Though I realize the point of the demomemo article is that Blacks are arrested more than Whites, the statement that 38% of Whites have been arrested by age 23 is equally concerning. Are there any other countries on this earth with as high an arrest rate by age 23? Here in the "land-of-the-free", over 1/3 of adult males have been arrested by age 23. That's the real news here. If these numbers are correct, we truly DO live in a police state.

I need to qualify this content of this article.
It's from a study done by the Univ of South Carolina.
In other words, it is not based on any official Govt numbers--for whatever that's worth.
I researched this because other articles at Demos are of questionable accuracy and questionable sources (such as one from Sentier Research claiming that median income has been rising over the last several years).
