I live in a predominantly poor black community. I am aware that many black people make up the prison population however I am having a hard time understanding is there incarceration a reflection of their character or a result of American racism?

People say all the time black men are more likely to go to prison because they grow up in a poor environment and a single family household. I know that there are a lot of dirty and racist cops. I know there a lot of dirty and racist judges who punish black people excessively. however is this the case for why all black people are in prison. my brother is a black male, he grew up in a single parent household, my brothers father was physically abusive to my mother (before I was born) my brothers father is a black male in prison. However my brother is currently attending a four year university. HE is 22 and never been arrested or in the back of a pilice car. But somewhere on the other side of the world a young black man has gone through the same thing but is in prison. How come my brother is not in prison but other black men with the same stories are? My brother and I have the same Mom and she is great. Does parenting have a role in this? Is it a reflection of Character And Morality. Or a Result of the white man's racist ways.

I am dating such a wonderfull man. He loves me so much and I love him. We've been going out for a year but in secret because he's parents are so racist against me due to my race. They told him if he doesn't break up with me they will go back to sri Lanka. He's father assumes my family has a low income, I'm ghetto, I'm easy going, and etc with black sterotypes. But he is extreme wrong I go to uni, work, have a A average, speak 3 languages, an investor and my parents are going to retire in 7 years since their retirement is 3.5 million. I live in a nice house, my parents are very strict and want only A+'s. They think B's mean your failing. Back to the point. I'm scared. He and I want to just move away together and not tell anyone about our future and us. Any advice?
