I agree he is foolish. And all of them was wrong (including Bernie), on paper it was probably meant for everybody, but they should have known it was only going to be enforced in minority neighborhoods.
Communities were literally burning down in 1994. Everyone wanted strict crime law. What changed the equation was the privatization of prisons - it became profitable to jail as many people for as long as possible. And the black community was easy to jail because most of them were poor and could not afford fancy lawyers. We need to stop treating drugs as a crime issue and deal with it as an addition issue. Except for the big time dealers - they can rot in jail.
why is the african american community constantly voting against their own interests? we need more african american leaders (that aren't connected to the clinton dynasty) to come out and represent real change (ie. bernie sanders). listen to nina turner, cornell west, spike lee... listen to bernie. think for yourselves.
Sandy Candy: The truth is, they need to stop listening to ALL of those people that enhance victimization. Instead, parents/guardians prepare and nurture their own children for school & academics, not ideologies. School isn't easy, but the rewards of a good education is what is needed. As citizens, demand better teachers. Learn and embrace their independent rights as individual sovereign American citizens, every American citizen is already protected by the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Civil Rights codes (prior to democrat rewrites in 2020). We've been fooled that modern globalist politicians & activists are more important, the truth is the founders/framers (regardless of race) were smarter and the citizenry 'are' protected. The People just don't realize others are keeping a job by acting as if they are fighting to protect them. Stop aspiration marketing to the kids, a sneaker is just a sneaker. Demand and embrace to help their own children be educated with real academics including reading, 'writing', arithmatic, science, english grammer, social studies, music, etc. Computer coding is for the corporatists, the vintage academics are for independence & ability to compete as children grow into adult leaders. Get these kids on the academic track for real college challenges, not softened studies that they will not be able to compete when they grow up. Teach them 'earning' an education is a worthwhile cause. Reform and military schools help teach disapline. But, the parents encouragement and neighborhood safety getting to & from school are more important.

+cebeeasy skeemask records -- Bernie Sanders VOTED FOR that bill in the Senate. Hillary was First Lady. The good thing is that BOTH of them want to make changes.
+Teammm Bernie Sanders voted for crime bill because it included a ban on assault weapons and it had the violence against women act. Not for the same reason as the Clintons who got rich of the privatising of prisons which in turn incarcerated as may people as possible to make as much money as possible.
Teammm Any buffoon can search the Web and see that Hillary takes money from the private prison lobbyist. Sad that you can't even do that and attack people who point out the facts to you.
The anchor gives the impression that the thing that divided the country about the crime bill was its effect on incarceration. Wrong. Yes, a significant number of Democrats (about a quarter of all Democrats) voted against it, but a majority of Republicans did, calling the bill "pork". That Republican opposition was the main source of division.
I understand with age comes experience...but with youth comes progress. They really need to put an age limit on congress....There is nothing wrong with retiring.
mea culpa 20 years too late. would this rep wouldn't be addressing this, if it weren't beneficial to clinton's campaign. his kin are likely getting the kick down... contracts, board seats, non profits, etc.
Politicians need to realize that their votes have consequences, an apology 22 years after the fact does very little to correct what was done. Everyone involved should resign and go home! Regardless of party or race!!!
Bernie VOTED for the Crime Bill and he should present a plan of change for that bill he supported. Not just excuses as to why he supported it like he always makes.
There were certain things that were included in the bill that bernie supported woman rights etc I'm in Canada and even I know this like pay attention and turn off the TV.
