WQhat "blavk codes" are still being used today?
How is the argument about "black-on-black" crime "misinformed"? I realize that most white crime is also "white-on-white", but white people are not trying to claim that black people are the reason white people are in prison. Issues of racism in law enforcement and/or the court system does not change the fact that blacks commit violent crimes at a much higher rate than white people. The proof is not from arrests or convictions or sentences. It is from the high number of black people that report being the victim of violence from another black person.
And what do "black codes" have to do with black fathers being absent? Black men in prison only make up a miniscule percentage of black absent fathers. And NONE of them are in prison for violating any "black code".
