Obama White House Lists Prisoner Re-Entry Programs as Budget Priority for Black Families Only

The White House’s fiscal year 2013 budget includes $831 million for Department of Justice prisoner re-entry programs, which are designed to help inmates who have been released from prison find a job and to reduce recidivism rate.
Take a look at the Obama White House’s Office of Management and Budget, and you’ll find the program is mentioned under the fact sheet on key issues titled, “An Economy Built to Last and Security for African American Families.”
However, there is no mention of prisoner re-entry programs under any other header – not under the fact sheet on middle class families, Latino families, Asian-American families, or giving a hand up to low-income families.

Yet they are the first to cry racism.
Hey Obama! Spend the money cleaning up the mess BEFORE they get to prison. Advocate decency and integrity and honor and responsibility for the black community instead of lowering the bar to make heathenism acceptable as a culture and lifestyle.
EDUCATE them!
Or is this just another admission of inferiority of the black race?
Like Affirmative action and racial quota's...
Why in heck do they deserve special treatment? They are equal, remember?

The FBI puts out crime stats each year, and guess what? Blacks top the list as offenders and inmates, they make up over 80% of the incarserated individuals. Whom do you need to be worried about as a potentual crime victim? This is not Racist, it is dealing with the facts!
