No. It raises questions about culture. It's the view of the inevitability of a criminal lifestyle; the view that it is normal/typical/expected of Black men to be criminals at age 17-30, the same way that is normal/typical/expected of people to go to college, get drunk a lot, experiment with drugs, etc.

It's not economics. It's what people are taught they are supposed to be like; taught what they are supposed to emulate. It's what they follow.

Whenever I see a black boy--at the supermarket, for example--I'm sure to ask his parents if they've picked out a prison for him yet. If they haven't, I advise them to start him early with some petty shoplifting, perhaps at that very store. The really prestigious slammers are increasingly selective. I hear Marion won't even take you until you've shanked at least a couple at an institution of lower repute.
