I've reasoned narrow-minded people to be the equivalent of instant mashed potatoes.

Hmm lets see here...

Alright, about that black man comment, it might actually be true. The U.S. has a 12% african population. Out of 200 million people, thats 24 million african americans. Half are women, so thats back down to 12 million eligible for the march. I'm not sure if this million man march wanted old people and children, so that might even cut that 12 million black man figure down. It was reported in december 2002 that 10.5 percent of black men in the U.S. from ages 25-29 were in federal prisons. Thats only a 4 year span, it doesnt inclue black men younger and older than that age range. That comment by that professor was probably slightly exxaggerated, but not too far off.
