Asked about what he could do about "inner-city kids partaking in violence" at the MTV/MySpace Forum yesterday, Democratic candidate John Edwards offered an apocalyptic prediction for young black males:

“We cannot build enough prisons to solve this problem. And the idea that we can keep incarcerating and keep incarcerating — pretty soon we’re not going to have a young African-American male population in America. They’re all going to be in prison or dead. One of the two.”

Do you agree with Edwards comment or is it just typical race baiting rhetoric in order to solicit the black vote?

Perhaps someone should tell Edwards that there are more young black men in college than in prison. He might then get a clue as to how stupid his comment is. Or not.

Pretty soon, we're not going to have a white male population competant in math in America. They're all going to be in prison, or running for president while mixing-up ratios. One of the two.

Bah, I saw that thread title and thought that had to do with Edwards commiting to using public funds for his campaign. My bad.

Mods: feel free to consolidate the threads.
