Your picture shows are hilarious. It makes it seem most often like you just learned that there's an images option when you Google something.

You chose to post a picture of a black man when mocking what may happen to Jerry Sandusky in prison. Then, when asked about why it had to be a black guy, fulfilling an ignorant stereotype, you blamed Google. That's ignorant.

Actually, this is the prison roommate you don't want to have:




And when I Google the word "prison inmate" I see photos like this:



Prisons are filled with a variety of people, all colors really... or so I've heard.

Thought many are...at least as shown in the movies...



More black men are in prison than enslaved during 1850.


ColorLines' Thoai Lu is reporting that the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates that as of 2008, there were more than 846,000 black men in prison, making up 40.2 percent of all inmates in the system


Alexander argues that prisons have become the latest form of economic and social disenfranchisement for young people of color, particularly black men. In it, she grapples with a central question: If crime rates have fluctuated over the years and are now at historical lows, then why have rates of incarcerated men of color skyrocketed over the past 30 years?
