Adolf Trump's Transition Team Confirms Pick of Racist Senator Jeff Sessions for AG Nomination...

But but Hillary said superpredators

I mean if u just wanna bring up a single word yet ignore a whole bill and what it did then thats on u

I mean if you just want to ignore historical context and the 235 indivuals of Congress WHO ACTUALLY VOTED for the Bill (including Bernie Sanders and the majority of the Black Caucus), than that's on you ...

It's easy to use omniceint hindsight while singling out ONE person for one of the most destructive pieces of legislation of our generation.

But if you think about it .. it doesent make a lot of sense to do so.

The 1994 Crime Bill was not this evil plan designed, development and implemented solely by Hilary Clinton to reign untold destruction on the black community.

Cmon, bruh.

That old pasty bitch is not an All Powerful Super Villan

Not blaming hillary solely. It was a bipartisan bill. My issue with her is not this bill alone. The point of my comment was not to just highlight "super predator" and ignore the context of it. Thats all.

bitch is still evil tho

MANY people on here are not willing to do that.

mass incarceration is one of the biggest contributing factors to black disenfranchisement today idk how someone can brush that off so easily

I understand this point. I want it to known Im a whole picture type. Not just looking at one perspective. I realize there were going to be flaws. It can get kind of complicated but to me its a weighing process. All things considered whos the better choice. As far as the present situation and looking forward. And it has to be understood that its 2016 not 1994. I was around then, its a different world. At any rate for many of us, moves such as the thread subject arent surprising. Kind of uh...saw this type of thing being possible effects going in.

 

[Go figure]

But but Hillary said superpredators

I mean if u just wanna bring up a single word yet ignore a whole bill and what it did then thats on u

What bill? If its the crime bill I only have limited interest in a get tough on crime bill 20 years ago during a different, crime ridden era. Criminals arent heroes that should have been coddled and allowed to victimize neighborhoods such as mine. Not that it didnt have bad effects too. Thats life you weigh everything and surmise who would be the best choice...going forward. In 2016 (different era) its not 1994 anymore. I think its more important to look forward. I wouldnt have seen anything like that happening during a Hillary presidency in 2016 (different era/dynamics). But now who knows? This is just my opinion. No candidate is going to align with you on everything. Thats where the weighing and deducing the best option going forward comes in.

not talking about coddling anybody. the prison system is flawed, people got life sentences for non violent offenses and guess what group has suffered the most?

These days, Jeremy Travis is president of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. But 20 years ago, he attended the signing ceremony for the crime bill — and joined the Clinton Justice Department.

"Here's the federal government coming in and saying we'll give you money if you punish people more severely, and 28 states and the District of Columbia followed the money and enacted stricter sentencing laws for violent offenses," Travis says.

But as Travis now knows all too well, there's a problem with that idea. Researchers including a National Academy of Sciences panel he led have since found only a modest relationship between incarceration and lower crime rates.

"We now know with the fullness of time that we made some terrible mistakes," Travis said. "And those mistakes were to ramp up the use of prison. And that big mistake is the one that we now, 20 years later, come to grips with. We have to look in the mirror and say, 'look what we have done.'"

Nick Turner of Vera put the human costs even more starkly.

"If you're a black baby born today, you have a 1 in 3 chance of spending some time in prison or jail," Turner said. "If you're Latino, it's a 1 in 6 chance. And if you're white, it's 1 in 17. And so coming to terms with these disparities and reversing them, I would argue, is not only a matter of fairness and justice but it's, I would argue, a matter of national security."

the fact that this bill was passed 20 years ago and STILL has a huge effect on problems in the black communities today u dont realize how bad an idea it was. Hillary had to renounce it during her campaign, joe biden is the one who drafted it...but he woudnt renounce it.

That first bold says for violent offenses. Regardless Hillary didnt just lock up a bunch of innocent people doing nothing. Lets be honest we're talking criminals for the vast majority doing all kinds of foul things. There is accountability on them.The penalties were increased. Speaking of effects that linger today, crime is at historic lows, minorities are in college at historic levels. Under which Presidential candidate would these trends likely continue?There are alot of people who would be up to no good, recruiting and spreading crime who are unable too. This is my point about weighing things and figuring who would be better going forward.

But thats kind of my point about who are my fellow citizens? At some point people are what they are and its on me to navigate accordingly.

....violent offenses and non violent drug offenders.

and its more to it than just a bill. again it disenfranchised black communities across the nation in more ways than one and caused multiple effects but thats for another thread. first was slavery, then segregation, red lining, war on drugs, 1994 crime bill, mass incarceration. Its just a long line of bullshit and she's part of it...so why would i use my vote on her? NOT INCLUDING all the bullshit from this past campaign...just know im judging her first off current events THEN past. But the past only reinforces what i feel about her today

We look at that crime bill differently. Honestly there is more than enough going on today, my interest in that is very limited. Honestly I gave my perspective thats all I have to say about 1994. I was there there was wild sht going on too. There is plenty going on with current events in the times we are living. Actually we just have differences of opinion. Its irrelevant now. Welp either by choice or by inaction people get Trump. And moves such as thread topic. I honestly dont think a lot of people thought things through fully. Too much looking back while some of us were and are looking to today and the future...

i dont disagree with your view completely but simply put the country deserves a pres better than the 2 candidates offered. there were a lot of shady things with her campaign that made it seem they werent gonna let anyone in the DNC get in hillary's way including bernie. I would've voted for him. But seeing the bullshit going on i decided to sit out, as did enough other people to cause her not to win.

