Cosmic.. A couple of observations..

If you figure that a majority of black males have gone through the justice system in some way

That's your figuring and a gross exaggeration I believe. I think "black felons" account for far less than "the majority" of black males, but I also believe that the majority of black males in general have NOT gone through the justice system in some way like you're suggesting. (I get YOUR point though)

In a really good election turn out, 30% of the population votes
And I believe this number is grossly overstated. Seriously, I don't know the "real numbers", but I think it's closer to 5%.. Let's make an open challenge to someone who
knows how/where to look it up.. US Census Bureau?

Anyway, I think your "figuring" is way off balance.
