Attorney General Eric Holder: Jail time for blacks is too long
The Washington Times ^ | 4/5/2013

Posted on 04/05/2013 2:35:04 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

Attorney General Eric Holder expressed “concern” Thursday evening that black men are unfairly served with longer prison sentences than white men and that America’s prison system demands overhaul.

“Too many people go to too many prisons for far too long for no good law enforcement reason,” Mr. Holder said, in remarks to the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network in New York, Politico reported. “It is time to ask ourselves some fundamental questions about our criminal justice system. … It is time to examine our systems and determine what truly works.”

Mr. Holder said in the Politico report that state laws oftentimes require sentences that are too harsh for the specific case — and that “breed[s] disrespect” for the court system. He also referred to a report from the U.S. Sentencing Commission released in February and said figures show that blacks are being disproportionately prosecuted and sentenced.

“I am concerned by a troubling report … which indicates that — in recent years — black male offenders have received sentences that are nearly 20 percent longer than those imposed on white males convicted of similar crimes,” he said, Politico reported.

We have overt open racists running DOJ and the White House.

Eric damn well knows that most blacks get longer sentences because they commit far more violent crimes and they are very often repeat offenders to violent crimes.

These sentences don’t just appear out of thin air. They actually take into account specifics of each case. They have actual trials, and the history of the defendant is known.

What a damn racist this man is. Blatant racist. More blacks commit crimes than whites for the size of their demographic group, that’s why a disproportionate number are in jail. They also are far more prone to commit violent crime, which carries longer sentences.

This man is an utter joke. An embarrassment to the country and the concept we’re all supposed to be treated equally.

Racist idiot.

The Marxists’ solution is to redistribute the time sentenced to ALL persons.

Get ready to serve your two years in lockup for the women/children/minorities most affected.

CodeWords for: Whitey needs to stay in jail longer

These Black Ku Klux Klan Racists refuse to take responsibility for Blacks acting like feral animals. Holder would rather lynch a George Zimmermann than prevent a future Trayvon Martin

I am sure if you’re not the correct party, you’ll get more time.

“holder can come clean and tell the citizens the stats on black crime....how unbelievably violent blacks are and how they account for a huge percentage of crime considering their minority status...”

I’d like to see that “troubling” report...

He’s already given the signal, loud and clear, that blacks will not be called out for the recent spate (at least two years) of black wildings, knock-out king, polar bear hunting, “Beat Whitey Night”, black on white crime (which is exponentially one-sided, especially rape and sexual assaults). This, combined with the all-out efforts to disarm law-abiding gun owners (which recent surveys show to be heavily majority white-note the operative words “law abiding”) tells me everything I need to know about what Hussein, Holder & Co are up to-they are promoting black attacks on whites until one white person finally fires upon one of the thugs in self-defense or defense of an innocent white or non-black victim, and then I have a feeling we’ll know for a certainty why DHS has been stockpiling weapons and ammo, police depts are being weakened through downsizing, being spread too thin,and PC, and the military is being undermined through the same means.

To quote Richard Pryor:

“It made my heart ache, you know, to see all these beautiful black men in the joint. The warriors should be out there helping the masses. I felt that way, I was real naive. Six weeks I was up there and I talked to the brothers. I talked to ‘em, and ... THANK GOD WE GOT PENITENTIARIES!”

A woman who ran against the Democrat Sherriff in the primary in my county stated she would immediately balance the white/black ratio which is currently skewed to the black. His response was, “You know, releasing people because they’re not white would be illegal.” She didn’t win, but she was the only other one on the ticket. I don’t think there’s bee a Republican elected in this county since the nineteenth century.

The county to the North has a prison population that’s 100% black. They decided to send five whites from my county to help balance the situation. They didn’t last a week.

The fact that the majority of the crime by them is against minorities, I suspect Mr Holder is a racist.

We could release them, give them hoodies and drop them off in Florida. Your choice.

...”tells me everything I need to know about what Hussein, Holder & Co are up to-they are promoting black attacks on whites until one white person finally fires upon one of the thugs in self-defense or defense of an innocent white or non-black victim”

Or even in defense of a cat, dog or a baby in a stroller.

No, you have to give up your rights because crazy white kids shoot other white kids.

Clearly, the black on black crime doesn’t even register with the white legislatures.

So what Mr. My People is saying is that we should empty out the prisons and let violent criminals go back to the ghettos and rob and murder more black people.

It’s “The Chicago Way”
