October 17, 20169 yr Has anyone seen this Netflix documentary? This is one of the more disturbing documentaries that I have ever seen. I recommend to those that watch it to have an open mind about mass incarceration, systemic/institutionalized racism, shady politics, American human rights violations and the systematic oppression of the black male in modern day USA. Very deep, disturbing and moving documentary.

Can I ask this w/o it looking like a racist question to all of BGP, except you know I dont mean it that way. What % of crime is done by a black man in the U.S.
October 17, 20169 yr Author Can I ask this w/o it looking like a racist question to all of BGP, except you know I dont mean it that way. What % of crime is done by a black man in the U.S. Watch the documentary. It addresses your question in an intellectual manner. Think about it though. Do you honestly believe that 1 out of every 3 black person you come across is a criminal?
October 17, 20169 yr 1 out of every 3 black men will spend their lifetime in prison. Wow. Their lifetimes? Or 1 out of 3 will go to prison at sometime in their lives?

Do you honestly believe that 1 out of every 3 black person you come across is a criminal? No, 1 in 3 black men are not criminals.
