Don't hold back .. call me a "nigga" .. although Topspin already beat you to it.

Just what we need, a Canadian white dude who can't be more than 12 years old determining when black issues should be discussed.

SO when is someone going to make this a critical isue and talk about it before the American people?

As you say, look to Obama. :shrug: I don't think anyone else is likely to make this a core issue. I think it would be best addressed at local and state levels, as that's where the issue arises.

Local and state? .. Been there done that. Doesn't work .. and many of the archaic laws that feed the prison/industrial complex are federal .. amny put in place by Bill Clinton.

What is needed is a president who will appoint an Attorney General who will address these issues and demonstrate to the American people how much being the greatest prison nation the world has even known is costing America in resources and image.

Slavery is still legal (13th Amendment) and practiced in this country.

But shouldn’t these sentencing discrepancies be of major concern to all Americans? My feeling is that Obama can address this, and change it, once he is elected. He would be too easily painted as soft on crime if he did it now, by your friends. But, if afterwards, he spent some of his political capitol by going to the American people, and appealing to their basic sense of fairness, laid out the case for structural sentencing changes, using the disparity between crack cocaine and cocaine sentences as his example, I think they would back it. It should be done his first year in office.

You got it Darla , hes got to get elected first.

There are many things he can do once hes in office. He will have the platform to present the evidence to the American people without the idiots bullshit the republicans will try and confuse the issue with if he were to try and flesh it out now.

Hes got to get elected on the major issues people are concerned with right now.

I have no doubt he and the democrats will attack this issue as well as others given enough votes in congress.

Most blacks that are incarcerated are found guilty on federal charges? Politicians from Chicago, sure.
 
Kathianne said:
No, I wasn't being facetious. Is it your contention that the majority of black incarcerations are federally based?

No, my contention is that many who are locked up are locked away on federal charges .. and that the federal Justice Department sets the standards and tone for much of what happens on the state and local levels.

Look no further than the Clinton Adminstration and what they brought to the courts in the way of mandatory sentencing and their "crackdown" on drug users .. make that minority drug users.
 
Poor people get locked up for the stupidest shit. Watching Cops and Inside American Jail shows make me puke.
 
It is by far my number one issue.

My distant second issue is checking the ever-growing expansion of the federal government, of which I see the Drug War as a symptom.

But in this case the symptom is so serious it should be treated first before we get to the root of the problem.

Every day men and women are being stripped of their suffrage, their freedom and their dignity just so some politician in Bumfuck, Iowa can go home and tell his constituents how "hard on crime" he is.
