MSNBC Guest: Black Men In Jail Because Of “Racist Criminal Justice System, Racist Law Enforcement, Racist Education System, Racist Health Care System”…
KING: The high incarceration rates are really just another example and symptom of institutional racism and white supremacy. The reason you’re seeing so many young black men in jail now is the confluence of racist criminal justice system, racist law enforcement, racist education system, racist health care system, and these things are racist and classist, and the two are intertwined. So, I feel like the reason that you’re seeing those high incarceration rates besides the draconian drug laws are just a confluence of, the confluence of white supremacy really.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Do you think that police officers do stop-and-frisk or any other kind of exercise in order to capture young men on drug charges?
KING: I think that they do it, the police do stop-and-frisk I think to get them in the system and to really to infect our minds and to make us believe that that’s where we belong and that this is the way we should be treated.
