Presidential Candidate Says African American Males Will Soon All Be In Jail Or Dead

Re: Presidential Candidate Says African American Males Will Soon All Be In Jail Or De

ASSIST:

We start with the president of the United States saying to America, we cannot build enough prisons to solve this problem. And the idea, that we’re just going keep incarcerating and keep incarcerating — pretty soon we’re not going to have a young African-American male population in America. They’re all going to be in prison or dead, one of the two.”
-John Edwards

Not me.


I think the mad rush is over.

If they wanted to keep locking black men up in MASS numbers they woulda left crack on the streets. If crack is still booming in YOUR town then thats the reason why. Bait to lock your monkey ass up. They let shit run rampant in areas they arent interested in like illidelphia.

The same job that was done cleaning up New York and D.C. can be done anywhere.

If they want too.Now that this shit is shut down here it only makes you realize they
coulda shut the shit down whenever they wanted to.

From what I just watched it seems that the statement alone was taken out of context... You guys don't absorb things yourself just see what other people hand to you and accept that??
 
Re: Presidential Candidate Says African American Males Will Soon All Be In Jail Or De

Wow. Sooooo if you could build enough prisons, I presume that would solve the problem?

He's toast. Who's next.
 
Re: Presidential Candidate Says African American Males Will Soon All Be In Jail Or De

you all aren't comprehending what he's saying.

he's saying the problem is the criminal justice system that incarcerates after the fact when it could educate before incarceration is sought.
 
Re: Presidential Candidate Says African American Males Will Soon All Be In Jail Or De

OK...I reread the comment, reviewed the video, and I concluded that he really was trying to point out the flawed justice system... He just said it WRONG...

Still voting for BARAK OBAMA....

Sooo what about the millions of black parents who raise their sons responsibly?

Do those males fall into the group that will all be in prison or dead ?

Co-sign. He's saying the way to combat violence is not by building more and more prisons and hoping that fixes everything, you have to change the way the system works.

Why is his response so conveniently cut off at that point? This is the same shit the Republicans did to Kerry. Just took his comments out of context. What's the saying, tell the lie enough times that it becomes the truth?
 
Re: Presidential Candidate Says African American Males Will Soon All Be In Jail Or De

HMMMMM:hmm::hmm:

I think were overlooking an important jewel he's dropping and taking the statement outta context

jewel being the plan white america has for the moor people in this nation...and thats annihilation..theyll try to fuck us over every way they can...wake up people!!!!!!!fuck assimulating and lets start black nationalism

You didn't answer my question but I'm trying to understand what you are trying to say here before I go.

You saying that a responsible black man handling/ minding his business going to work or school runs the same risk of going to jail (fairly or unfairly) or getting killed as a black man out on the streets hustlin, living illegally, involved in gang activity on drugs, whatever? Nah I'm sure you aren't sayin that.
 
Re: Presidential Candidate Says African American Males Will Soon All Be In Jail Or De

John Edwards is a better friend to the black man than Obama or Pillary

believe that

The sound bite can be a death kneel... I'm not sure who would have the most productive presidency between Obama and Edwards, but Edwards has certainly been the stronger candidate so far and, with the emphasis he's placed on poverty, he'd have to do more than another Democrat elected on the "Anybody But Bush" aftershocks. I'd greatly prefer either over Hillary Clinton.
 
Re: Presidential Candidate Says African American Males Will Soon All Be In Jail Or De

REAL TALK! His antipoverty message is being neglected by the mainstream media. He offers REAL solutions for society-wide uplift.

obama will be hillary light in some regards but I dont trust that bitch- he's friends with Lieberman

Hillary thinks she has it sewn up -

pay CLOSE attention to what it says about Black men and RAPE convictions.

shit, how many cases of innocent Black men being incarcerated do we have to cite to show that this criminal jurisprudence system treats us all like shit?

in many places your skin is your sin, even in 2007.

shit, i could put that last line to a beat.
 
Re: Presidential Candidate Says African American Males Will Soon All Be In Jail Or De

This Doesn't look good for him, any person with even half a brain knows what he's really talking about But the media will jump on this and take him out. Republicans pretty much get away with everything in the media, John kerry flip flopped once on one issue But now that republicans do it its pretty much the status Quo with Guiliani and romney changing posittions on everything. Only rebublicans are allowed to question soldiers or generals Motives, Yet the republicans forced the democrats to condem the Moveon.org Ad in the senate.

Aint no way the republicans are gonna take the presidency back, probably not for a long time. But with the blatant double standards that work in there favor i wouldn't be suprised if they take the congress back soon.

You don't have to prove those stats to me. I understand them all too well. The fact still remains that a black man, 18 -24 on a positive path has a much better shot at staying out of trouble and not being murdered than someone same age/ race living criminal life. Poverty plays a big part in which side of the fence you fall on.

Edwards DOES have some interesting ideas about attacking the poverty & class issues in our country but that doesn't excuse the irresponsible remarks in that vid. His campaign is already dealing with enough issues including not being able raise the type $$$ it takes to compete for the long haul. Was that answer he gave really useful?

I think he meant it sarcastically, and was throwing Bush under the bus like, "If we keep it the way Bush got it, ya'll niggas is fucked..." Now if he said that, I would be outraged.

It was taken out of context... Edwards made the statement to put into context the mindset that has inprisoned so many black men thus far- he wasn't advocating putting African Americans in prison.

Re: Presidential Candidate Says African American Males Will Soon All Be In Jail Or De

I feel and understand exactly what he is saying. And he as a white person finally had the courage to speak on the same issue that we know is truth. We all know they aren't building new prisons to house the growing number of white convicted felons.I listened to Sean hannity punk ass yesterday and was disturbed at how this guy was taking the whole comment out of context and saying that we as blacks should be outraged by these comments. He managed to find a statistic that said that ratio of black college students to black inmates was 4 to 1. And acted like that was good! Come on man..
 
Re: Presidential Candidate Says African American Males Will Soon All Be In Jail Or De

He said the current President thinks that, but if you ask me they are all the same. Unless Obama wins we're still goning to have this government kicking our asses. Obama understands what it's like to be black but not in our shoes.
