@Makhaidos: Stuff like that is stupid because they don't account for how much of the population is white. For instance 72% of the USA is white. No shit 71% of the bachelors degrees are held by whites. It would make no sense if that was a 50-50 split.
Actually I'm pretty sure that thing about the bachelors degrees is just wrong. I think what they meant was 71% of white people have a bachelors (obviously not true) and 29% of black people have a bachelors. This wikipedia page says around 33% of white people have a bachelors and around 20% of black people have a bachelors.
Oh and the prison thing is because guess what, black people are way more likely to break the law. It's shitty and probably because of where they grew up, but that huge number of blacks in prison isn't purely due to racism.
