BLACK PASTORS want more BLACK MURDERERS sentenced to DEATH! (03-07-2014)
The NAAWP couldn’t concur more with these BLACK PASTORS ASSERTATIONS!
Now for the REST of the STORY:
Black pastors in Jacksonville, Florida called for an increase in the number of black criminals being sentenced to the death penalty. Why? These pastors believe that increasing penalties for ‘black-on-black’ crime will curb crime in the black community.
“The message has to get out — a strong message that black life does matter, that there is a value attached to it,” Pastor Kenneth Adkins said.
Adkins is disappointed that there aren’t protests, like the ones we witnessed during the Zimmerman trial, when ‘black-on-black’ crimes occur.
“Where is the outrage when it’s black-on-black crime? Adkins told News4Jax. “Where are the marchers, where are folks that are fighting and those that are upset? It should be the same amount of passion from the community standpoint.”
What these black pastors seem unwilling to acknowledge is that what they’re advocating has already been attempted with mandatory minimum sentences. Many in the black community, including members of the Congressional Black Caucus, believed that enacting mandatory minimum sentences would reduce black crime. Instead of a drastic drop in black crime, the end result was a mass incarceration epidemic.
The New Yorker’s Adam Gopnik aptly described the inspiration behind mandatory minimum sentences:
The mandatory-minimum movement was a way, typical of the fear-and-revenge cycle of the eighties, to prevent those damned liberal judges from letting drug offenders loose. It was a way to short-circuit permissiveness—not to mention decency, common sense, and simple mercy—by insisting that an offense that is no worse, really, than being caught with a Martini in a speakeasy should be met with enough prison time to ruin a life.

FACT: “BLACK LIVES MATTER – WHITE LIVES MATTER – HISPANIC LIVES MATTER – ASIAN LIVES MATTER – MUSLIM LIVES MATTER – PEOPLE who take those LIVES no longer matter to most of U.S.” (TRAINAISM)
