Black in America

So i was trying to eat my dinner in peace and my dad started harassing me and my brother to come watch this tv show called black in america, i seen the commercials for it and it seemed interesting and i wasn't doing anything better so i decided towatch some tv with my pops. i didn't understand the big idea they were trying to back up except black in america but i did hear some interesting facts.

1.A black person applying for anytype of job has the same chance of getting the job as if he were a white male who was fresh out of jail which leads them to my number 2
2. black people have a 10 unemployment rate which is double that of white men
3. 1 in 3 (30%) of black men will end up having a police record by the end of their life
4.more than half of black males won't finish highschool and of those dropouts 60 percent of them will end up behind bars most drug related crimes
5.60 percent of black kids don't have a father around
6. and the last fact i caught was 2/3 of the reports made on black people on television are related to crimes while only 1/3 of the reports of whites are related to crimes.

interesting show with lots of eyeopening stuff to watch.
comes on cnn at like 8 on i think fridays but i'm not positive. look out for it!
