“Huh? Nobody deserves to be a slave. Plenty of people deserve to be in prison.”
Ok but 40% (??) of young black men ‘deserve’ to land in prison at some point?
I’d say violent offenders deserve prison. Of course.
I’d say some other folks (burglars, etc) deserve prison. Of course.
But some 18yo black kid caught with drugs on him? They throw him in jail for a couple years, and what’s the end result? Is that guy sitting in jail for 2 years ‘Better than slavery?’
If we gave that kid a choice of spending those 2 years outdoors vs. remaining locked in 7’ cube, which would he choose?
I think each prisoner would need to decide for himself how enamored he was of sitting in a cell.
Now that we have Eric Holder springing everybody from jail, I guess this debate will be moot.
I think you’ve actually bought into this “blacks are victims” myth.
But before you go on to explain how poor little Trayvon was just walking home with candy and iced tea, may I remind you this is not the DUmp?
If anything there aren’t enough young blacks in prison. They get away with far more crimes than whites do.
How’s that grab you?
