War and the black vet?

Intersting point in this editorial about the war and what a black vet thinks about it. Including this quote:

To this vet, this war means continued severe economic depression for the masses of our people to the point where they will become desperate and join the military. This war means a police state will be elevated to 10 times the level that it is now. This war means Black women will fill up the prisons faster than the men, and Black men will be incarcerated at an even younger age.

I wonder why the Black women would fill the prisons?
