She, today's Pocahontas is a fraud who lied about her lineage to get a job!

She might as well identify as a Martian or Klingon!
The people at Harvard who hired her said she already was hired by the time that form was filled out.

IIRC, she did attend an NA gathering and apologized. They accepted her apology. She did say she would work on their issues.

Must a congressperson work only on issues regarding their direct relationships?

The justice system is not racist, but it is classist. If you have they money, you avoid jail time and a fighting chance to avoid prison. If your are poor, do the crime do the time regardless of race.

Unlike Trump with releasing tax returns as most all politicians have previously did, she would be providing voters something that is typically never been made public.
And I propose that President Trump release his tax returns right after Obama releases all of his college records.


See how that works.

Blacks have been incarcerated in greater numbers for petty drug crimes, she is correct in that respect. The justice system is also greatly tilted towards those with money and places like Fergusson, MO certainly take advantage of poor people.

No that's not how it works, one has nothing to do with the other but I would love to see Trumps college transcript but his tax returns are what is important.


Every president since Nixon released his tax returns but I guess that audit is in its 3rd year, I guess that his supporters believe his lies.

Saying it is racist is not saying to do away with it...I don't get your point???

Do you think Pot and Coke became jail-able offenses because White People did them? Do you wonder why opiates are now a "disease" whereas before it was "lock them up"?

I learned this many decades ago. I was busted for Pot and brought into the Philly Police station. While in there I was put in a holding room with a black kid who had been caught smoking a J in the alley. I had been caught with separately wrapped grams of hashish.

Guess who walked out of there an hour later? Guess who stayed in? I saw that over and over again....

In case you really want to understand the present day situation (and I don't think you do) read and study this carefully. Then come back here and tell me our system is balanced.....

The US justice system is EXTREMELY racist, the drug laws are a great example, when they were first created, it was a tool used to control certain minorities and where they spent time in the city, it had absolutely nothing to do with protecting anyones health or safety.

The same thing is going on today, its not hard to spot.

The underlying mentality as a whole is racist but the players on the ground (local politicians, LE) are carrying out the orders due to profit motive...for the most part.

You know, once they get past the whole "these are poor minorities so their lives don't matter" thinking that allows them to execute the game plan.
