THE "JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF LYNCHING ACT" IS RACIST AND SHOULD BE RE-TITLED "JUSSIE'S ACT"

THE "JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF LYNCHING ACT" IS RACIST AND SHOULD BE RE-TITLED "JUSSIE'S ACT" Let us not forget it was the Democrat Party that was for slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, anti-civil rights, and the KKK whereas the GOP, the party of Lincoln, not only reversed the practice of slavery but brought forth – against Democrat opposition – the modern civil rights legislation. Now the progressive socialist democrats want to advance the false impression that they are watching out for blacks in America. Nothing could be further from the truth if one looks at the inner cities, mostly governed by progressive socialist democrats and in many cases fronted by minority officials. Pretty much why I am offended by Kamala Harris’ email… kh-hdr Making History Friend, As Black History Month comes to a close, I'd like to point out the history that was made just last week when the Senate unanimously passed the Justice for Victims of Lynching Act. Lynching is a murder. It’s torture. But after a century of trying, it’s still not a federal crime. We must speak the truth about our past. These were horrendous acts of violence motivated by racism. And victims and families never received justice. I'm so proud we were able to get this done. With this bill we finally have a chance to offer some long overdue healing, justice and recognition to the victims of lynching and their families. We’re now one step closer to getting this bill finally signed into law. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "The time is always right to do what is right." Sincerely, Kamala kh-sig I do not care how you are killed, all murders, and those which involve some measure of torture should be treated the same no matter what instrument was used to bring about your death. As far as I am concerned, murder, with the exception of murder on federal property or in the military, should be a state matter and not federalized because of race. That is the constitutional manner where everyone is treated equally under the law. By federalizing this criminal act, one might wonder where all of this nonsense stops. It is as wrong as being tried for a crime, being found not guilty, and then being prosecuted for a civil rights violation to allow grandstanding politicians to point their fingers and say, “See, we are doing something.” By classifying lynching and attempted lynching as a federal hate crime, the legislation enables judges to impose additional sentencing enhancements on top of any other charges when determining the punishment for those convicted of such crimes. How soon will it be before someone, probably a Moslim Congress member introduces a bill claiming that defaming Allah is a federal hate crime? You will notice it is the Democrat Party that appears to be pro-criminal, allowing criminals to plea-bargain away the more serious charges in return for an assured “politically valuable” conviction. It is the Democrat Party that advocates the early release of criminals into our community. And it is the Democrats who fight against legislation enhancing sentences for drug- and gang-related shootings in the inner cities, especially for illegal alien perpetrators. And, you will notice that it is predominantly the Democrat Party that is against the death penalty, even in the clearest of cases where evidence assures the jury that the defendant committed the crime. Bottom line… If I am killed, I do not want my killer to get a lesser sentence or preferential treatment because of what they used to kill me or what they may have shouted when I was killed. Justice demands equality. The Constitution demands equality. We are so screwed. -- steve
