Pan, I think it's a matter of improving black communities through sensible action. Unless we know blacks are genetically predisposed to crime and violence, there is a reason why a greater proportion of them are committing these crimes and filling up the prison system. These are social issues.
You see the same thing here in Canada with the First Nations. You see issues of poverty, drug abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence on reserves in Canada that are way out of whack with the rest of the country. The First Nations prison population? Way out of whack.
The government doesn't need to bless the palms of every black descended from slaves by cutting them a check. They should, however, focus on what's wrong with black communities and how to improve them. Extra education programs, vocational training, women's services, etc., etc. are all a part of the puzzle. Do black communities have access to what they need to succeed? Are they protected from the bad elements of society? Are those who slip given adequate means to rehabilitate?
