The head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division: slavery and Jim Crow are responsible for the violence and property damage in Baltimore and Ferguson

Colorado – The head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, Vanita Gupta (picture), told a group of lawyers in Colorado slavery and Jim Crow are responsible for the violence and property damage in Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri.

Gupta said police have historically played a role “in enforcing and perpetuating slavery, the Black Codes, lynchings and Jim Crow segregation” and said this legacy is partially responsible for the “negative interactions that individuals — or their family members, friends, or neighbors — have had with law enforcement.”

Instead of blaming lawlessness and criminal activity for the looting, arson and violence in Ferguson and Baltimore, Obama’s DOJ believes “criminal justice policies over the last few decades” and “economic exploitation of the poor” are responsible. More
