Racial Disparities Research Reports
"Compared to other states, Minnesota has the greatest black-to-white disparity in imprisonment rates. In 1997..., the ratio of African Americans to whites in state prisons was 25.09 to 1." (African American Males Report)
"African American males also accounted for over three-fourths of the arrests for narcotic drug laws in Minneapolis (77.1%). In the same year, white males represented only 13.8% of the narcotic drug law arrests." (African American Males Report)
"In 1999, African Americans represented 3.5% of Minnesota's population, but 35% of the adult male prison population."
"Minnesota's Black-to-White imprsonment ratio is the twelfth highest in the nation."
The Black Sudents want to supress the statistics:
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – School officials at the University of Minnesota are working with black student and facility organizations after they wrote a letter to the school’s president about the racial descriptions given in crime alerts. The letter, sent on Dec. 6, 2013, was issued by members of the African American and African Studies, Black Faculty and Staff Association, Black Graduate and Professional Student Association, Black Men’s Forum, Black Student Union and Huntley House for African American Males.
Henceforth, let it be known, Black Collecge Graduates in Minneapolis do not do honest statistics.
