Civil Rights figure calls for incarcerating more African-Americans

Posted by David Hardy · 26 June 2016 01:35 PM

A thought with regards that "sit-in," led by "famed civil rights leader [Rep.] John Lewis" to seek more gun controls.....

I happened upon this study of prisoners sentenced for gun offenses, conducted by the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics. The information given on page 6 had to be broken down and recomputed to get the data for Federal and State prisoners added together, but when that is done we find that, for total persons imprisoned on firearms charges, 57.8% are African-American. 69.7%, well over two-thirds, are either African-American or Hispanic. So Lewis and associates are essentially seeking to increase the number of minorities in prisons.

Well, ya know, the two biggest mistakes the U.S. made, IMO, was in 1865 and 1964.
Figure it out for yourself.

Let's this for what it is. The Demoncratic party wants to bring back Jim Crow.
