Re: & #39;94 Crime Bill

Did you know...

1.) Black leaders in Congress supported it.

2.) Most Black Mayors supported the legislation as they grappled with violent crime.

3.) A 1994 @Gallup survey shows 58% of Black Americans supported it, compared to 49% of White Americans.

It shouldn& #39;t be lost on us that most Black people supported the bill because violent crime was so high in many Black neighborhoods & Black people wanted a solution to that.

These are just the facts, do with them what you want.

Were their unintended consequences, yes, but we can& #39;t talk about the legislation without talking about Black support for it.
