"We’re being locked away in a mass incarceration epidemic that is as bad as the Jewish holocaust."
Dr. Boyce Watkins, in a commentary criticizing rap star Jay-Z for his disrespect of Harry Belafonte, made the above remark when lambasting Jay-Z for not doing more for the black community.
I am sickened that someone can compare the attempted extermination of an entire group of people to the consequences of criminal actions leading to imprisonment. Not a soul commented on that passage via the website (which I stumbled across through a Facebook "friend.")

I knew GWB had a hand in this somehow.
“We’re being locked away in a mass incarceration epidemic that is as bad as the Jewish holocaust.”
Fortunately for you being an idiot is not an offense to get locked up for. Comparing innocent Jews being gathered from their homes placed in cattle cars and taken to gas chambers with CRIMINALS, arrest for a crime, given a jury trial and after being convicted sent to a prison is asinine to the nth degree....
The blacks that cry racisim and plead that they are being persecuted, imprisoned and what ever “bad” happens to them is all the fault of “whitey” are too dumb to realize that they cause their own problems. We put people in prison for commiting crimes, not for their race. There are thousands of whites in prison as well for BREAKING THE LAWS. Until the blacks can get a grasp on what the cause is for their being incarcerated, they will continus filling the prisons. Stop breaking the laws. NO MORE WHINING, WAKE UP!
Get a clue, Dr. Watkins. They are not in jail for being black; they are in jail for their BEHAVIOR. In the Holocaust the Jews were enslaved, assaulted and murdered just for being Jews. There’s a big effin’ difference!
Guys like you pi$$ me off to no end!
Plenty of adult males are around, just no biological fathers. And welfare programs are the root cause behind the missing biological fathers.
He really was a communist, and most blacks like that. They like the Hierarchy stuff. They will climb all over each other to get the top of pile, and it is sort of expected.
After Coleman made all Whites feel uncomfortable about being in the city- there was a “renaissance” (Hence the Renaissance center), but there wasn’t enough money there to support all of that- they were always dumping tons of money into trying to get the Suburbanites to come back and spend money.
Those were actually some fun years. We had lots of cultural events and the F1 race was fun. Greek town had great bars and and shops. That was when there were Americans (from the suburbs) in the city, in huge groups, so it was fun. But there was always an air of “us and them” looming around. Not two different skin colors- two different cultures.
Communists and Americans.
At non event times, we felt more comfortable amount the people, going across the border into Windsor!
In the end, it was the communism that killed the Motor City.
Agreed.
To avoid car-jackings, we are told to lock our doors, and many new cars lock automatically now. I don’t think even a compromise will work on this one.
You have a duty to retreat.
Being a Jew was a crime to the Nazis. So by being born a Jew they were guilty of that crime and sentenced to death by the Nazis.
Watkins clearly infers that the American justice system is incarcerating blacks unjustly as a way of slowly exterminating them. A convenient and outrageous lie to excuse the harsh reality that black Americans are choosing violent crime, drug use, promiscuity and irresponsibility that has little to do with the 'racism' they constantly try to blame for their failures.
Unfortunately, blacks seem to love being told they are helpless victims of overpowering white racism, thus absolving them of responsibility for almost anything negative that results from their own poor life choices. That, of course, simply becomes a vicious cycle that keeps blacks in poverty, on the dole or in jail. Its tragic but with the concept of racial victimization pretty much ossified into the black culture, I see no real change in the near future no matter what white people do or say or how much taxpayer money is thrown at the black communities.
Okay. Release all the black thugs right back into the neighborhoods they came from. Sooner or later decent black Americans need to stand up and call out their liberal Democrat brothers and sisters. Of course, if they still vote with them, what’s the difference? (shrug) So.... Who cares? Just relesae them all.
what don’t people compare to to holocaust
All due to ignorance and historical illiteracy.
Where are we pulling black great grandmothers out of their homes, torturing them and then killing them? Hmm? That’s what happened to mine.
It’s obscene to make parallels to the Holocaust, but it seems that those wishing to compete in the “who’s the biggest victim” sweepstakes just can’t resist it.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Yes, going to jail because your are a convicted criminal is the exact same as being murdered by the millions for simply existing.
What? They’re doing mass gassings? They’re taking you to jail in cattle cars? They’re incinerating the bodies and making soap of them? And even worse, they’re limiting conjugal visits to only one girl friend.
