Warren at black university: Criminal justice system ‘racist’

Speaking Friday at a historically black university, potential Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren delivered what she called “the hard truth about our criminal justice system: It’s racist … I mean front to back.”

The Massachusetts senator identified some of the system’s failures: disproportionate arrests of African-Americans for petty drug possession; an overloaded public defender system; and state laws that keep convicted felons from voting even after their sentences are complete.

Warren was participating in a Q&A session hosted by Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Cedric Richmond at the historically black Dillard University in New Orleans.

She was among several possible Democratic White House contenders who spoke Friday at Netroots Nation, an annual conference for progressives. She was the only leading Democrat to appear at Dillard.

The stop is the latest sign of Warren’s effort to forge ties beyond her largely white political base in Massachusetts and avoid the fate of fellow progressive icon Bernie Sanders, who struggled to win over African-Americans during his failed bid for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. …

They're going to burn it all.

PDJT is going to look like a "moderate," compared to the rabid-dog moonbattery that's coming.

Always has been. They are incensed that their Fabianist takeover has been arrested by Trump and now they want to stir as many people as possible up into the Marxist revolutionary alternative, no matter how many lies it takes to do it and no matter if it even leaves the country open to invasion.

Going for the criminal vote. A big part of the Democrat base.

Did you notice AP’s comparison of Fauxcahontas to Bernie? Basically saying she’s as far left as he is?

If you hear a lib arguing for restoration of voting rights, then ask them about restoration of gun rights.

#1: "This is pure evil."

That's the only way to characterize it. She incites more racial division and hatred in one day than David Duke could do in a lifetime.

How evil it is for Warren to destroy our American social fabric with horrible lies for her personal gain and aggrandizement.

This ought to be her epitaph, because this is the truth about her.

disproportionate arrests of African-Americans for petty drug possession

Maybe, just maybe there is an explanation for this other than racism. Just sayin'.

Oh, she knows the truth and pushes the bigger lie. That’s what makes it really vile, and perhaps even treasonous.

The Obamaite lie of “systemic racism” is more important to her.

And for once, the AP is honest about how far left she is with that comparison to Bernie.

Yeah, but Joe Biden really let them into the secret when he told them, “They’re going to put you back in chains.”

Or as he put it, “… put y’all back in chains”.

If this continues to backfire on them, so much the better. The problem is that they get help from overseas to foment this treason.

This constart racist agitation and propaganda by the political extreme left wing nowadays is getting very tiresome. And it’s obviously very dangerous too
