If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
These people are overwhelmingly drug addicts, high-school dropouts, or both - in an era of vast underemployment and even unemployment among college graduates in the U.S. Many are aliens not even legally eligible to work in the U.S. anyhow.
What crap. From what I've seen, prisons rip the economic guts out of the communities in which they're placed. Not only is valuable land taken out of the development mix, the associated tax base is lost. Spinoffs include crappy trailer parks for the guards and employees to live in, a couple of fast food joints and convenience stores to support the same low paid population, etc.
It ain't a boon.
We need fewer laws, and less jail time in general.
No mercy.

What in the wide world of sports is the "History and Consciousness" Department? Does UCSC also have a "History and Unconsciousness" Department? (I guess not, because that's where Davis ought to be teaching.)
This comes under the heading of "stopped clock is right!!"
Characteristically, Davis is unable to bolster her argument by describing the slavery inflicted upon society as a whole by the current "criminal justice system". Like most Lefties, she is uninterested in the health of "society as a whole." Lenin is reputed to have burst out crying when he heard that the czar was carrying out land reforms that benefited former serfs. I'm sure most of the soi-disant social reformers among us would have a caniption fit if any real, beneficial social reforms ever took place in their life time.
I wonder how long white Americans will continue to invest in the delusion that they can buy off the inevitable cultural "confrontation" by building more and more prisons?
Furthermore the Power Elite are intent upon removing any taint of "racism" in our incarceration practices by targetting more and more poor white men. And, of course, we all know what awaits whitey in American prisons. Luckily none of us are like those ugly red-necks. It will never happen to us.
Someone else on this thread mentioned the Carr brothers--one of whom is a graduate of what, for many black males, is their institutions of "higher" learning--prison.
But don't worry, be happy. Just like the women of Afghanistan, the people of Iraq will soon be "free at last, free at last."
And that's what really counts, isn't it?....
Crime slows the black community's progress.
Davis urged people to do more to create a better environment outside of prison to eliminate the need for incarceration
Biblical justice eliminates the need for penitentiaries. Crimes against persons are punished eye for eye, tooth for tooth, life for life. Crimes against property are punished with restition, or indentured labor (for a limited term) if one is unable to pay the debt. Crimes against God (blasphemy, sodomy, adultery, etc) are punished by death. Perjury is punished by giving the false accuser, what the falsely accused would have received.
Simple, elegant, cheap. Who needs prisons?
Worth repeating.
The sole encouraging result from Downeast Maine on Tuesday was the voter refusal to fund the building of a prison.
(Unfortunately, it was the only thing they refused to fund.)
She can't find anything positive in this? Black married couples making over $50,000 aren't the same people going to prison either. She seems to lump all blacks together.
The Civil War accelerated the industrialization of the North--that's true. But vast areas of the North were still largely agrarian and without the "investment" in human slaves were, technically, "poorer" than the South.
It was, in the main, FARMBOYS from the midwest who vanquished the South.
You've fallen prey to the common marxist analysis of the war--strangely, a favorite analysis of modern "Southern Nationalists"....
