al sharpton on CNBC now,the injustice of more blacks in prison today than were slaves

how does this guy have a tv show on msnbc? They're in jail bc they committed crimes plain and simple, they're not in jail bc they're black. This was all after he rambled on about how obamacare wasn't costing people jobs when we all know people are getting hours cut down and companies are shedding workers to get under the threshold. He openly calls republicans racist on national tv, how is this allowed.

I want to punch him in the face. Turn it on so we can learn of the injustice of why so many blacks are in jail, its clearly jails fault and not the fact they did a crime

 

lol he just laid the big stats on.....1 in 106 white men go to jail for drugs while 1 in 15 blacks go to jail for drugs.....then he laid the big one white kids are 8x more likely to use cocaine....therefore more of them should be in jail

lol.....

 

they commit crimes bc they're poor and want money so they steal, they sell drugs, they prostitute their body.....crime is for the most part about money.

unless its murder or vandalism

 

haha bc they're uneducated and can't make money like the rest of us...legally

 

bc it's a cycle....poor people are usually uneducated and don't stress it on their kids so they create a cycle of failure while rich people educate their kids and make sure their kids grow up and become successful. I went to private school my whole life and I can't think of 1 of my high school friends who didn't finish college and get a good job.

 

so less full time jobs replaced with more part time jobs is a good thing? Im sure you'd be thrilled if you went from 40 to 29 hrs so that another american can be given a job!

Again Im just enjoying all this talk, my income is great, im not really affected bc im my own boss and I run a pretty large ATM network, I have 41 machines right now and my income isn't really affected by all this political stuff bc im mostly in gas stations and nightclubs, but its just funny watching all this debate......look i want to help poor people get educated, but i want it done in a different way besides higher taxes on me for wasteful government spending.

I do believe in educating the poor.....but it also starts with their parents when they're kids....honestly i see no way out, the cycle will continue

 

I get it blacks go to jail more often than whites even though whites do more drugs. Wonderful, maybe whites don't get caught by cops who are stereotyping, whatever the reason is, blacks aren't in jail bc they're black, they're in jail bc they're criminals. The wealthy will always get off, white or black, so the issue may be poor whites might be getting off at a higher clip, but maybe they're not even being arrested, either way there is no reason to make it sound like blacks are being unfairly judged. The ones in jail did a crime and are now doing the time.
