It's not because they're black; it's because they live in a very rough neighborhood. I was just working in a bad neighborhood the past week; most of the shops and some houses had iron bars on the doors and windows to prevent theft and vandalism.
If a neighborhood's bad enough, they'll board up the windows. You know it's REALLY bad when they use iron bars. And any place where you have a lot of poor people is a place where you'll have a lot of crime.

Anyone in a poor area may put bars on their windows for protection. Black or white. High crime areas are not rich areas.

When you don't trust your neighbors you put up protection. When others feel they are entitled to your stuff you start putting up bars/walls up. At one time locks on doors was the exception. The 1st world needs to stop teaching its citizens that one is entitled to a certain life style.

It's not because they're black, it's because they are in a poor neighbourhood. I had bars on my windows when I lived in poor neighbourhoods (I'm white, by the way).

The bars are for decoration. Deed restrictions often limit homeowners to simple beautification techniques, such as adding bars to windows.

so their drugs dont get stolen the area only looks POOR because they dont want whitey to find out they live in poor *** houses or areas so that it makes it less obvious that they are pushing illegal drugs. They dumb *** ones live in huge houses and are black and that gives them away!
