i agree.

the crack sentencing bill Clinton enacted was FUCKED UP. but it DID NOT INCREASE MASS INCARCERATION.
thats some STATE SHIT, not FEDERAL doing.
and Bernie Sanders voted FOR THAT SHIT TOO.

They did have a lot saying Walter Scott shouldn't have run.
The 9 dead from the church died with God in their hearts.
Bullshit......states followed that bullshit too and got money to follow it...so stop acting like it was separate.
Why doesn't he get blame ? because Bill signed it and Hillary championed it to get the votes.
Now back to the real issues.
Look here man, you niggas ready to turn in your black cards because one cac got voted over another cac are fucking disgraceful...
Personally i wouldnt have voted for the bitch. But the long game says she is the right choice and best option to beat a repub come november.
If you muthafuckas think amerikkka will vote in a self professed "socialist" jew, who seems black friendly, openly talks about breaking up banks, legalizing drugs, raising taxes, and taking Obamacare a step further... Then you about as silly s he is.

Now back to the real issues.
A 1998 report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), for which federal investigators talked to state officials about whether the 1994 law influenced state policies, noted that just four states adopted truth-in-sentencing laws (TIS) solely as a response to the 1994 law:
At the time of our review, based upon determinations made by DOJ, 27 states had TIS laws that met the requirements for receiving federal TIS grants. For each of these 27 states, we contacted state officials to determine whether the availability of such grants was a factor in the respective state's decision to enact a TIS law. Based on the responses to our telephone survey, the states can be grouped into three categories—TIS grants not a factor (12 states), TIS grants a partial factor (11 states), and TIS grants a key factor (4 states).
Why did most states apparently not care for the 1994 law? Many state officials said that they were already interested in tough-on-crime measures before the federal law, GAO investigators found:
incarceration of Black men FELL after that law was enacted.
you havent presented anything but your opinion. fuck your opinion.
and everyone involved should be blamed, your reason for exonerating Bernie is bitch made.
Are you talking about the same America that voted a black man in office?
shut the fuck up
I agree. Anyone who was on that shit should get the blame. But between Sanders and Clinton, I find Sanders easier to support. It's a shame anyone who supported that fuckery is in line for a promotion, but that's American politics.
The Clinton dynasty’s horrific legacy: How “tough-on-crime” politics built the world’s largest prison system
Over the past two decades, the Clintons' version of the "War on Drugs" has inflicted needless suffering on millions

