Southern Coalition for Social Justice senior staff attorney Daryl Atkinson appeared Saturday as a guest on MSNBC’s “Melissa Harris-Perry” to talk President Obama’s executive order to “ban the box,” which refers to the section on a job application for criminal history.

According to Atkinson, people with a criminal background “face legal discrimination in many areas of life”

“The president’s action on Monday really affirms values that we hold dear in this country. Values like inclusion and equal opportunity for all people because people with records face legal discrimination in many areas of life. The 65 million Americans, one in three adult Americans, that have criminal record history, face barriers in employment, housing, education; even volunteering in their children’s school.”

“Because African-Americans and Latinos are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system, it results in the social and economic exclusion similar to the Jim Crow South,” he added

I can think of a whole lot of crimes women would love to know about when meeting that new hunk.

You have no idea how true that is.

Does this idiot Atikeson want a child molester living next to her children or grandchildren? Does she want an embezzler to be her banker? Does she want a drug dealer to be her pharmacist? Does she want a doper to be in charge of drug enforcement? Does she want a man with a known history of violence against society to be a cop? Does she want the school bus driver to have a history of multiple DUIs? Does she want the criminally insane to be the pilot on her next airplane trip? Does she want a convicted sexual pervert to be her gynecologist? The last one could get very interesting.

Liberalism is a cancer on society just as criminals are a cancer on society.

This is nothing new. The left pulled the race card in support of letting criminals get away with murder in the past. They are just doing it again.

Good one.

That’s out there on a limb, but if Obama blocks criminal access, imagine your daughter going out with a man who has served years for a violent rape.

No thanks...

Can’t say as women would know today either.

I try to tell them everything I’ve every done that was bad when things get serious. Then there are no surprises.

There are a log of guys out there that believe lying and deceit is the only way to go.

Wonder how many convicted felons they have working at MSNBC?

God bless you... your time was well spent and i thank you.

unfortunately, it's widespread now days now days to simply toss CV's with large gaps even with a valid reason such as yours before you get a chance to say you were raising children

Yo, Daryl.
Hello!
Life is supposed to be a bit tougher when you commit crimes that harm other people for your own personal ends. (Excepted, of course, is the political elite class.)
It's called a deterrent, dummy.

Notice how the word used is discrimination, not prejudice. They cannot use prejudice because this is post justice. No one is mentioning paid their debt to society, because many times the time served is only part of the sentence and if it is a monetary fine or restitution they are not considered by those with a liberal attitude about crime.
