@fight4women You misunderstand. He went to jail 53 years ago, not *for* 53 years. -
@Mikevago Some states, like Mississippi still very racist. KKK still very active, which is insane. -
@fight4women Can't disagree with any of that. And it was awful that Rep. Lewis was jailed in the first place. Just fact-checking is all. -
@Mikevago Thank god most states have come to their senses about racism.. -
@fight4women I wouldn't go that far. Look at the prison population and tell me the states are over racism. -
@Mikevago Some of that can be related to environment. Grow up in slums surrounded by abuse, to survive join gangs, traffic dope etc.. -
@fight4women@Mikevago also doesn't take into account past in present forms of discrimination AND failing schools that are mostly black! - 6 more replies
