Kamalya Harris

  1. Kamalya Harris wasn't thinking about Black Lives Matter when she locked up an abundance of African Americans and other black people as a prosecutor. There's a reason she pulled out of the race.

    5% support among Black voters. She has a terrible rep as a San Francisco district attorney and as a Californian attorney general.

    Let me inform you all about her prejudice towards our people...

    1. Fighting hard to keep innocent African Americans locked up. They were legitimately innocent. She opposee a DNA test that could have proven one's innocence.

    2. When the innocent did manage to prove their innocence, her office attempted to deny them compensation for their wrongful convictions... so in the case of Breanna Taylor she WOULDN'T have done SHIT for her or her family. Keep that in mind.

    3. Prosecutorial misconduct... she defending a prosecutor falsifying the transcript of a defendant's "confession."

    Now I WON'T tell you who to vote for, because I don't believe any candidate is a decent one.

    And in case some of you didn't know, she's married to a white man. NOT that there's anything wrong with that in general, but don't let Neo Nazi groups and supports convince you she gives a fuck about the lives of our beautiful black brothers and sisters.

    But don't take my word for anything, look it up. It would be lovely to have a female president, but the thought of her becoming president means no more innocent black men being freed from prison. It's the end of being able to prove your innocence... it's the end of having a fair trial. Remember, fuck the media, use your head

  2. Jails are being outsourced to private corporations. They have population quotas that they need to meet in order to get money. Mix that with the current lack of affordable housing. Poverty is a major reason behind crimes that will get you in jail. Prison is our affordable housing and where people coming off of heavy drugs go because our healthcare system has failed them.I doubted that many trials were fair when you can only afford a public defender who already has a ginormous case load. The system is broken, she's only one person.

    The list goes on... but I'll stop here for now.

    Facts over feelings.
     
  4. Why do Neo Nazi group members pretend to be black and expect anyone to fall for it?
