PurplePride92 Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 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.
PurplePride92 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 1 out of every 3 black men will spend their lifetime in prison. Black men account for 6.5% of the US population. Black men account for 40.2% of the prison population.
ColonelCrazy Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I haven't seen it but am interested in checking it out.

What % of crime is done by a black man in the U.S.

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?
bugatti Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 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?
PurplePride92 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 I haven't seen it but am interested in checking it out. I'd meaning to check it out and it has blown me away. The conversation on these issues is extremely deep.
PurplePride92 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 Wow. Their lifetimes? Or 1 out of 3 will go to prison at sometime in their lives? 1 out of 3 young black males will spend some time of their life in prison. 1 out of 17 young white males will spend some time of their life in prison.
TheDeuce Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 1 out of 3 will spend some time of their life in prison. That is a disturbingly high number. I'll add this to my list to watch this week.
PurplePride92 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 That is a disturbingly high number. I'll add this to my list to watch this week. Running time is an hour and forty minutes. Damn good documentary.
jericho Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 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? No, 1 in 3 black men are not criminals. But are 1 in 3 black men criminals or bad guys in a place like inner city Detroit or Chicago?
jericho Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Running time is an hour and forty minutes. Damn good documentary. You've seen my hectic like, I cant watch anything but Disney Channel.
PurplePride92 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 You've seen my hectic like, I cant watch anything but Disney Channel. If that time ever comes you should watch it. I think it is right up your alley. They go into great detail about the why, how and who of things.
PurplePride92 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 No, 1 in 3 black men are not criminals. But are 1 in 3 black men criminals or bad guys in a place like inner city Detroit or Chicago? No. Not at all.
