD UPS at businesses; joining into GANGS to further chances of success/survival; GANG VIOLENCE; ASSAULTS; etc. All these problems create ROUGH, LOWER-CLASS NEIGHBORHOODS/AREAS; rough, lower-class neighborhoods/areas where many adopt a TOUGH, GANGSTER exteriors for purposes of survival; not to be "cool" as certain whites obnoxiously attribute it to. All these factors contribute to the high INCARCERATION rate among African Americans. In addition, if these lower-class African Americans are able to get a job, it will not only be a job with low pay, but fraught with danger because of the area in which they live. It’s important to note that black children/teens can’t receive decent educations in such areas. They’re attending trashy schools that can’t afford anything. Both in and out of school, there’s far too much concern over crime and survival to be focused on academics. This all links to lack of sex education, resulting in a lot of early teen pregancies and HIV/AIDS diseases which has become prevalent in much of the black community. Surviving

To Kevin: Every thing a white person does is a hate crime against blacks 5 white guys can beat up a black guy and steal his wallet and it is considered a hate crime but 5 black guys can beat up a white guy and steal his wallet it is considered robbery…. stop being such babies and get over your selves no one cares any more if you cant get a job, whites cant get jobs anymore either no one can. Its not our fault that many blacks are living in poverty stop blaming your faults on everyone else.

Black Americans don’t have a 65% incarceration rate, its FAR lower than that (closer to 30%)