(Credit: AP/Carolyn Kaster)Hillary Clinton wants to run for president as an economic populist, as a humane progressive interested in bolstering the fortunes of poor and middle class Americans. But before liberals enthusiastically sign up for Team Hillary, they should remember this: In the late 1990s, Bill Clinton played in instrumental role in creating the world’s largest prison system — one that has devastated our inner cities, made a mockery of American idealism abroad, and continues to inflict needless suffering on millions of people. And he did it with his wife’s support.
That liberals are now being asked to get excited for Hillary’s Clinton’s candidacy, announced on Sunday, almost requires the suspension of disbelief. That the best progressive alternative to Clinton is a long-shot from Vermont is a tragedy. This is not to say that President Hillary Clinton would pursue the same prison policies as her husband — the political headwinds on criminal justice reform have shifted considerably in the past two decades, and the Clintons, accordingly, have shifted with them. But past actions should matter, and what they show is that the Clinton Dynasty embraced and exacerbated one of the late 20th Century’s greatest public policy disasters.
The explosion of the prison system under Bill Clinton’s version of the “War on Drugs” is impossible to dispute. The total prison population rose by 673,000 people under Clinton’s tenure — or by 235,000 more than it did under President Ronald Reagan, according to a study by the Justice Policy Institute. “Under President Bill Clinton, the number of prisoners under federal jurisdiction doubled, and grew more than it did under the previous 12-years of Republican rule,combined,” states the JPI report (italics theirs). The federal incarceration rate in 1999, the last year of the Democrat’s term, was 42 per 100,000 — more than double the federal incarceration rate at the end of President Reagan’s term (17 per 100,000), and 61 percent higher than at the end of President George Bush’s term (25 per 100,000), according to JPI.
Just before the New Hampshire primary, Bill Clinton famously flew back to Arkansas to personally oversee the execution of a mentally impaired African-American inmate named Ricky Ray Rector. The “New Democrat” spoke on the campaign trail of being tougher on criminals than Republicans; and the symbolism of the Rector execution was followed by a series of Clinton “tough on crime” measures, including: a $30 billion crime bill that created dozens of new federal capital crimes; new life-sentence rules for some three-time offenders; mandatory minimums for crack and crack cocaine possession; billions of dollars in funding for prisons; extra funding for states that severely punished convicts; limited judges’ discretion in determining criminal sentences; and so on. There is very strong evidence that these policies had a small impact on actual crime rates, totally out of proportion to their severity.
There is also very strong evidence that these policies contributed to the immiseration of vast numbers of black (and also white) Americans at the bottom of the economic ladder, according to the well-known conclusions of journalists, academics and other criminal justice experts. Federal funding for public housing fell by $17 billion (a 61 percent reduction) under Bill Clinton’s tenure; federal funding for corrections rose by $19 billion (an increase of 171 percent), according to Michelle Alexander’s seminal work, “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.” The federal government’s new priorities redirected nearly $1 billion in state spending for higher education to prison construction. Clinton put a permanent eligibility ban for welfare or food stamps on anyone convicted of a felony drug offense (including marijuana possession). He prohibited drug felons from public housing. Any liberal arts grad with an HBO account can tell you the consequences for poor, black American cities like Baltimore. As Alexander writes, “More than any other president, [Clinton] created the current racial undercaste.”
While it’s true that it was Bill who, as president, was ultimately responsible for these decision, Hillary was nonetheless a famously involved First Lady on political matters — a reputation she’s shown willingness to capitalize on in her new campaign. According to a 2013 Wall Street Journal report, Hillary has “signaled she would use the 1990s as a selling point if she jumps in the race, making the case that, as first lady, she was part of an era that found solutions to the same sorts of political difficulties that bedevil present-day Washington.” That legacy includes Bill Clinton’s “War on Drugs,” whether you like it or not.
As recently noted by Reason.com, Hillary actively lobbied for the aforementioned criminal justice reforms as First Lady and, as a New York senator, voted to expand grants that dramatically scaled up police involvement in anti-terror and homeland security efforts. She also said things like this, in support of a crime bill that would impose draconian new sentencing provisions:
“We need more police, we need more and tougher prison sentences for repeat offenders. The three strikes and you’re out for violent offenders has to be part of the plan. We need more prisons to keep violent offenders for as long as it takes to keep them off the streets.”
so clinton just apologized for nothing?
and do you know what vox is before you quote them?
In 1994, President Clinton signed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which offered states billions in funding for new prisons – but only if they adopted “truth in sentencing laws” that would reduce prisoners’ eligibility for parole. The law also established mandatory life-sentences for people convicted of a third violent felony, among other punitive measures. By the end of the Clinton presidency, the number of people in America’s prisons rose by nearly 60%, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
Did you really apply this simplistic half assed idiotic logic here?? You sure you wanna go that route?
You sound like those dumbass cacs who apply the same fallacy as illustration that racism no longer exists... "We voted for Obama therefore america is post racial".. Man stfu!!
And if you dont see the difference between Bernie and O than you're even dumber than i thought.
That old ass cac isnt electable. ... and this is coming from someone would vote for him.
and of course he doesn't talk about the money the states got to join war, to hire more police and build more prisons.
I guess these police have their own arms dealer cause the feds aren't giving them military weapons.
Plus, if she fuck up, we will make her a 1 term president and ruin her legacy as 1st female pres...i dont think she can afford to turn her back on us. We have to vote her out if we dont see results in 1st term
1
yes I want really want to go that route
a black man was elected into office and bernie has been competitive in the primaries until today
so please enlighten me so i can eat your dumb ass up
i personally went to court as a character witness for a guy who HAD TO GET 10 years due to that shitty law.
TOO many Black folks suffered for that fucked up initiative, too many went to jail on some first offense bullshit.
Clinton was wrong for that, and his ass should do more than just apologize.
BUT...mass incaceration WAS ALREADY HAPPENING before that bill, and most states didnt even want the money for it.
now thats not an opinion. thats cold facts. our local and state systems are whats fucking us over, not the federal level.
yeah he is a link pusher when he debates
and he'll literally say anything to win a debate
watch how he works, its coming lol
Bernie needs to hang the fuck on and PUSH Hillary to the LEFT
his own words
In response, Clinton said, the bill increased the number of police on the streets and enacted gun control legislation. But decades later, Clinton believes the results of the law were mixed, at best.
"And we wound up ... putting so many people in prison that there wasn't enough money left to educate them, train them for new jobs and increase the chances when they came out so they could live productive lives," he said.
........
those are the facts, man
i see more post about if Hillary wins or why she shouldn't instead of who has the best chance to win against trump , fuck you motherfuckas are so ignorant in here fake ass militants in here .
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/ep...s/general_election_trump_vs_sanders-5565.html
now please shut the fuck up
that is an awfully low bar.....just going along with who they tell you has the best chance....fuck who identifies more closely to your interests.
they say it should be Hillary so just go along..
personally as long as those voting democrat turn out to vote either would beat Trump...
It's funny that some of you don't see the parallel.
They said Hillary was best chance to beat the GOP when she ran against Barack
They said the country won't elect a black man
They called Obama a socialist, a Muslim, said he hated crakkas and called him everything but a child of god.
They said he wasn't a citizen
They said he didn't have any experience..
But his grassroots wouldn't be detoured and the establishment DNC was not campaigning against him.
It's just funny how easily you broken mofokrs just give up because somebody tells you there is no use.
Oh whoa is me he can't win so wez might outta just go ahead cause Hillary is the only hope.

And again, you keep throwing up Obamas name out your cunt mouth as if one even remotely equals the other. You're making no sense.
Faget.

So we know he's got plenty of personal and political favors coming his way now. Hey, it is what it is...politics. Dude just playing the game.
