The NYT article linked in that Reuters article is missing.
From what i can tell the Top Cop story is pretty accurate.
Biden was also known as the "tough on crime guy" being a co-writer of one of the largest incarceration laws so they fit together perfectly. Two Republicans cosplaying as Democrats.
The slave owner family criticism is indeed far less relevant as a link to 1800's has like 32/64 people in the parents tree and chances are one of those will be a slave owner but 200 years later that's not super relevant to the children.
I was more talking about how the American justice system is legal slavery. By being the primary cause of incarcerating people, Haris is a slaver.
ffs. The USA has a long standing history of creating bs laws to incarcerate people. Do you seriously believe it is reasonable for someone to get 20 years in prison for a few flecks of weed. That also doesn't cover the police's long standing tradition of making up shit. Also also legality =/= morality
Wow, just look at all these unconnected facts that are said to contribute to systemic racism. Yup, totally unconnected.
No she isn't a slaver, that argument never works when used against one of us. And it's not an argument any decent liberal or progressive would use.
