Well, this statistic isn’t going to go over very well.

They way it reads, it almost sounds like 1 percent of black men in US are registered sex offenders. The way i interpret the next line “and black men enter the sex offender registry at nearly twice the rate of white men”…. well, it would conjure up the quick idea in my head that says that if 1 percent of black men are registered, and black men are entering the registry at nearly twice the rate of white men, then it basically means 1 out of 200 people (black vs white only) are on the registry in America. This could be actually where it’s going at this rate, not what it currently is. A half of percent of the US MALE POPULATION WHO IS EITHER BLACK OR WHITE. Add in everyone else (WOMAN & OTHER ETHNICITIES) and you bring up the number slighly or more to say, possibly or will soon be 1 PERCENT of the AMERICAN POPULATION)

Is that not far from the truth? Hard to know with studies and statistics. BTW, the only math class i ever passed with an A+ was Statistics in high school.

If there is an organization called “Black Lives Matter”, then do they care about Black Registrants ?? Do they fight for their own people, or do they shun their own like we white sheeple do against our own ? In the black communities of America do they discriminate against their own color of those who are on the registry ? I wonder how NIMBY works in these situations ?

The sex offender hysteria is obviously a white v white thing. It clearly is a honkey law that as a consequence sweeps up a disproportionate number of blacks.

How I would love to see a ” Black Registrants United”.

In any overall statistics of U.S. men (all races), we need to look at only the U.S. male population of 157 million since most convicted offenders are male. So to be very accurate we need to know what the number of females are on the registry so we can deduct that from the number of 750,000 total registered. I haven’t been in a math class in 35 years so can someone here do the math on what the percentage of U.S. male population (157,000,000) is registered without deducting for the tiny fraction of females that are part of the 750,000 registered citizens? Somewhere around 1 in 150 men (or maybe 1 in 160 men if you consider deducting the unknown tiny fraction of woman too)? I hope my math question is clear.

100,994,000 males over the age of 18. That’s the number to focus on.

.74% and no blacks do not shun rso at least not their own in prison. i was in sny yard in the pen protective custody and their were maybe two to three blacks out of over 1200 people on the yard. once you get out though i have been harassed by two different black guys at my apartment while the black rso living right across the parking lot from me who has way worse charges then I do has been totally left alone. dont figure huh

Erwin writes “… And kudos to libertarian minded states like the the Dakotas & Montana that don’t restrict RSOs….”

I wouldn’t give those states even a partial kudos since those states have internet identifier free speech chilling 1st Amendment violating cyber-Nazi self-reporting laws and also residency/presence restrictions, although at least in SD there is some “grandfathering in” allowed with residency restrictions.
