AFRICAN-AMEICANS ARE NOT IMPRISONED FOR BEING BLACK

Jarrell Milton, a 12-year-old murderer, and Allen McQueen are products of a subculture of criminality

African-Americans and white liberals claim that our jails and prisons are full of blacks because the criminal justice system is racist. President Obama and former attorney general Eric Holder have publicly made such claims. Plain and simple, that’s a lot of hooey!

While we continue to have some miscarriages of justice due to racism, the truth is that blacks in jails and prisons are there for committing crimes and not for being black. They are imprisoned largely because there is a subculture of criminality within black communities. 12-year-old Jarrell Milton of Omaha, Nebraska is a poster boy for that subculture.

In broad daylight on June 29, Jarrel, his 17-year-old brother Jamar and 15-year-old Shuntayvious Primes-Willis lured Jamymell Ray, 31, and Charles Fisher, 30, to a park on the pretense of wanting to buy some pot. Upon their arrival at the park, Ray was shot dead and Fisher was seriously wounded. Police believe the shootings were gang related.

Jamar and Shuntayvious are in custody. Jarrell was on the lam until Tuesday when he was busted in Minneapolis, Minnesota, some 400 miles from Omaha. All three are charged with first degree murder and the prosecutor’s office wants to try the three as adults.

The two murderers being held in Omaha appeared in court Tuesday and were denied bail.

I am sure that liberals would not want to see 12-year-old Jarrell jailed. Instead they would compliment the boy for his skillful use of a gun and suggest he puts those skills to use by becoming a game warden.

Another example of the black subculture of criminality occurred in the Bronx on Tuesday. Allen McQueen, 21, was carrying his one-year-old daughter while walking to a park. Suddenly a gunman appeared and shot McQueen in the head. The baby fell to the ground but was unhurt. The gunman, believed to be in his 20s, laughed loudly after killing McQueen, then ran to a Mercedes and drove off. He subsequently wrecked the Mercedes and continued his flight on foot.

The cops believe this shooting was also gang related. While McQueen was a loving and doting father, he also had a record of 20 arrests, including arrests for attempted murder, robbery, narcotics, weapons possession and theft. McQueen was also shot in 2014.

So what is it going to take to wipe out this subculture of criminality which claims far more African-American victims than whites? It’s certainly not going to be wiped out by Al Sharpton, President Obama, Eric Holder and their ilk blaming it on a racist criminal justice system.

Criminologists believe education and employment is the key. But blacks are not going to find well-paying jobs if they are school dropouts or graduate from high school without being able to read or do math. With the exception of menial labor, most construction and other blue collar jobs require the ability to read and do mathematical calculations.

Even if we put every black criminal into prison, unless they’re sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, eventually they are simply going to be recycled back into the community to resume their criminal lifestyle. In other words, that subculture is here to stay.
