If people didn't do the crime then they wouldn't be doing the time. Very few people in jail are innocent of anything. With slavery people were imprisoned from the day they were born to the day they died and weren't guilty of anything, so there's no comparison between the two.
Maybe voting Republican would be first step in getting out of welfare and public assistance. As they say, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of crazy. Black Americans have been voting 80-90% Democrat for decades what has it done for them? Even under Obama, the black unemployment rate has increased. Then again, what does a successful brain surgeon like Ben Carson or a billionaire real estate developer know about anything?
actually i just read the other day that black unemployment rate is lowest in years
brain surgery and real estate ain't got shit to do with running a country
A successful brain surgeon and a real estate developer sure do as shit can do a lot with running a country. One has personal experience in health care and treating people, serving on business boards and has authored multiple scientific articles; the second has years of business experience. Compare that to the current occupant of the White House who has none of that and who didn't even finish his one term as a senator before he was elected. Since business is what pays the taxes for this country to run, yeah, it's a big deal.
