Warren at black university: Criminal justice system ‘racist’

Speaking Friday at a historically black university, potential Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren delivered what she called “the hard truth about our criminal justice system: It’s racist … I mean front to back.”

The Massachusetts senator identified some of the system’s failures: disproportionate arrests of African-Americans for petty drug possession; an overloaded public defender system; and state laws that keep convicted felons from voting even after their sentences are complete.

Warren was participating in a Q&A session hosted by Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Cedric Richmond at the historically black Dillard University in New Orleans.

She was among several possible Democratic White House contenders who spoke Friday at Netroots Nation, an annual conference for progressives. She was the only leading Democrat to appear at Dillard.

The stop is the latest sign of Warren’s effort to forge ties beyond her largely white political base in Massachusetts and avoid the fate of fellow progressive icon Bernie Sanders, who struggled to win over African-Americans during his failed bid for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. …

Warren at black university: Criminal justice system ‘racist’

If in fact racism plays a role in the [U.S.] criminal justice system, that is only one of two related and necessary observations.

The other is...
The disproportional Criminal behavior of subcultures in the U.S. is also racist.
Q.E.D.

That both phenomena track inversely should be no great surprise.

EVERYBODY is just plain stupid.

The way to solve this Race & Gender BS is to elect a Black President, who has a Black Attorney General and names a Female Secretary of State.

(Also, for the ‘fun factor’ throw in a DUMB VEEP and replace the Woman with a DUMBER White Male)

Try it you will see that is the ONLY answer.

Maybe NEXT TIME she will go to a WHITE University.

All these answers are just sitting there, waiting to be put into effect.

She's white. Did she explain to the black students how she lied about having American Indian heritage in order to benefit from hiring preferences for non-whites?

Did Warren encourage the white students present to lie about their heritage too, perhaps by pretending to be black? I'm sure the black students would have been very interested to hear that.

Mostly from the European Union. Just take note of which countries there Obama regarded as his biggest allies.

So the prosecutors are racist? The defense attorneys are racist? The juries selected are racist? And the judges and the penal code itself too?! Wow. What are we going to do?

Yes, the criminal justice system is racist - it locks up black criminals who would much prefer to be free to continue to prey on the rest of us. These days, that’s ‘racist.’.

I wonder what the average IQ is among the attendees.

This time next year is going to be very interesting.
