Are you saying that the U.S government is slowly killing off the American black male population. I personally see this as a topic that isn't discussed enough. But honestly can't believe the government is maliciously doing this, i feel its just them faling there duty to all U.S citizens by not putting enough thought into this topic. I mean they have had a long time to address this issue(just like other countries). ITS A REAL SHAME BUT I HOPE TO SEE REAL PRO ACTIVE CHANGE IN MY LIFETIME.

I wish you success every step of the way. Black American men are an endangered species in America. I truly believe it is genocide which is being practised against black men in America.

Why is this not addressed by the the court system?

As I said, I wish you success and strength and perseverance in achieving your goal.

its not a gencidal practice against black men, it is a result of your U.S goverment allowing black males to be more likely to go to prison as a result of material and social deprevation.

the US govt is not merely "allowing" it is instatutionalizing and thereby promoting discrimination and deprevation of a targeted group based on class and race. it is a systemtatic practice, just as genocide is.
