Eric Holder's Ploy to Divert Attention from Obama's Expanded Prisons Budget
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by executive editor Glen Ford
Attorney
General Eric Holder claims to have just discovered racial disparities
in prosecution and sentencing in the United States. That’s like Robert
E. Lee claiming to be surprised at the existence of slavery. Holder is
making noises like a prison reformer to divert attention from the fact
that Obama’s budget calls for increased funding for prisons, in the
midst of austerity. It’s a con game.
