President Obama has stated that “much of our criminal justice system remains unfair” during Saturday’s Weekly Address, where he touted criminal justice reform. He is absolutely right. However, he is completely unaware of how unjust he has made this system.
He protects the criminals and the guilty while he foments the divisions in race and economics that fan the flames of crime, then hijacks the justice system to warp the outcomes.

Slow hand clap!
You Living in OUR White House make me SICK! You have Devided this Country Black/White and made it so Black can Kill or do anything else to Whites and you don’t care! Because of a FEW bad people! It’s time the Good People stand and Fight you!
Its unfair that the obama family is not dangling from ropes for treason.
lets start with you
yes to many on death row aren’t being killed as they should be
Yes and you need to be put in prison
But this just scratches the surface.
Hip-hop’s influence among prisoners is noteworthy, and for some who turn to Islam in prison, a foundation for conversion was likely set long before they stepped through the prison gates. For decades, musical motifs involving Islam, both doctrinal and heterodox, have been setting the table and providing a cultural context for conversion.
In hip-hop music, the prison has been and remains a focus of resistance. Early on, the horrors of imprisonment were brought to life by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five’s “The Message,” a song that tells of a young man’s prison experience that leads to rape, sex slavery and his own suicide-hanging. Later, the cover of Public Enemy’s 1988 album, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, would make a critical statement by depicting rappers Chuck D. and Flavor Flav behind bars.
Hip-hop lyrics illustrate a deep consciousness of prisons. In some songs, there are shout-outs to incarcerated Muslims and words of encouragement, as in Brother Ali’s “Shadows on the Sun”: “Tell my man Hasim in prison keep grinnin’ because he’s innocent, and tell him that the tests we get are heaven-sent.” At other times, an entire song or album can revolve around prison themes, as in No More Prisons Volume I and its sequel, Volume II, which each features a roster of Muslim rappers. Sometimes the lyrics take radical tones like DJ Krush & Company Flow’s Vision of Art: “Unsheathe the jihad blade and become animalistic, authority walks the plank, that’s implicit, the shambles of the gifted, dismantled and imprisoned.”
Prisons and hip-hop music contribute to Islam’s status as the fastest growing religion in the country. In prison, Islam continues to attract a vibrant following and prisons have made the African-American male convert a staple of African Americana, from Malcolm X to H. Rap Brown to Mike Tyson. Likewise, hip hop music has been fertilizer for the greening of America, comparable to reggae music’s role in propagating the Rastafarian faith. Often described as the “official religion” of hip-hop, Islam continues to influence the music, which shows no signs of diminishing anytime soon.”
Impeach Obama!
Lock his ads up
It sure is unfair, or else Obama would be impeached and imprisoned!
