MSNBC Guest: Black Men In Jail Because Of “Racist Criminal Justice System, Racist Law Enforcement, Racist Education System, Racist Health Care System”…




Oh, and “white supremacy.”

Via RCP:


KING: The high incarceration rates are really just another example and symptom of institutional racism and white supremacy. The reason you’re seeing so many young black men in jail now is the confluence of racist criminal justice system, racist law enforcement, racist education system, racist health care system, and these things are racist and classist, and the two are intertwined. So, I feel like the reason that you’re seeing those high incarceration rates besides the draconian drug laws are just a confluence of, the confluence of white supremacy really.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Do you think that police officers do stop-and-frisk or any other kind of exercise in order to capture young men on drug charges?

KING: I think that they do it, the police do stop-and-frisk I think to get them in the system and to really to infect our minds and to make us believe that that’s where we belong and that this is the way we should be treated.

A NEIGHBORHOOD IN FEAR

By the summer of 2011, Twin Lakes was experiencing a rash of burglaries and break-ins. Previously a family-friendly, first-time homeowner community, it was devastated by the recession that hit the Florida housing market, and transient renters began to occupy some of the 263 town houses in the complex. Vandalism and occasional drug activity were reported, and home values plunged. One resident who bought his home in 2006 for $250,000 said it was worth $80,000 today.

At least eight burglaries were reported within Twin Lakes in the 14 months prior to the Trayvon Martin shooting, according to the Sanford Police Department. Yet in a series of interviews, Twin Lakes residents said dozens of reports of attempted break-ins and would-be burglars casing homes had created an atmosphere of growing fear in the neighborhood.

In several of the incidents, witnesses identified the suspects to police as young black men. Twin Lakes is about 50 percent white, with an African-American and Hispanic population of about 20 percent each, roughly similar to the surrounding city of Sanford, according to U.S. Census data.

Ignoring the fact that until recently sentencing laws demanded it, we can focus on the fact that crack cocaine is more associated with violent crime. That and Powder cocaine was never an epidemic that turned inner city in to war zones.

Coke whores blow rich dudes in strip clubs
Crack whores sell their babies.

There is a difference.
