I vote for nearly true and very stupid, but a liberal can get way with this as Breck Girl will fortunately for him because the media is in the hip pocket of the Democratic Party with George Soros's money to back that up. Buying public policy allows one to get away with many things.
This remark sure seems a lot more offensive to me than anything Trent Lott said or did with godod old boy Strom Thurmund, you remember that don't you?
"Edwards: 'Pretty Soon We’re Not Going to Have a Young African-American Male Population in America.'
The Campaign Spot on National Review Online:MTV/MySpace Forum yesterday, Democratic candidate John Edwards offered an apocalyptic prediction for young black males:
“We cannot build enough prisons to solve this problem. And the idea that we can keep incarcerating and keep incarcerating — pretty soon we’re not going to have a young African-American male population in America. They’re all going to be in prison or dead. One of the two.”
Hyperbole much? Despite popular misperception and those who find it a convenient talking point to illustrate inescapable racism, there are more young African-American men in college than in prison. In 2005, according to the Census Bureau, there were 864,000 black men in college. According to Justice Department statistics, there were 802,000 in federal and state prisons and jails; between the ages of 18 and 24, however, black men in college outnumber those incarcerated by 4 to 1.
Snoop Dogg settled this all during the Imus controversy I thought, as he said then that only Brutha's and Sista's can say these things and get away with it, so I guess Edwards is off the hook as a liberal democrat he's an official Undercover Brutha.....
