I have physical, mental and spiritual scars from defending myself against them, though I'm lucky that I haven't been raped or otherwise lost my manhood. They write unsigned snitch notes to prison officials that name whites as gang members, almost all of whom are not. . . These prisoners are getting locked up for no reason. Administrators know about this manipulation, of course, but they cannot afford to ignore the claims because of the number of inmates who may riot or refuse to man the factories. The result is more racial agitation.
Some whites escalate their response in prison.
They respect a racial man because they know where he stands and what to expect from him. In 1999 a quarter of all black Texan males over 18 were in jail or prison or on probation or parole. Rosa Parks' bus seat has been replaced by the bench in the prison dayroom as a symbol of black progress. The widespread racial antagonism that is the real cause of the violence is never addressed because it is fundamental to prison life and useful to manipulative officials. Racial integration in prison simply is not like racial integration in a public school classroom.
