Unfortunately, I believe that addressing the root causes will take such an investment from the larger world that it's unlikely to occur anytime soon. And that's why I'm focusing on the sentencing issue, it's easier to change immediately.Big Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510881583909431416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-74996492807537189702008-03-28T13:07:00.000-05:002008-03-28T13:07:00.000-05:00Happy TGIF to all! I wholeheartedly Agree__ “Ameri...Happy TGIF to all! <BR/><BR/>I wholeheartedly Agree__ “America has yet to live up to its ideals about the equality of man.”<BR/><BR/>And lawd knows “corrections” to appropriately address racial disparities, across the board, are well past due!<BR/><BR/>However, as to this particular discussion, I have to tell you_<BR/><BR/>With 13 years of working in the field of Forensic Behavioral Science_ and more specifically working with Blacks who are on state and federal parole, for drug related crimes, who've repeatedly FAIL to follow through with mandated orders _ the bigger Concern for me is seeing the lives of so many Blacks, particularly young Black males being ravaged, wasted, destroyed by drugs, from marijuana-to-heroin!<BR/><BR/>I’ve witnessed countless numbers of Black families, 2 and 3 generations deep, “trapped” in the vicious and Deadly cycle of drug addictions and other illicit drug-related activities. <BR/><BR/>Truthiz, many (Not all)_but Many Blacks (male and female) have confessed to me, that prison, on more than one occassion, has actually "saved” their lives!<BR/><BR/>They feel that had it not been for prison they'd probably be dead by now.<BR/><BR/>Those same Blacks tend to present with serious psycho-social “issues” (if you will) that have long gone ignored and unaddressed. As I see it, the most important thing is trying to help those people identify the root causes of their destruction thoughts and behaviors. WHY have they chosen to live their lives in such self-destructive ways?<BR/><BR/>In short, I’m much less interested in getting “equitable” jail time for my people...and I’m much more interested in addressing their overall psycho-social well-being!Truthizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955523196532537947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-50107941825753766502008-03-28T11:49:00.000-05:002008-03-28T11:49:00.000-05:00great article, i don't think there is anything I c...great article, i don't think there is anything I can really add to this. business as usual I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-78076382030669390502008-03-28T11:01:00.000-05:002008-03-28T11:01:00.000-05:00Don't forget, we got the former first Black POTUS,...Don't forget, we got the former first Black POTUS, aka, Bill Clinton, to thank for that mess.<BR/><BR/>He coined it on his watch, and helped out his boys in the prison industry complex, by giving them opportunities to build more prisons to house all the brothas (Latino, Black and Asian) he knew were going to get caught in that net.<BR/><BR/>Bobby Scott and Jim Clyburn have been trying to bring forth legislation to correct this disparity for the last five years, but the brethren in Congress won't hear of it. In fact, the only time you hear about it is during CBC Legislative Weekend, and only during the cocktail hour, if at all.<BR/><BR/>And you only hear about it, when, if you're a hell-raiser like me, you're in their faces, asking, "So what are you working on, and what are my tax dollars paying your salary to do?"<BR/><BR/>::crickets chirping:: <BR/><BR/>But, I like that "Nausea, Upset, Indigestion, Diaharrea" look they get on their faces when they see me coming to ask those questions...so, it's worth that, at least.<BR/><BR/>I don't allow people to piss up my leg or in my mouth, because piss by any other name is still PISS.The Christian Progressive Liberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445662404937684518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-54985982408455524212008-03-28T09:52:00.000-05:002008-03-28T09:52:00.000-05:00dont pioss in my mouth and call it ginger ale - cl...dont pioss in my mouth and call it ginger ale - classic LOLAll-Mi-T [Thought Crime] Rawdawgbuffalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843040863123899426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-15934905940479441842008-03-28T08:42:00.000-05:002008-03-28T08:42:00.000-05:00This has been a pet peeve of mine for years,, eve...This has been a pet peeve of mine for years,, ever since a great US Econ and Gov teacher I had in high school assigned us a paper on race in the courts and I did mandatory minimums. As a person with plenty of lawyers in the family - some of whom have judicial aspirations I have another question: Why bother vetting federal jurists if we're going to tie their hands? How fair can the system be if a box grid decides your fate before you even set foot in court? <BR/>Thanks for letting me get that out.<BR/>Don't even get me STARTED on the cops...Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900726730265994177noreply@blogger.com
