Are they still higher than any other group by far?

I believe so yes.

The article says:

The overall incarceration rate for black men in its sample is 10.3% compared to 1.6% for white men

Which is a little under 6.5 times as much

You're arguing semantics, no matter what crimes you want to argue the gangs do or why, no one was forced to join a gang because they didn't have a dad. In America anyway. They choose to.

That's why I feel it's misplaced as a justification when it's an excuse.

The thing is, some of these people are growing up in gangs because they lack a father figure

I guess that's the part that shakes my pizza because I can't get behind that logic.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not ignorant or unsympathetic but I refuse to accept the logic that adult, even teenage men somewhat are not responsible for their own actions.

I feel that way of logic madness lies.

Reminds me of that Jontron vs the other guy debate when everyone got mad at Jontron for being against mass immigration, even though the guy was talking to said the most racist thing of the lot, when he argued that black men cannot control their own actions which is why they are all criminals.

Can't believe SJWs consider him their champion. But I'm getting side-tracked.

My point is, not having a dad or a mom didn't make you loot a mall or shoot someone. You threw the brick, you pulled the trigger, you decided that reading books and learning a trade was for ***s while commiting crimes was for real men. I can't accept anything that decries that as anything other than an excuse.

And I think its insulting to the people in those scenarios who worked hard and achieved to ignore that.

because that's a slap to the face of motherless and fatherless people out there who succeeded.

Someone didn't get the point of their own article

If you're not black and you didn't have a parent or parents you still weren't black

But you're still responsible for your own actions.

People being racist to you is a hiderence I understand. If Mr Henderson isn't going to hire blacks you're not getting hired.

But "You didn't have a dad so it's natural you failed while your neighbor who did have a dad succeeded." to me just sounds like an excuse. Not a reason. It's not even taking into account literally any other circumstance, and I feel like it encourages people lacking one or both parental figures to accept shortcomings instead of fighting forwards.

Barack Obama's father divorced his mom when he was like 2 and was well known as a lying asshole. He only really interacted with Barack once when he was 10. and Obama is more successful than anyone on this site will ever be combined.

Weirder still is the fact that it's really inconsistently enforced.

Ancdoetal of course but I have friends and family in the UK police force including a chief officer who didn't care.

And when I was in the UK one of the biggest stoners I knew was a cop.

On top of that people smoke in public and you see (well smell) people who reek of weed all the time and no one cares.

Then you turn around and hear about people getting jail time and big fines for doing it... It's so weird.

I guess it just depends on where in the UK you are. The Midlands are more forgiving I think.

The researchers note that in low-poverty neighbourhoods two things do improve black boys prospects and close the black-white gap: low levels of racial bias among whites and high rates of father presence among blacks. The presence of fathers seems to make a difference to a boy regardless of whether his own father is present, suggesting that other fathers can act as role models and mentors. The researchers point out that few black children grow up in such places. Fewer than 5% of black children grow up in areas with a poverty rate lower than 10% and more than half of black fathers present. By comparison, 63% of white children grow up in areas with such conditions.

In all this, it is hard to ignore the role the criminal justice system plays in the lives of black males. Black drivers are three times more likely than white drivers to have their car searched by police after a stop, blacks are arrested twice as often than whites for drug crimes despite similar usage rates, they are more often offered plea deals which involve jail time for similar crimes, and black males in particular are given longer sentences for the same crime.

Once they leave jail, black men face greater barriers with re-integration. Devah Pager from Princeton University and colleagues sent teams of black and white men to apply for jobs in New York, presenting equivalent resums differing only in race and criminal background. They found a significant negative effect of a criminal record on employment outcomes that was substantially larger for African Americans.

This evidence of discrimination in criminal justice can go some way towards explaining the results of the latest research. The overall incarceration rate for black men in its sample is 10.3% compared to 1.6% for white men and 0.6% for black women. That suggests an inter-generational impact of high rates of father incarceration on outcomes for boys. Other studies have found that schools with high levels of incarceration amongst parents produce worse educational outcomes for children.

To the extent that incarceration is one factor behind the income gap between white and black American men, there is some good news: prison populations have been falling. There has been a 17% decline in the number of black inmates in state and federal prisons between 2009 and 2016, outpacing the overall decline in incarceration rates.

I'm not saying they're wrong that a family unit is obviously a great thing which aids people but it sands my chaps when people say "Oh he didn't have a father growing up so it's okay that he failed in life." because that's a slap to the face of motherless and fatherless people out there who succeeded.

