  1. I think the real issue is class and wealth, race is a smoke screen. King and X were killed after they were expanding their audience. For King it was the garbage strike and for. X it was dropping the white devil after going to Mecca. I think certain policies or laws fall unevenly on the population. Gambling cigarette and alcohol tax are going to fall more in poorer people. Since these purchases are a larger share if their income. Which is a regressive tax. Fair is everyone pays the same percentage. Progressive is the wealthier pay more.

  2. Cynique interesting I was struck by the fact that explosions in action movies are male orgasms. I forgot who said it,I think it was a woman, "Violence is the new sex" As an aside typing "violence is the new sex, turned up four pages of mostly the same links. A net can save you from falling. A web is meant to capture prey.

  3. Mass incarceration is also being used to solve the "unemployment problem". Rather than providing good jobs, they locking Black men up by the hundreds of thousands they take them off the street where they are no longer competition for jobs and other resources. Unfortunately even after knowing this too many Black men continue to engage in reckless behavior that lead to there incarceration. At the heart of it is the unwillingness to take responsibility for themselves. Too many would rather go to prison and get fed, clothed, and had a bed to sleep on rather than getting a job and earning much much more for themselves. I believe this is a prime example of institutionalization.
