Holder Seen as a Chance To Right Racial Wrongs

*snip*

This week, Eric H. Holder Jr.'s swearing-in as the nation's first black attorney general and its top law enforcement official came weighted with heavy expectation that the system could change.

*snip*

"The most important thing is that we have a person who gets it," said Benjamin Jealous, president of the NAACP. "He understands that the purpose of incarceration is not just punishment and protection but it is also redemption. He understands that people shouldn't be targeted because of what they look like but because of what they do. He understands that enforcing civil rights serves the interest of law enforcement. It's not about what he looks like, it's about what he believes."


Of course, the NAACP (the most racist organization in the US) is going to make a big deal out of the first BLACK AG.   :whatever:

Or, more realistically, to impose a whole new and different set of them.

They should be targeted because of 'what they do'. Ok...wtf does that mean? Once a charge is brought against someone with such and such a name, the police are not allowed to look at his picture and say he's a white/black/hispanic male/female? When asking people to describe the individual, they are not allowed to describe a huge outer variable that makes it easier for the police to find a suspect? Jesus Christ! A descriptor when used as a tool is not inherently racist. I have a suggestion since we know the AG is talking about AA's. How about their neighborhoods be more willing to dole out the names of the criminals in their midst instead of clamming up so the police can rely on an actual name and not have to drill every 19 year old black male in a pair of SouthPole jeans when doing a search?  :thatsright: Part of the problem lies with this community or any community that has an inherent distrust of law enforcement and empowers their criminal elements to the point that the inner city and many rural communities do.


I'm so sick of race baiting pos like this. They hinder justice and often times it's justice that is thwarted against another AA. Don't like hte #s of AA's in jail, start addressing the deep community issues that make it more likely for an AA teen to get involved in criminal activity because as far as I see it with public everything and colleges littered all over cities, there really is not lack of opportunity of moving ahead, so there is a values issue in lower socio economic communities in the cities whether they be latino, white, or black. One of the few people I ever heard get real about that reality was Bill Cosby and people like the new AG balked at even the mere mention of inadequacies in child rearing in the black community in particular but lower socio economice communities in general.

Hi5 Jtyangel

Ditto on the Hi5.........the first by me.

Just what our school system needs more excuses for the black kids to behave badly.

3 black gang members jumped a white honors student and beat him bloody today at my sons school....no other reason than he's a smart white kid. The 3 blacks got 5 days in-school suspension, the white boy got 5 days out-of-school suspension. 1/2 hour later 2 more black boys jumped another white honors student for "eat'n cheese" (old term, ain't it) on the first fights 3 black boys. Son says his nose was bloody as all get out and may be broked, cut over one eye and some other injuries.....same punishment in-school for the blacks, out-of-school suspension for the white boy....keep in mind these are eighth graders 13-14 year olds.

At the rate things are going there may well be race riots around here soon.....except this time they will be in reverse.

Sounds like it's about time to tell the Pinicipal "So much for you stupid administrative school penalties, I'm making a criminal complaint about the gangsters."  He's also flirting with with a lawsuit, since he's a government official and there appears to be a little Equal Protection problem with a racial underpining.
I suppose it's pointless to ask if the Principal is a Liberal....

The principal is a white female.......weak one at that. The black students have been testing the bounds ever since Obama started campaigning. It's gotten worse since he was elected. The black female principal they had died last year of cancer. She could handle the blacks alright. ...and the white ones. It'll probably be worse next year when the son moves into high school. The majority there is black.

Um. Wouldn't totally ignoring the first Hispanic AG and the First TWO Black Secretaries of State be racial wrongs?

Eh, from the liberal perspective, those happened under a Rethuglican White House and therefore were just "tokens".
