Justice reform? You are probably talking about "The First Step Act", but that has only made a limited difference for inmates on the federal level. You do realize that was primarily a Democratic Party bill, right? Which had to be watered down in order to get hard line Republicans, such as Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas, to sign off on it. It did lead to the release of about 3,100 federal prisoners, who had their good-behavior time recalculated. It also made the 2010 Fair Sentencing Act's reduction in the disparities between sentences for crack and powdered cocaine retroactive, granting judges more freedom from mandatory-minimum sentences... but in the big scope of things, that isn't much, especially when you consider that under former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Justice Department's Bureau of Prisons curbed admissions to halfway houses and dismissed an Obama appointee tasked with reforming education within the federal prisons system.And you dolts on the left languish under the thought that the Democratic party gives two craps about black Americans. Lol. President Trump does not need a huge bump from Black voters to soon re-election. And when he wins he has 4 more years to destroy the narrative that the Dems care about black Americans post election day. Historical low unemployment justice reform he is beating you over the head with " your issues"

And let's face it, Trump has never apologized for his ad in the New York Times which both falsely pre-judged and condemned the "Central Park Five", where he called for the death penalty. Trump and his father were also sued by the U.S. Department of Justice in the 1970's for housing discrimination against blacks... that fact will continue to haunt him, and it is still highly relevant today. You seem to be under the opinion that black voters have a short memory about these type of things - history has shown that they do not.
Yes, he did. It was called "The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010". It was enacted on August 3, 2010 and it reduced the statutory penalty for crack cocaine offenses to produce an 18-to-1 crack-to-powder drug quantity ratio. "The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010" also eliminated the mandatory minimum sentence for simple possession of crack cocaine. I even referenced this act in that post that you replied to.Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
You are so freaking misguided that you have the freaking gall to claim it as a Democrat bill. You are right I forgot that President Obama truly had Justice reform during his 8 years. Oh wait that's right be he didn't.
Nice try Bernie Biden Bloomberg Bro

The lawsuit was based on evidence gathered by testers for the New York City Human Rights Division, which alleged that black people who went to Trump buildings were told there were no apartments available, while white people were offered units. The Trumps took the first settlement offer the government provided. The Trumps were required to place ads in local newspapers saying that they welcomed black applicants, and agree to familiarize themselves with the Fair Housing Act... so while they didn't have to admit wrongdoing, the Trumps did have to take several measures that they had previously fought hard not to take... including those ads.Were sued by the DOJ and case was settled with ZERO ADMISSION OF GUILT!

Why do I need to keep trying? "The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010" is definitely an example of criminal justice reform under the Obama Administration. I don't talk about Bloomberg much, in general. You can't run for mayor of NYC on a platform of anything other than being very tough on crime. However, that makes for a tough transition to run for the nomination of the Democratic Party for President. His candidacy has serious issues. He won't be the nominee.Lol. Keep trying.
What's more amusing is that Bloomberg has a terrible track record when it comes to blacks but you don't point that out.
I have stated before to everyone on the left please continue making everything about race. It is working splendidly for you.

I think it’s hilarious that to run for the Dem nomination for President, it hurts to be “tough on crime”. Pretty much sums up that baseWhy do I need to keep trying?