And if u been paying attention bernie is still out there doing his part, while hillary disappeared (cuz she only comes around to get your votes) and trump is causing more divide in the country. they're both shit. i dont see either a better option than the other but u do, thats the only difference.

 

[Swiffness!]

Some of you niggas are nihilists. This generation smh.

 

[313 wayz]

Damn man....Jeff Sessions as AG is bad business.....I already know he is going to repeal the little bit of criminal justice reform progress that was put in place during the Obama administration......Him and Tim Cotton (R-Arkansas) recommended locking up more people because we are not locking up enough people by their standard.
http://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...ons-attorney-general-trump-justice-department

Over the past few years, a bipartisan group of senators has been working on legislation that would reduce mandatory minimum prison sentences for nonviolent offenders and give judges more sentencing discretion in cases involving low-level drug offenders. But the legislation never really got anywhere in the Senate, in large part because Sessions, along with Trump allies and Sens. Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz, opposed the bill.

 

[smp4life]

People that didn't vote (or voted 3rd party) doing mental gymnastics to convince themselves Trump and Clinton are the same.

 

[Swiffness!]

According to these IC fuck niggas we shouldn't care and should stop crying

"What's good for black people is actually bad for them"

This that same circular logic that make these smartdumb niggas act like segregation was a good thing

Way they tell it, we was better off as slaves because "at least then white people were honest about their racism"

 

[manofmorehouse]

Lmao Trump and clinton are the same though, right?? Lol "they're one and the same". This is going to be the guy that decides whether or not to prosecute cops killing unarmed blacks. Again, survive the drought. Shout out to Jill Stein and Gary Johnson though

 

[DoUwant2go2Heaven]

*looks around the thread*

Aye @DoUwant2go2Heaven what do you think about all of this?

They all coming home!!!!

Yes, For God hasn't forgot about the atrocities of the well favored harlot.

Remember?

Remember?

Remember?

Remember?

Remember?

Remember?

Remember?

Remember?

Remember?

God hasn't forgot. Oh no. The blood moon season was a warning. Yes, no longer will people say the days are prolonged, and every vision faileth! That proverb will cease and no more will anybody use it as a proverb! For the days are at hand, and the effect of every vision!

The conception is about to happen on November 20th!

If there was ever a time to get right with God, now is the time! Sadly the Bible has already told us that instead of a great revival happening, there will be a great falling away! For many will turn from the faith because of all the trouble that is about to come on the earth. Amen.

Oh yeah Last but not least, Remember?

For thus saith the LORD:



"her sins are piled up to heaven,

and God has remembered her iniquities.

6Give back to her as she has done to others;

pay her back double for what she has done;

mix her a double portion in her own cup.

7To the degree that she has glorified herself and lived in luxury,

inflict on her that much torment and misery.

In her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen;

I am not a widow and will never see mourning.’

8Therefore her plagues will come in one day,

death and misery and famine;

and she will be consumed by fire,

for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.” Revelation 18:5-8

All the luxury that America has enjoyed will be DOUBLED in punishment!

Yes, everything that she has done unto others, will be DOUBLED unto her in punishment!

In 1 day America will be laid waste and thus begins the DAY OF THE LORD!!!!!!

WOE WORTH THE DAY! FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR, EVEN THE DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR!!!!!

Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness and not light? Even very dark with no brightness in it!

Amen.

I'm really enjoying this shit man. If they're both the same why are people protesting? Why people so scared? Why people acting like the world will end? People on that bullshit

Just to be clear, I was being facetious. I think it's hilarious too. Alot of these niggas out here protesting trump didn't vote. It's too late now. He's here. The next 4 years are what we all deserve as a nation

 

[Undefeatable]

People that didn't vote (or voted 3rd party) doing mental gymnastics to convince themselves Trump and Clinton are the same.

That's exactly what's happening and what will continue to happen.

Because most ppl would rather close their eyes and die comfortably than face their killer head on.

 

[blackrain]

Where are all you niggas that were screaming Obama is the president of all america for the last eight years? Trump is pushing a white agenda with zero fucks given but Obama couldn't push a black one? Y'all are getting your nigga wake up call, it seems like only black people push this we all in this together shit.

So don't cry now you had eight years to get him to pass bills that would benefit black people but as usual you went right to the back of the bus and let "all of America" (which apparently doesn't include black people) get the good seats

Umm you do realize these nominations have to be approved...as in they have to be agreed upon...as in if they are agreed upon its actually further proof of the bullshit Obama was up against with how often he face opposition for stuff he wanted to do

 

[kzzl]

Trump is doing what we expected him to do and these racist earned the spoils as they did what was necessary to win. They supported their intellectuals, protected their race soldiers, drew their lines, and more. There was action behind their words. They were strong, we were weak, and nature will do the rest as it should. So there no one in this country to run to, no one else that cares, and your god(s) won't save you.

WE need to care about US and stop acting like scared bitches that can't leave an abusive relationship. Nothing else has set fire to our people's feet to get them on track. So shit like this is all that's left to hopefully put some sense into people's heads.

 

[Maximus Rex]

Amerikkka is getting what she deserves. And yet us negroes are still doing what we do best infighting and blaming. We did our part it was a smaller part than last time but we did our part. The reason Trump and his goons are in office is because the others that did or did not vote. Stop blaming our people

So who in the fuck were suppose to vote for. Nigga, take yo' ass back to sleep, I'll wake you when the revolution is over.