I didn't have a present father figure and I turned out fine. Christ I've known successful people who saw their parents die in front of them when they were kids

At the end of the day once you reach adulthood, barring incredible circumstances you are fully responsible for your own actions in my mind.

And the most likely to fall into iteven if they are born wealthy, according to a new study

THAT African Americans are poorer than the American average is well-established. In 2016, the median household income of black Americans was $39,500 compared to $65,000 for non-Hispanic white Americans. Lower parental income and education levels are often cited as reasons for this gap. But a new paper suggests that there is more to it than that. It finds that black men fare worse economically than white men even if they are raised in households with similar incomes and educated similarly. A black boy brought up in a wealthy family is as likely to become poor in adulthood as he is to remain prosperous.

The study, by Raj Chetty at NBER, Maggie Jones at the Census Bureau and two colleagues is notable for its size and sweep: it involves 20m people born between 1978 and 1983about 94% of all of those born over that period now resident in America. The authors use a range of data on child, parental and neighborhood characteristics to look at the impact of race on economic mobility over a generation.

It finds that a black man born to parents at the median income would expect to end up ten points lower in the percentile rank of his own earnings compared to a white man born to parents of median income. Black women, by contrast, rise an average of one percentile in the earnings ranking compared to white women. In terms of high school completion, college attendance, incarceration rates, hours worked and employment rates black women also look indistinguishable from white women raised in households with similar incomes. Black men see worse outcomes on all of these measures than both white men and black women. In terms of earnings it appears black women from poor families primarily face barriers because of poverty and gender, while black men from those families face barriers because of poverty and race. New Yorks annual murder statistics are still worse than Londons

The paper's authors dismiss some frequently cited explanations for the opportunity gap. They find that the impact of growing up in a single parent home or one with less-educated parents on upward mobility is muted. And while neighborhoods matter to incomes, they have little impact on the mobility gap, which is present within and across nearly all of the 28,850 neighborhoods in the study. Among children with parents earning at the 25th percentile, black boys had lower incomes in adulthood than white boys in 99% of the neighborhoods. School and housing integration may not help if the mobility gap persists even among children raised on the same block, going to the same school.

Verne Troyer, the diminutive actor known for playing Mini Me in the Austin Powers comedy films, has been hospitalized, according to reports.

Los Angeles firefighters responded to the 49-year-old actors home around 8:30 p.m. Monday night, and he was rushed to a hospital for a reported poisoning, People magazine reported. Troyer was later placed in an involuntary psychiatric hold, according to the Blast. Such restraints are used when a patient is deemed to be a danger to themselves or others, the report said.

Emergency personnel told that a friend of Troyers had alerted them, referring to the actor as being extremely upset, drunk and suicidal. the actor had been hospitalized for alcohol abuse about a year ago, and spent some time in rehab afterward.

A statement later appeared on Troyers Instagram site. It read, in part: Asking you to keep Verne in your thoughts and prayers. Hes getting the best care possible and is resting comfortably.

The first Austin Powers film, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, appeared in 1997. It was followed in 1999 by Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, and in 2002 by Austin Powers in Goldmember.

The films star former Saturday Night Live cast member Mike Myers as both the title character a kind of comedic spy -- as well as Dr. Evil, Powers arch nemesis. Troyer, in his role as Mini Me, plays a clone of Dr. Evil.

Speaking of Spyro and eggs,

One thing that always disturbed me about Spyro since I was a kid is that Spyro is the only kid in the land of dragons. Everyone else is an adult.

Okay, cool. No problem then.

Then in Spyro 3 they reveal that dragons produce eggs every 12 years as part of their mating season. Which makes sense, Spyro seems to be about 12. And in that game ALL the eggs are stolen and you get them back. There are 150.

But wait... If the dragons have about 150 kids every 12 years... Why is spyro the only kid?

What happened to the other approx 149 dragons that should be Spyro's age? Where are they? Are they dead?

I assume so since again in Spyro 3, the other dragons were too large to go down the holes to get the eggs back so they just sent Spyro alone. If there were more dragons spyro's age you'd think they would come too as back up.

Did Gnasty Gnorc kill all the other kid dragons? Do the adult dragons eat all but a few of the kid dragons?

It disturbed me greatly.

A female shooter almost certainly means domestic.

Odds are on this, but female murders don't usually attack innocent civilians over domestic issues.

Targeted shootings in public spaces often see innocent bystanders get hit.

4 separate people in an office environment? Maybe if she busted into a meeting, but otherwise 3 bystanders seems a bit much.

The shooting started at a large outside party.

That said, the implication of the police update implied the 4 victims bodies were in different places.
