Jeff Sessions Let His Racism Peek Through a Little More Than He May Have Intended To

On Monday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions addressed a gathering of the nation’s sheriffs, where he once again committed to his job of making subtext text.
Sessions was speaking before the National Sheriffs Association, a trade association representing roughly 20,000 law enforcement officials across the country.

“The office of Sheriff is a critical part of the Anglo-American heritage of law enforcement,” Sessions told the conference attendees. “We must never erode this historic office.”
“Anglo-American heritage of law enforcement”? Hmm, what could that possibly mean?
This comment does not appear in Sessions’ prepared remarks. As Vice News’ Tess Owen points out, Sessions could have been referring to the Anglo-Saxon origins of the role of the sheriff (the sheriff of Nottingham, etc.)
Still, considering every single god-given thing we know about Jeff Sessions, that is a very generous interpretation of his remarks. When you are Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, and are viewed as a racist by a wide variety of people, one would think you might consider the optics of praising “Anglo-American heritage” in front of a largely white crowd of cops.
The rest of Sessions’ remarks are more tactfully written but equally horrifying.
“The most important thing that any government does is keep its citizens safe. The first civil right is the right to be safe,”one part of the speech reads. “Too often, politics gets in the way of that mission.”
That dichotomy—between “safety” and “politics”—is worth exploring. The clear unspoken idea is that it’s justifiable for black people to live in fear of law enforcement as long as white people feel “safe.” A black parent’s legitimate fears that their son might not come home from school one day is just “politics,” while uncritical support of a militarized police force that operates with relative impunity is “safety.”
This shouldn’t exactly come as a surprise, but Sessions is pushing an industry already imbued with its fair share of white supremacist sentiment in an even darker direction. I’m sure his intended audience loved it.

@ "Elf" Sessions...

The sweet irony is that of one his bosses biggest fans and supporters is a Negro Sheriff such as former Sheriff David Clarke.

Yea....
That's what THEY think of you you buck dancing fuck!
*this is by no means a slant to black law enforcement who enforce the letter of the law justly and fairly*
*two cents*
This coon would no doubt agree with Sessions. ....without even worrying about the irony.

Hes absolutely right. Considering the origins of the job lie in white male slave patrols. And he knows this.
he knows anglo americans are on these shore illegaly...
they shouldve all been shipped back to england many many years ago..
but most of us dont know true american history, give cacs credit tho, they covering that shit up very very well...
anglo saxons are of english germanic descent....
they were sent here to serve time.. and our foolish antcestors treated them like men and not like the soulless beast they are..
and we are still paying for that now, like they are paying england to extend their stay here..
hence being over taxed...
where do you think your tax dollar goes...?

As my friend said, they've gone from dog whistle to honky bullhorn.
Actually the origins of the job started before the slave patrols in jolly ole England

After watching the news on a constant basis for a few years, I began to realize that the media and people who are constantly in the media speak in code a lot of the time.
Even though he was outright with what he said its still going to come off as a coded speech, because a lot of people can't comprehend what meant by him saying "Anglo".

The racists he was trying to get his point across to know exactly what he meant.
You’re looking at it incorrectly. Think of these side stories as mini-acts. They’re only meant to hasten the news cycle for the president. Whenever a new story about Russia gets released, the republicans manufacture “dissent” against the president. I’m at the point where I’m questioning why the press continues to chase after these stories.
*reads millionth story about the aggrieved nazifrom the nytimes*
Thats what I mean. Non racist, and most non whites are not going to catch it.
Dog, we are sending satellites unto comets 10 years in advance. You don’t think these people know how their words are going to be interpreted?
Maybe that isn’t a noose around our necks maybe we are off gold and platinum.
Your post is insulting.
It's a picture of one of the slave patrol badges.
Post a link so I can see it
It's not insulting. I can guarantee you that if you let the 10 nearest people to you in proximity hear and see the clip without caption and a briefing of context, that more than half will not catch what he saying.Dog, we are sending satellites unto comets 10 years in advance.

And I’m stealing it for one of my threads.
When did they ever hide it? Some may argue we purposefully misconstrued their words because of self-preservation.
Pretty much.
Dear me...
