      The US has a very very high incarceration rate because: * you have to be rich to be able to afford to jail people * to a good approximation, you have to have an African population to have a high crime rate * in general, African populations don't generate wealth to build prisonshttps://twitter.com/VolokhC/status/1181545788977008640 …

      2/ So you're going to see a "Laffer Curve" where 100% white populations (Iceland, Vermont, etc.) can afford prisons but don't need them, and 100% African populations (Angola, Namibia) need prisons but can't afford them. At an 85/15 white/African ratio you hit the sweet spot.

      5/ asylums and prisons. There are also national borders and social and economic inclines. All four (five?) of these things keep populations apart. In the limit we'd use Big Data to bin each person precisely and some other technology to keep them apart. So I'd suggest that >>

      6/ Instead of saying "we incarcerate too many people", we instead say "we don't segregate people NEARLY enough". Every crime that happens is a failure to segregate victimizers from victims. What policies can we adopt to increase segregation?

          9/ why limit it to "black" ? Crime CORRELATES with African, but not at the 1.0 level. Tons of good African Americans, and tons of terrible whites. That's part of the point of my rant - big data lets us get PRECISE. Race is a heuristic but imperfect.https://twitter.com/american_sulla/status/1181553602042777601 …

          I have suggested many times offering freedom and generous UBI for life as reparations to any black prison inmates willing to permanently emigrate to Africa thus reversing the injustice of the Middle Passage. This solves the problem you pose.

          the problem is not ‘africans’ but is instead the disproportionate rates of poverty and the racial wealth gap/deep, structural racism and political and social disenfranchisement/colonialism (in the case of african states)

          13/ Given that data shows that crime correlates with both age and gender, and thus the data shows that crime tracks very closely with testosterone, would expect, a priori, that populations with higher testosterone levels would have more or less crime?

You specifically talked about the demographic changes in the US from 1900 to the current year, and when I pointed out that there WEREN'T any (at least on the black percent), you've dodged and changed your thesis.

          There isn't a reparations narrative or movement for other people that I know of. Plus you were talking about segregation from the bad ones in prison to whom this would be offered. Voluntary of course. "Do you want to get out of prison and get free money for life?"
