Many people think the drug war, you know, has been targeted at violent offenders or aimed at rooting out drug kingpins, but nothing could be further from the truth. Local and state law enforcement agencies get rewarded for the sheer numbers of drug arrests. And federal drug forfeiture laws allow state and local law enforcement officials to keep 80 percent of the cash, cars, homes that they seize from suspected drug offenders, granting to law enforcement a direct monetary interest in the profitability and longevity in the drug war.

:scusthov:
We need more people like Ms. Alexander to spread the truth:salute:

I consider The New Jim Crow as essential reading if you're Black in America.


finally found a picture of the husband she said who does not share her views.....Obama nominated him for US attorney for southern district of ohio so that right away is a sign he isn't good

:scusthov: at this dude when his wife looks ready to shed crocodile tears in every interview she does

she probably did vote for obama in 2012...... You wanted to say fukk him, but considering options I can't blame anyone.


i simply chose not to participate, but I feel voting for him was probably the right thing to do.

I kept thinking Obama wanted to actually decriminalize and do something big but either wanted to have laws like the "American jobs act" passed and other actual jobs bills along with immigration reform.

in short basically I got the feeling he did not expect at this point in his presidency to have only done health care pretty much.....and did not want to just decriminalize now

man I don't know.....

the one thing I gotta say about barack is that unlike Reagan and Clinton(black folks love to slurp up this dude just cause of the economy and act like he wasn't horrible with the drug war) he did not actually fight for new legislation to continue the drug war.....

yeah as michelle told us in her book we know about the federal grant that gives money to law enforcement to tackle the drug war but as she herself said in the book I think it was primarily to not make law enforcement lose jobs in the middle of an economic crisis....

but yeah right now im thinking he wants to make all these other economic bills, immigration, gun control to become laws before he focuses on decriminilazation .....

I hope im right :to:

he tackled gay rights first.

lol, that should tell u everything, along with him changing his stance on Israeli settlements.

He has really had too many good ideas for the economy - just letting big banks be big banks and continuing the trickle down politics of the 80's.

He's focusing on gun control - when the guns aren't even the issue there.

jesus don't tell me your one of those people.... :snoop:

guns ARE the issue...don't come in here with no "buu...butt Chicago has some of the strictest gun control"

Chicago also has some of the weakest sentencing laws and gun trafficking is not even a felony in the country(a big reason) which is one of the things they wanted to change

also its the states around Illinois that have the weak gun laws where folks can just get guns....the same way folks in ny can go to Virginia to get guns easier.....

your underestimating how much universal background checks would change everything also....

that and the things I am mentioning above....this is gonna be Obamacare 2.0 with people oonce again not learning and being surprised they were wrong again and the actual bill ends up working

don't come in here with no "bu...butt its a mental health issue not a gun issue"

Yall see how she is crossing her legs :takedat:
she needs help though. she's like the only one in the mainstream doing this. barack and eric holder ain't doing sh1t.
she could've used johnny cochran's help but they killed him.

she's trying to fuq with the p.i.c. money and they'll get her too and black ppl won't notice.
