It's because, given the higher rates at which black folks are incarcerated, given the greater, and growing, income differences between the rich and poor in America, given the bleak job market, and the fact that black folks have been fighting an uphill battle ever since they were brought to the American continent, this is not a surprise. Don't believe the hopey changey hype. The numbers don't lie.
