I brought the small percentage of black people that live in Vermont, into a discussion about some of Bernie Sanders ideas. I should have left off the percentage of blacks in jail but it seemed a high ratio. In retrospect I shouldn't have made that comment at all and just remarked about what I thought was political pandering that was somewhat misleading IMO. Bernie has a way of making a utopian society seem more plausible than my cynical views which may be due in part to the areas we have called our home. He seems to be very appealing to young people and many others. In all I don't see where he could screw up much worse than other leaders in our nations body politic. I do feel he'd be a weak foreign strategist.Does this mean that they were treated unfairly for going to prison for breaking the law? I hear this type of statistic all the time and it always makes me wonder why people think criminals should be in direct correlation with race.
