I Know The World is Worried About "Birthday Cake" But..... 

While the world/twitterverse is all caught up with Chris Brown, Rhianna and their lewd and lascivious affiliations, the Council of Great City Schools finds that only four percent of college students are Black men.  Yet, the prison yard runneth over! Black males that are 18 years old and older are 6 and a half times more likely to be imprisoned than their White male counterparts.  Everybody talking about these remixes but in 2008 African American men accounted for 36% of nation’s prison’s population and just 5% of the total college student population.  At the state level, the statistics are even more depressing as over 50 percent of the inmates in the state of New York are black males.  And y’all worried about cake?! oh.. ok.  Step in Jesus!
