“I also think you are mischaracterizing his stance on his attempt to reform the penal system. I give him credit for starting the conversation.”
I DO NOT. Saying that our system is RACIST because a higher percentage of blacks are jailed is playing right into SHARPTON’S hands.
I also don’t appreciate being called a RACIST because I support Voter ID.
If Paul said that about Voter ID, he is wrong. I have not seen that quote.
Regarding the justice system, Paul said this in his speech:
“I see an America where criminal justice is applied equally and any law that disproportionately incarcerates people of color is repealed.”
I assumed he meant that some lengthy mandatory incarceration laws (which may disproportionally affect black people) should be repealed (such as certain minor drug possession crimes which can result in lengthy federal prison sentences). I don’t know exactly what he meant; I’m guessing. I do give him credit, though, for trying to reform the penal system. I think it does need work.
