Why are american statistics so negative when it comes to blacks?

It is what it is. Sometimes the numbers happen to confirm stereotypes. What would suggest? fudging the numbers so they aren't so negative? Or how about rewording them; perhaps something like "Good news, 40% of black Americans will not go to jail at some point in their lives"...

My wedding video music?

Brand New Day is a great one for your entrance or really anywhere in the video. It's by Sting. Everytime I hear it in my video I think, man that song is perfect for wedding videos. Another one would be Ribbons In The Sky by Stevie Wonder and then something jazzy by Michael Buble or Harry Conick Jr. are great additions. I like the idea of using glamorous by Fergie. What do you think of Luxurious by Gwen? Have fun!
