WASHINGTON Author and political activist Cornel West told an audience that the criminal justice system in America is criminal itself, calling out JP Morgan president/CEO Jamie Dimon.
The criminal justice system in America is itself criminal. Youve got Wall Street criminals walking free, sipping tea at the White House. Jamie Dimon, we might as well call names, said West during a speech and book signing at Busboys & Poets in Washington on Thursday.
What does he do? He basically negotiates how much he wants to pay given his criminality and then writes it off as a tax write-off. And Jamal gets caught with a crack bag. Latisha gets caught with marijuana and shes off to jail thats a crime against humanity, West also said.
The former Princeton University professor slammed the federal governments use of drones overseas.
Drones are dropping bombs on innocent people as if a baby in Somalia or Pakistan doesnt have the same status and significance as a baby in Washington, D.C., West said. I dont care how many folks say that somehow an American baby has more value than a baby in Ethiopia or Guatemala. Its just not true. Its a lie. They all have equal value. Its a crime when you kill innocent people 500 Palestinian babies killed. Wheres the voice of indignation?
West was also critical of the National Security Agency (NSA). President Obama has said the federal government is not listening in on private phone conversations, but West begs to differ.
Wiretappers walking fee, violating the law. Of course all our phones are tapped. I know mine is. I just sing a little Curtis Mayfield, no thing on me. Im so glad Ive got my own. So glad that I can see. My life is a natural high.
