Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave the most substantive speech of her nascent presidential campaign so far on Wednesday.
In her address at Columbia University, Clinton called for a major overhaul in the US criminal justice system. She repeatedly lambasted "the mass incarceration that we currently practice" and overly punitive, "arbitrary" criminal statutes, which she said result in racial discrimination.
"There is something profoundly wrong when African-American men are still far more likely to be stopped and searched by police, charged with crimes, and sentenced to longer prison terms than are meted out to their white counterparts. There is something wrong when a third of all black men face the prospect of prison during their lifetimes," Clinton said. "We have allowed our criminal justice system to get out of balance and these recent tragedies should galvanize us to come together as a nation to find our balance again."

The World's Smartest Woman chose her first campaign speech to go into a full race baiting and pandering to Blacks mode!
Down with the struggle yo.
Makes you wonder who donated to her foundation to get her to say that.
So Hillary, about those substandard AIDS drugs you sold in Africa and Haiti......
Hillary - profoundly wrong when African-American men are still far more likely to be stopped and searched by police....she says this as AFRICAN-AMERICAN men are destroying Baltimore.
Didn’t Rand Paul give this same speech in Wisconsin a month ago?
there’s also a well established pattern of treasonous corruption and bribery... but we don’t seem to do anything about that either
There’s an ‘undeniable’ pattern in political corruption and the filthy rich coffers of the Clinton Family Foundation and the death count of US ambassadors.
Somebody has had some work done...
She is correct. There is an undeniable pattern in the criminalization of the black community in the US. That clear pattern is Democrat party insistence upon maintaining the black community in absolute dependence upon the Democrat party establishment.
She is not only very sick, she is very stupid.
“Undeniable pattern” - a poor choice of words that will come back to haunt her like a stain on a blue dress.
“There is something profoundly wrong when African-American men are still far more likely to be stopped and searched by police”
Yes, there is something wrong Hillary. Can you guess what that is? Hint,,,it isn’t racist cops. Walk alone through St Louis,,, no secret service, no MRAP quality van, and no notice. Just do it, and Hillary, go incognito like at the Chipotle.
DO it, I dare you.
Meanwhile, there's an un-denianable pattern of Hillary related deaths across the globe.
I think people, especially young people, are going to get tired of her “Big Bag” dresses. I’m appalled at what she wears.
If she won, I’d be embarrassed for the president. But if she won, I think it would get worse and she’d stop washing her hair and bathing.
clintoon should in a Fed Supermax rather than giving “talks” about the inadequate justice system. What a criminal...and leftist idiot.
Well, yesss— Wherever police are shot at or shoot at someone there is police involvement in a shooting. Officer range time counts in that pattern. Police seem to be involved in many those shootings, too.
You know, I don’t recall seeing her in a dress often. I always see her in a Chairman Mao style suit.
