Well probably because the commit 73.27% of crime\n\n\nBut how do you do a .27% of a crime? Are they only half or 1/4 black or something?\n\nWhat the hell are you talking about... Third answer? Why do I have to go back. Is it because I did not calculate the amount of African Americans who are mixed breeds and divide the percentage with the amount of full bred African Americans.\n\nExplain this to me, but remember... It's not my statistics.

I think you meant to ask " Why are there more African-Americans in jail than any other race?". I believe that there must be more African-Americans committing crimes than any other race. I would guess that the percentage of who gets caught is close to equal across all races. Therefore, the more crimes, the more caught. We all know what's illegal, so those that choose to break the law might just have to suffer the consequences of their actions. I hope this has been helpful.

I am Dutch and there are lot of black Dutch people. Many come from Suriname or the Dutch Antillen, which used to be Dutch kolonies.\n\nThere are many not-white people living here that are just as Dutch as an African-American is American.

Gallup published results of a death penalty poll in November 2004. Included are breakdowns by a variety of categories, including political affiliations, religious affiliations gender, and race. To answer your question, results showed 49% of African-Americans surveyed are opposed to the death penalty; 44% in support, 7% "no opinion"\n\nThis is as opposed to the statistics for white people: 71% for, 24% against, 5% no opinion.\n\nThe results are aggregate for years 2001 to 2004, and can be found here: http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?scid=23&did=1266

Unfortunately self hate was one of the residues from the cruelty of our past.  I hate it too.  Some people have no idea how much Africans and African Americans have in common.

People in positions of power, regardless of race, often receive a lot of leeway in legal matters that would land most of the common people in jail. Consider Ted Kennedy (got away with manslaughter), the head honchos at Enron (getting off pretty light compared to all the people whose retirements have been ruined), O.J. Simpson and Robert Blake (they should team up to catch the "real killers") and the list goes on...

He should be locked up. He is dangerous. Are you writing from the U.S.? Aren't the jails overcrowded there? Maybe this is why he couldn't be jailed.

Estimated at 34,772,381 as of 2004\n\nhttp://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/ADPTable?_bm=y&-geo_id=01000US&-ds_name=ACS_2004_EST_G00_&-_lang=en&-_caller=geoselect&-format=\n\nIf you include those that claim "mixed race"  and report black or african american, then the total jumps to more than 36,597,015

My brother works for the prison system and he said they WILL go to jail in the U.S. but eventually be deported to their country of origin. I don't know if they will be sent to another jail there or simply sent back.... sorry.

You can detailed prison population numbers from the web site of The Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics.\n\nThe site is often busy so it might take a while.
