To avoid looking completely + utterly out of touch w/ the reality our prison system: Instead of asking, “Should the Boston Bomber have the right to vote?” Try, “Should a nonviolent person stopped w/ a dime bag LOSE the right to vote?” Bc that question reflects WAY more people.

Many rebut the voting question by saying, “Well, *those* people shouldn’t be jailed.” Glad you feel that way! But the truth is, the US incarcerates more people per capita than anywhere in the world - even more than China. Our system is built to disenfranchise people of color

-We “shouldn’t” incarcerate for nonviolent offenses, -We “shouldn’t” have school-to-prison pipelines, -We “shouldn’t” sentence poc more than white people for similar crimes, ...but we do. We’re so eager to talk about punishment, but correcting our injustices is “controversial.”

Couple facts come to mind.... #1 - Jim Crow and slavery were initiated and backed by YOUR party. #2. Black men and PoC are more likely to commit crimes, thus... more incarcerations. But then again, I would think you could figure that out.

She doesn't care. She's trying to win votes and it works: "You shouldn't feel responsible for anything because you're a victim no matter what. Vote for me and you'll be showered with free money and someone to blame when anything doesn't go your way." Lies like that win votes...

Why is the number higher for minorities. It’s not a race thing. It’s a family thing. How many minority children are being brought up in a broken family compared to others? How many kids being brought up without a father figure? This is the reason for more minorities in jail.

You should really take an actual history course. Slavery was a Democrat driven offense. Lincoln, a Republican (not Kennedy as you said)set the Civil war in motion to give states more rights and stop slavery. Socialism destroys countrys and everyone's rights. You should research!
-
Lincoln aggressed on the South to stop secession, violating State sovereignty. It was the 5th or 6th largest world economy at the time. Abe’s motive was to keep the US together- slaves or no slaves. Don’t pay attn to the bete noir from Westchester.. primary her out of office
-
Actually no, they recessed away from Constitution of USA, thus losing state sovereignty, they fired 1st upon North, North retaliated, in pursuing Civil War, South lost rights to own slaves. Seems democrats never really got over it, with Jim Crow laws....etc.
-
How did they recess away? Those who refer to it as the war of northern aggression say 1st fire was a set up. (Not arguing .. I love this debate & new info. Waiver- I’m for secession, nullification and getting out of bad “marriages”. Also not an Abe fan).
-
Reality is they wanted a separate nation where they could do as they please, they want to keep slavery, they wanted to feel like lords over others, old world mentality.
-
South was definitely its own culture It’s said they fancied themselves gentry.. didn’t want to get their hands dirty. Fascinating to read on how basically different the North & South were to begin with.

Promoting racism again...where are the stats for this? According to 2010 census there are twice as many poor white people in America than blacks...then you assume all races must commit the same amount of crimes across the board. What a small minded person you are

Did you ever think so many people are in prison because they murdered, raped, beat, robbed someone at some point?

Slavery= Jim Crow + redlining = war on drugs= mass incarceration= THE POLICIES OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PAST AND PRESENT... the democratic party is not for black Americans, or Americans in general. Spouting your bullshit in a fake southern black accent, you are an ignorant idiot
