Pocahontas puts her foot in it

Warren calls US criminal justice system "racist from front to back"

Pandering, racist bullshit spewed in a talk at an historically black college.

What a stupid woman she turns out to be.

It cannot fail to have been her intention to make political hay out of fanning the flames by utterly discrediting the entire criminal justice system in America with a filthy lie.

I withdraw any previous endorsement of her for the top of the 2020 Democratic ticket.

She would cause more white people to flee to Trump than did so in 2016.

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, a potential Democratic presidential candidate, delivered what she called ‘‘the hard truth about our criminal justice system: It’s racist . . . I mean front to back.’’

While speaking at Dillard University, a historically black college, Warren 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.

Disproportionate arrests result from disproportionate crime, and more whites than blacks are affected by the overloaded public defender system and state laws that disenfranchise felons.

Still, the public defender system ought to be much better funded, disenfranchisement should probably not happen after a single felony conviction, and reliance on virtually coerced plea bargains is a disgraceful travesty of justice that betrays the constitutional right to a trial.

Since this was reported August fourth she has been subjected to a deserved barrage of criticism.

Her remark is the perfect example Hannity and others can cite to show Trump was right to deplore "all kinds of racism", and undermines the claim that while the general run of Republicans hate the actually existing America the general run of Democrats love it.

I had thought the left wing crackheads were a minority and not a significant presence among party office holders and leadership.

Wrong again.

Venomous, racist, and extremist delusions and lies have been mainstreamed in both parties.

And even whites can hate whites, white America, and the America in which whites are the majority in power.
