ATLANTA — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton is using a Southern campaign swing to outline criminal justice proposals she says would treat black Americans more fairly.
The trip to Georgia and South Carolina comes as Clinton works to solidify her advantage in the African-American community over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Both candidates have called for ending mass incarceration in the United States.
In Atlanta on Friday, Clinton will call for eliminating sentencing disparities between crack cocaine crimes and powder cocaine. Clinton proposes making the change retroactive. The changes would build on a 2010 act of Congress that narrowed the disparity between crack crimes — which are concentrated among minorities — and powder crimes, which are more likely to involve whites.
Clinton’s African-American outreach has been clouded at times by political scandal, said civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, who cited her use of private email while secretary of state and the death of an American ambassador in Libya.
“Hillary was always raising the right issues, but you couldn’t hear it for the noise around the servers and the Benghazi issue,†Jackson told The Associated Press before her Friday remarks.
“Those barriers proved to be smoke and no fire,†he continued. “She’s back into another zone now.â€
Jackson’s comments are meaningful given his longstanding ties to Clinton and Sanders, her chief rival. Sanders endorsed both of Jackson’s presidential bids in 1984 and 1988.
Clinton on Friday also will propose a legal ban on racial profiling by police. The policy would forbid federal, state and local officers from “relying on a person’s race when conducting routine or spontaneous investigatory activities,†unless they have information linking a suspect to a crime. The campaign has not yet released details explaining how Clinton’s idea would go beyond existing law. . .

Blacks kill more blacks...and drugs are often involved...keep’n the slaves on the Plantation...that’s her goal
We should just Her and her ilk The Pander Bears...
Like a really bad reality cartoon...
is that an oxymoron??
I know she is, no one can be hat much of a moron unless their brain has been deprived of oxygen for too long...
The only fair policy is to stop arresting Black People altogether in atonement for the excess number of them that have been arrested in the past.
Because criminal activity and sentencing is the thing black people care about most.
Now is the time to hit them with the thug culture and how unsafe we are with RATS.
Wow. Lotta people gonna die.
They released 6000 people today.
Seems unreal how she will be supported no matter what for the sake of a having a famous name.
[Now is the time to hit them with the thug culture and how unsafe we are with RATS.]
“Law and Order” is a theme embraced by most Americans despite their ideology. Nixon and later Reagan both used lawlessness as a vital issue.
Suspect arrested in string of St. Louis area church arsons.
Police have made an arrest in connection with a two-week string of church arsons, most of which occurred at places of worship in black neighborhoods, the Post-Dispatch has learned. The suspect is a black man in his 30s, according to a police source.

These scum truly make me sick...

Why? She already has the black vote - if she can get them to show up.
One of Albuquerque's finest died yesterday from one of Obama's sons who had previously killed someone but was out of jail nonetheless. Second ABQ area policeman killed by felons this year.
Officer Daniel Webster dies (2nd ABQ area officer since May)
I would really like Hillary to explain what she means by “ending mass incarceration in the United States”.
“noways”!!!!
[I would really like Hillary to explain what she means by “ending mass incarceration in the United Statesâ€.]
I think the last mass incarceration was a Democrat president’s imprisoning thousands of Japanese-Americans while greedy cronies swooped in and bought up their businesses and real estate at fire sale prices.
Her proposal: No arresting any blacks for anything, anywhere, any time. No conviction of any blacks for anything, anywhere, any time. No incarceration of any blacks for anything, anywhere, any time. Release all currently incarcerated blacks because they are political prisoners. That should get her 100% of the black ghetto / hood vote.
