Nikole Hannah-Jones slams Rev. Al Sharpton over his stance on brazen NYC thefts

New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones blasted the Rev. Al Sharpton on Wednesday for taking a get-tough stance on New York shoplifting — dismissing the crime wave as no big deal and suggesting that the longtime liberal activist was now backing the “carceral state.”

Hannah-Jones, who spearheaded the controversial “1619 Project,” made the comments after Sharpton called on Mayor Eric Adams to stop surging thefts in the wake of The Post’s exclusive story of a Trader Joe’s shoplifter who made off with 10 steaks.

But you know there is a problem in the country when Sharpton is starting to look moderate compared to the mainstream left.

Donlt know what “carceral state” is supposed to mean. But if it is the opposite of crime ridden cities then I’m willing to give it a try.

The globalist billionaires are the ones who promote and finance the whole white supremacist/systemic racism narrative. The ordinary people who show up for these protests and buy in to this fake rhetoric are just the useful idiots and paid lackeys.

Don't get your hopes up. They'll get on the same page by nightfall.

It must have to do with incarceration. You know, locking up criminals who break the law.

The carceral state also refers to “logics, ideologies, practices, and structures” that result in “punitive orientations to difference.”

Criminalization refers to processes that treat somebody, or a group of people, as though they are criminals even if their actions are not illegal.

We have been in a carceral state since 6 January 2021.

Americans have been locked up for exercising their first and second amendment rights.

Even Putin says this was/is wrong!
