Too Many Black People in Prison -- And Other Fairy Tales
American Thinker ^ | 10/12/2015 | Colin Flaherty

Posted on 10/12/2015 7:33:13 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The great and powerful Leo Strine figured it all out: Too many black people are spending too much time in prison.

Strine should know: He is Chief Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court.  Strine is heading a commission of black history professors, public defenders, diversity officers, ACLU staffers and others to set this right.


Their mission: Figure out why cops keep arresting, prosecutors keep prosecuting, juries keep convicting, and judges keep sending so many black people to prison for No Reason What So Ever.

And why black people keep returning to prison once they are let out.

Not just in Delaware but around the country.

The biggest newspaper in Delaware went all in to help solve this mystery.

“Strine said the goal is to find common sense solutions to address the racial disproportions that clearly exist in the system. About 22 percent of the state's residents are black, but nearly 6 in 10 inmates in Delaware's prisons are black, according to 2014 statistics from the Department of Correction.

"The most urgent justice issue we have is the continuing inequality in society," Strine said.

In Strine’s world, either lots and lots of black people are in jail for no reason. Or lots and lots of white people belong in jail, but get away with murder — and burglary and assault and shootings and stealing cars and lots of other crimes.

The solution to the both scenarios is easy enough:  Rustle up the victims, videos, witnesses, police reports, 911 calls and other evidence so Strine can free the wrongly imprisoned and imprison the unjustly free.

If racist cops, judges and juries are not doing their jobs, at least produce a few dozen victims. They should be easy to find.

I’ve been doing background checks for almost 25 years. I can tell you that there’s good reason a lot of them are in prison and a lot of it has nothing o do with drug dealing.

In concert with Obama’s global goal to ‘balance things’
I was flying this weekend. There aren’t enough black travelers at airports (excluding workers of course). Watch for Obama to direct a ‘free flights’ for non-whites to solve this issue.
I heard a few months back that federal monies are going to send non-white families for free, on cruises as there is no color balance on cruise lines either.

“It made my heart ache, you know, to see all these beautiful black men in the joint. The warriors should be out there helping the masses. I felt that way, I was real naive. Six weeks I was up there and I talked to the brothers. I talked to ‘em, and ... THANK GOD WE GOT PENITENTIARIES!”

-Richard Pryor

Based on the crime stats, there’s not enough in prison.

Since blacks commit crimes at high rates still, there are not enough blacks in prison!

I thought 40% in prison were criminals and the other 60% were Politicians

There are too many people who commit crimes in prison.
We should let them out.

Oh, wait, Obama just did.

Is Strine concerned that 90% of the NBA is black while 70% of the country is white? Seems like he would want a more balanced NBA, right?

What we need is not fewer inmates but more prisons to keep repeat offenders off the streets, out of our homes, businesses and any other place they can commit their crimes.

In your experience is it more Family breakup - no father present or as much or more Cultural, generational “identity” situation “black enough” and Victimology “opportunists”?

Look forward to your insights...

God Bless

Zero wants a full bloom race war as an excuse to initiate Marshal Law..releasing blacks helps the cause. Easier to confiscate guns under the darkness of curfew.
