John Edwards Tries Truth

John Edwards dares to tell the truth when asked what to do about "inner-city kids partaking in violence":
“We cannot build enough prisons to solve this problem. And the idea that we can keep incarcerating and keep incarcerating — pretty soon we’re not going to have a young African-American male population in America. They’re all going to be in prison or dead. One of the two.
Well, there goes his share of the black vote. One thing African Americans cannot tolerate is the truth. Jesse Jackson and The Rev. Sharpton - Two of America's foremost race-baiting African Americans - are going to go predictably ballistic.

I can hear it now:

It's all whitey's fault, it's always been whitey's fault, and it will always be whitey's fault. Now give us our $5,000 dollars per kid that Hillary suggested.

Mind you, I said "African Americans". Americans who just happen to be black are not part of the problem.

The other little secret he let out is that "inner city criminals" = "african-american".

Of course, it is easy for him to say "stop locking them up". He knows they don't live in his neighborhood.
