On Obama's Claim that the Spike Relative to Black Incarceration Rates Is Primarily Due to Nonviolent Drug Offenses

Again, the man is either an ignoramus or a liar. The fact of the matter is that the increases in black incarceration are almost solely due to the wildly disproportionate violent crime rate in the black community (the black murder rate is 6 times higher than the white murder rate with the robbery and rape rates being even more discrepant). Period, end of discussion. I mean, I understand that Obama is a feelings kind of fellow and an individual who's ideology is probably immutable at this point but I'm sorry, facts trump feelings............................................................................................P.S. And, yes, if Obama ever had the courage to go on stage with somebody like Heather MacDonald (a researcher and not a fellow political schmuck like Romney or McCain) he would be humiliated, flat out.
