Comic - first of all, thanks for digging up this
article, but I don't believe EVERYTHING I read.

Second, the article states that 39% of African American males "in their twenties" were either in prisons, jails, or on probation, that's not a majority, and it certainly does
not represent the Afican American male population in whole.

I agree that the statictics are NOT in AAM's favor, but
I won't pretend to know the cause or the answers. It IS
sickening to read, whether slightly understated or exaggerated.

Anyhow, do you believe felons should be allowed to vote?

Turns out you're right on voter turnout, however, these
figures are quite interesting.. Take a look all.....
