"The Writer of 'The New Jim Crow' Contends that Hillary Clinton Should Not Receive Voting Support from the Black Community"
In an essay published by The Nation, Michelle Alexander, author of "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness," expressed opposition to Hillary Clinton's candidacy. Alexander criticized policies supported by Clinton during her time as Senator, particularly those related to the criminal justice system.
Alexander noted her opposition to Clinton due to policies that former President Bill Clinton enacted and she supported that were detrimental to black communities. She specifically mentioned the 1994 Crime Bill, which contributed to mass incarceration disproportionately affecting African Americans.
The essay discusses the support of African American voters for both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Alexander stated that it is not sensible for African Americans to support Clinton because her record supports policies that have harmed Black communities and failed to address systemic racial injustices.
Despite Bernie Sanders' vows to take on Wall Street and tackle mass incarceration, Alexander did not discuss any specific policies that Sanders has proposed to address these issues. Similarly, the essay did not provide specific examples of the policies that Alexander believes are detrimental to black communities.
The author of the essay published in The Nation is Matthew McIntosh, but the text does not mention his views on the candidates' policies. The essay does not provide a list of all posts written by Matthew McIntosh or any links to his website or social media platforms.
It is important to note that the essay does not discuss any policies that Bernie Sanders has specifically proposed to tackle mass incarceration. This leaves room for further discussion and analysis of Sanders' stance on criminal justice reform.
Alexander's criticism of Clinton's record on criminal justice reform adds to the ongoing debate about the candidates' positions on issues affecting African American communities. As the primary season continues, it will be interesting to see how these discussions evolve and how the candidates respond to such criticisms.
