I think people are forgetting that one of the main reasons that there are way more black people in prison isn't because they're "More likely to be criminals", but because black people will get typically 5 to 10 times the jail sentence time for the same non violent offenses as white people. Don't believe me? Look it up.
Also, there's a thing called "three strike system". You go to jail for the 3rd time and it's life. Many black people have been in jail in their youths for things as stupid as Possession of weed. Get busted with weed, go to jail for a bit, then get busted again, another bit. Get into a fight, then it's life in jail.
We need to understand as well as to why there is more violence, and that's because even though they are no longer "Slaves", they've been left aside by society greatly until a few decades ago. They are still "Reintegrating", and if you're born in the guetto then most likely you'll die in the Guetto. How would you act if all you saw as a kid were fights, murders and drug dealing? Then they grow up and do the same thing and label them as Scum.
There are MANY variables to this, but it is clear that racism still prevails greatly. Just like if you're unarmed, you are 5 times more likely to be shot and killed by police than if you're white.

Live a good life. If there's a god and he's just, he will not care of how devout you are, he will accept you for the virtues you have based your life upon. If there's no god, then you will have gone, but you will have lived a noble life which will stay in the memories of those that you love.
