I'm glad that PT understands the role of the trickster to initiate the dialogue. I'm sorry that everyone ultimately misses the mark though. 1) I love the Freakonomics people and they have supported my Checkmate video previously, but saying that the NYTimes is wrong because they missed a factor which should alleviate the concern of the base numbers is str8 reeee-dirckulon. Young Black teenagers (no Kamron) are marginalized and then vilified. Hell yeah they gon' start killing shit. 2) Nobody wants to deal with the 800lb gorilla in the room which is the fact that supremacy and capitalism work best when there is a portion of the population that is capitalized upon. Black kids going to jail is big effin' business. It was during Nixon, Reagan, the Bushes and yes, Clinton. I agree totally with ProperTalks - How a nigga 'spose to eat when the NYTimes is making me into a potential boogieman? Props to PT for posting that graph I made.
