I wish Trump weren’t bragging about releasing convicted felons early. People who want that are Democrats by nature.

To me the question is have they served a sentence that is sufficient to their crime? Serving 20-25 years on a drug rap while people who take a human life routinely serve 7 makes no sense.

It isn’t just that it makes no sense, but the fundamental injustice of that - and that the black community is FAR more affected by that than any other ethnic group, thanks to the ‘94 Crime Bill - is noticed, trust me. Minority groups are extremely sensitive to that kind of differential treatment - I am Jewish, and we notice things like that all of the time; it is part and parcel of being in a minority (and, of course, in this country the experiences of the black community over time and at present are FAR worse on balance than that of Jews - so they are likely to be extremely sensitive to issues like this).

While I do agree that most people don’t view felons...with positive thinking... I agree that this particular issue is indeed based upon the black community being hit with sentences that are much harsher than the while community.

I abhor drugs that harm folks. It really rubbed me wrong with Bidden associating white or non-black folks doing cocaine as being safer than folks in the black community doing crack.

A person of any race should be judged equally and if sent to jail/prison, should be sentenced equally.

I truly hope the black community backs Pres Trump in the voting booth.
