Prison

I don't watch regular TV shows but I do watch cable news. I do watch old movies from the 30's and 40's on youtube and I have noticed something odd. First off there very few Black actors and when they did appear it was as servants. Most people who watch these movies are aware of this but another interesting thing was that all the criminals that appear in these old flicks were white. The percentage of Blacks in prison was 21% in 1920 and 42% in 1986. That has come down to 36% today.
