2) The high incarceration rate among African-Americans is another reason, says the report, citing a 2014 Brookings study showing that there is nearly a 70% chance that an African-American male without a high school diploma will be in prison by his mid 30s; having a criminal record makes it much tougher to find a job.

WTF are parents thinking when they name their kids something 'non-traditional' (like Dweezel or Moon Unit or abcde or Precious or ....) Employers hire people who are 'like them' and this country encourages assimilation, not oddness....
