Leftist lawyer Benjamin Crump calls for crime to be legalized because it's just part of black culture

Who needs the Klan when there are guys like left-wing lawyer Benjamin Crump doing what it does better?

According to Fox Business host Charles Payne: [Video and X-post at link]

The video, which has an MSNBC badge below it, and was probably made in 2024, features Crump, who represented George Floyd and Trayvon Martin in their race-baiting cases, shooting cue balls on a pool table with the Rev. Al Sharpton and a couple other men, waxing philosophical between pool shots:

"We can get rid of all the crime in America, overnight, just like that ... change the definition of crime. If you get to define what conduct is going to be made criminal, you can predict who the criminal's going to be."

Which doesn't sound very charitable to the black people he purportedly represents.

Last we heard, black people dislike crime at least as much as other crime victims and don't care what the color of the perpetrator is. After all, they are most often the victims of violent crime, and the sad story is, most of it comes from black criminals.

While Crump cites the case of "loosey cigarettes" as his argument -- there had been a case on Staten Island where someone resisting arrest for selling "looseys" was overly restrained and died, the broader statement is that if one can magically end the definition of crime for all criminal acts, then all the murders, robberies, rapes, carjackings, drug dealings and other violent offenses would go away, because the word would be gone.

This is pretty much the counter-factual claim of the Left.


Crime is created by the police, the courts, and the “system”.

To the Left, no one is really responsible for anything they do.

Except of course, for “enemies of the people” who are “responsible” for all the ills of the world. Whether they intend to be or not.

“I don’t know what it is, but black people just do not want to do what they’re told by police,”

Black children learn early on that if you do what someone else tells you to do, then you’re their “bitch.” Throw into that view the other thing they’re taught, which is racism and being a victim and you get men who culturally are prevented from cooperating with authority.

I was talking to an employee at the local YMCA. They had a number of programs for small black children. She told me that they only hired blacks to watch the black children because the black boys would not do anything a white told them to do. But black boys were terrified of black men fearing that if they disobeyed, they’d get the “tar beat out of them.”

And shooting criminals/thugs with HIGH-caliber (anything starting with a 4) firearms is part of WESTERN culture, Ben.

You keep YOUR culture, we’ll keep OURS.

Fair trade?

It's an old theory. Decades ago, Black Studies professor Leonard Jeffries invented the notion that evolution created Sun People and Ice People.

Sun People evolved in climates where food was abundant and free. They just picked it off the ground, even someone had already taken it and put it in their hut. Nobody cared, because food was abundant, and so no concept of "ownership" or "property" developed.

Ice People evolved in harsh climates, where food was scare and hard to obtain. So people selfishly hoarded food, and developed concepts of property.

Sun People are by nature generous, open, honest, friendly and gregarious.

Ice People are by nature selfish, hostile, territorial and secretive.

Crump is a well known ambulance chaser-type shyster who shows up every time there is a black person shot by police. He showed up in Akron once, thinking the black victim was shot by a white guy. When he found out the perp was black too, he just packed up and left town. Wasn’t interested.

So, culture is the basis of legality? I can think of lots of white things the blacks would not want whites to do to them, but, hey, it is their culture to want to be prosperous, safe, and build a society blacks want to destroy.

Soros DAs have already refused to prosecute blacks for crimes on the books. CA raised the limit of shop lifting to $900. With no consequences soft on crime policies set off a nation wide black crime wave. Violent felons in particular went on a rampage. The left considers victims of crimes as collateral damage. All this to avoid the question, “Why is such a large percentage of prison inmates black?”

“I wonder if he realizes that a world without crime is a world without lawyers?”

That crossed my mind as well....which shows his level of his intellect.

BTW a fun fact.....he went to Florida State University. SMH

“the black boys would not do anything a white told them to do”

I believe it. And those kids weren’t born with that behavior....it was taught by someone.

These people are loons. Simply they are Marxists in mind and body, indoctrinated from birth by Marxist-leftist mothers and fathers. They are just as bad as the muslim radical gee-hodists animals who rape and murder from birth. You take a small child and hammer this Marxist ideology or murdering muslim animal ideology of rape and murder, into their young minds from birth and by age 6 or 7 they are radicalized for life. Nearly impossible to bring them back to a normal mind. If they are not raised from a very young age to me normal human beings, then, there you have your radicalized Marxist or muslim murdering animal for life. With little chance of change of habits. Just my thoughts on it.
