throughlineNPR Without reading I'm guessing war on drugs?

throughlineNPR Just set everyone free, let’s see what happens.

throughlineNPR god less prayer less churches , god less cops , god less government , god less schools , god less fire fighters , god less crack as=es , god less movies , god less judges , god less car sales people , pretty f=====g simple

throughlineNPR paganism

throughlineNPR Really interesting listen.

throughlineNPR Dec 6, 1865, the 13th Amendment - Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States. Slavery proponents seized upon this to privatize prisons.

throughlineNPR Haven’t y’all seen 13th ?

throughlineNPR Acting as if this is a mysterious question with no clear answer lol

throughlineNPR And what did the 'first Black president' do about it? He was more interested in LGBT than racism. Remember when he and Michelle made it a sport to call up people who came out to congratulate them? Meanwhile, the system was gutting Black communities.

throughlineNPR

throughlineNPR Bill and Hillary Clinton carrying out policies to implement Ronald Reagan's racism. Or was it the assassinations of JFK, Fred Hampton, RFK, and MLL, Jr? Slavery, Jim Crow? Indigenous tribes' genocides? Colonialism? Capitalism? Satanism? Freemasonry? Illuminati? Rome....

nlyonne throughlineNPR They make money off every prisoner.

throughlineNPR We allowed it 🤷🏼‍♀️ Americans are morons they took away your civics class no big deal

throughlineNPR How did we get here lol

kaymaya3 throughlineNPR That was written in the slave codes after emancipation how in the hell did you think you got here The US hated civil rights. As soon as they signed it into law you started letting immigrants in you couldn't fathom paying equal pay.

throughlineNPR How did “we” get here?😳. Please watch, pay attention, take notes... there will be a quiz later on🤔

throughlineNPR KamalaHarris is one person you can thank.

throughlineNPR Maybe if Blacks didn't commit a disproportionate number of crimes they wouldn't go to prison as often?

throughlineNPR When business takes over from justice, it’s a slippery slope.

throughlineNPR Apparently(according to NPR) there is no role that personal choices have in getting locked up. It doesn't happen Because of you, it happens TO you. Always, and because you're black.

throughlineNPR Idk people committing crimes?!

throughlineNPR 1. war on drugs(marijuana) 2. kamala harris

throughlineNPR Slavery is illegal unless they commit a crime, then it’s just peechy keen.

throughlineNPR Crime usually gets you there.

throughlineNPR JimCrowJoe Biden

throughlineNPR Because we care about public safety?

throughlineNPR Prisons for profit is how we got here.

throughlineNPR The modern day version of slavery as an industrial corporate complex. Little has changed since the Abolition days...

throughlineNPR Denying people basic human rights

LawyersComm throughlineNPR We got here because America is run by racist white people whom practice white supremacy with their policies and actions.

throughlineNPR Since the FBI and Justice Department report that African American males who make up about 6% of the US population but are responsible for over 50% of homicides in America. That might have something to do with it. 🤔

LawyersComm throughlineNPR ✊🏿✊🏿BLACK AMERICANS✊🏿✊🏿 For the 2020 Election AmericanDos is a political movement demanding REPARATIONS for descendants of American Slaves DEMAND JUSTICE For : ✅ Slavery ✅ Racial Wealth Gap ✅ Mass Incarceration ✅ Jim Crow ✅ Police Brutality Video-

throughlineNPR Centuries old, spoon fed, racial hate.

Kymon5 throughlineNPR Interesting!

throughlineNPR I was a huge supporter of Donald Trump's First Step Act to bring down the amount of minority prisoners. NPR chose to minimize reporting on this innovative and positive step towards reducing incarceration.

throughlineNPR Could you provide the stats for why they are in prison. This makes it look like we are just grabbing folks off the street for no reason; which is a lie. And the racial difference needs more analysis as well... Oh wait ...The wokest DNC propaganda arm.

throughlineNPR As opposed to being put up against a wall and shot in the head or taken to village square and being stoned - a little context is important...

throughlineNPR

throughlineNPR For profit prisons, voter supression = modern day slavery. They even make them pay 300 percent more to make a phone call to a loved one.

throughlineNPR It's because Democrats are racists.

throughlineNPR Consider the role of greed- slavery -racism to both justify morality of slavery and feed greed-continued greed & racism. Who rapped “deliberate creation of a criminal class”? Unspeakable crime of CIA dumping crack into AfricaAmerican community? They ever answer for that?

throughlineNPR How did we get here? Try generations of slavery and subjugation that didn't end with the emancipation proclamation Decades of Jim Crow and then other more subtle means of repression Racism and outright hate is how we got here Black and Hispanic people disproportionately targeted

throughlineNPR Hmmmmmmmm, how did we get here...?

nlyonne throughlineNPR So your saying it's a culture thing? Or you saying that whites don't commit crime? Or that only.blacks get locked up?

throughlineNPR Was it necessary to throw in race? No it wasn’t.

throughlineNPR Prob has to do with racism

throughlineNPR Madness and civilization, Michel Foucault.

throughlineNPR For profit prisons. Greedy politicians.

throughlineNPR And why aren’t we righting that wrong? Why haven’t we dealt w drug laws that disproportionately incarcerate minorities? It’s obviously not going to happen w trump in WH...

throughlineNPR Q: How did we get here? A: Because blacks commit crimes at massively disproportionate rates. ... but, instead, I'm sure it'll be explained away as due to... drumroll.... wait for it.... 'racism'.

throughlineNPR Suppressing the minority vote with a dash of racism. That's how.

throughlineNPR Is this a real question? We criminalized a health problem (drugs) and allowed private prison to exploit slave labor with no oversight.

throughlineNPR commit half the crime, you’ll be half the prison population math

throughlineNPR Pesky lawmakers.... 'In 1865, lawmakers amended the U.S. Constitution to outlaw slavery “except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.”

throughlineNPR Let’s start locking up more WHITE TRASH to even this out.👍🏼

throughlineNPR The thirteenth amendment also allows for involuntary labor as punishment for a crime. That could be it.

throughlineNPR People are pouring over our borders by the millions, supposedly to claim asylum from countries with super scary crime problems. We must be doing something right.

throughlineNPR Now that cellphones are everywhere, we can abolish police patrols. We can change the law to limit cops' power of arrest to 9|11 phone call complaints

throughlineNPR Follow the money.

throughlineNPR Hillary Clinton's super-predator crackdown and exceedingly harsh prosecutors like KamalaHarris are to blame for these numbers.

throughlineNPR NPR is fake news.

throughlineNPR More than China?

NPR Choice pageThe first duty of lawmakers should be to protect the lives of citizens, not the coffers of the NRA and their own election prospects.
