23. Oh, it is the norm..
We just lock people up rather than throwing them in the fire..

The incarceration rate for black males in the US is almost six times as high as it was in South Africa under apartheid.

South Africa under Apartheid was internationally condemned as a racist society.

* South Africa under apartheid (1993), Black males: 851 per 100,000
* U.S. under George Bush (2006), Black males: 4,789 per 100,000
