Just what we need in a violent society.

Yes, it's time we began to alleviate the prison/inmate problem...as in too many non-violent offenders locked up. In all honesty, it makes perfect sense because the whole 'War on Drugs' push didn't do anything but ruin people's lives and cost taxpayers big money to be housed on such offenses. If you really, really think about it, these people aren't contributing to the economy but, they're ALSO still being fed and taken care of BY US just like those on food stamps and out of work, or, not looking for work. It's a wash. Hell, it's the rest of these free roaming and non-contributing people we need to be focusing on. They won't all do the right things and stay out of trouble but, it's a start and we'll be saving a helluva lot of money. There are actually some sharp people in these prisons. Just look at what happened with that debate between inmates and Harvard...and THOSE WERE BRUTHAS!!!

Anyone with any common sense of of what really happened during slavery knows that blacks were actually PUNISHED FOR READING AND TRYING TO LEARN. White men were purposely SUPPRESSING BLACKS for fear that they'd actually learn something greater and, therefore, become greater while SUPERCEDING THEIR WHITE COUNTERPARTS. To this very day, blacks aren't supposed to be intelligent and know anything. In all reality, a percentage of EVERY ETHNICITY falls into the 'dumba$$ category...not just blacks only.


Take a look at this link and an excerpt from just one of the commentators:

3     When an pathological education system is created and the end users’ mistreatment is disguised as educating, early in life--his or her individuality, intellectual abilities and psyche are attacked that is an unjust punishment which sets up a cycle of failure and eventually lead to bad choices, the individual lose the ability to know what is normal. So many who are incarcerated lived a life of punishment from grade school, considering that African Americans during slavery were punished for reading, and forced to accept as fact that they were not smart and here prisoners with little establishment education won a debate over the intellectual elite. LOL!





Now, that's some heavy $hit right there! Granted, these guys made choices to do what they did but, society isn't guilt free by any stretch.
