During an MTV/MySpace.com forum on Thursday, John Edwards,predicated the doom of African-American males.
Edwards said that if he is not elected president, the population of Black-American males will most likely end up in jail or dead.
The democratic presidential candidate responded to a question about inner-city kids partaking in violence by saying:

“We start with the president of the United States saying to America, ‘we cannot build enough prisons to solve this problem.
