You monitor any group real close, you'll get many arrests.

The implications of heavy monitoring are serious.


*   Jan 30 1997, The New York Times, page A12
*   
*   Blacks make up 51 percent of the 1.1 million inmates in state and
*   Federal prisons, the Sentencing Project study said, though
*   blacks are only 14 percent of the nation's population.
*   
*   Of a total voting age population of 10.4 million black men nationwide,
*   an estimated 1.46 million have lost the right to vote [as a result].


Wow.

This highly focused monitoring of blacks should be way illegal.

Blacks make up 14% of our U.S. population.

Blacks make up 51% of our prison population.

Never forget what it means to be heavily monitored: there is no place to hide.

Noone is an angel.

Are you?


What's in store next for black Americans?
