KPCC reports that Dignity Power Now, an L.A.-based activist group, conducted a study which found that 43 percent of Los Angeles jail inmates with serious mental illnesses are black. The report was assembled with the participation of law students at UCLA’s International Human Rights Law Program.
Blacks make up only 9.6 percent of the general population, but 30 percent of Los Angeles jail inmates are black.
It stands to reason that the jail population of the mentally ill is a microcosm of the mentally ill population in society at large. That would mean a much higher percentage of blacks than whites are nuts.
They say the proof is in the pudding. Almost all black voters voted for Obama. Doesn’t that prove they were nuts? Many blacks look to Al Sharpton as a leader of and spokesman for the black community. Doesn’t that prove they are nuts? And while most Americans believe Obama has done a poor job, the overwhelming majority of blacks still approve of Obama as president. Now that definitely proves they are nuts!
