“There are more Black people in jail today than were enslaved in 1850; and more Blacks are disenfranchised today than in 1875, when the 15th amendment prohibiting discrimination in voting rights based on race was passed. In Obama’s hometown of Chicago, the total population of Black males with a felony record is 80 percent of the adult Black male workforce. The 48 countries of equatorial Africa Obama admonishes have a combined population of 961 million and their total prison population is 830,000. If Africa jailed its people at the same rate as the US jails its Black population, we would have 38.4 million people in jail.”
