yeah usually it has to be a major offence or an offence that might have to do with the job you do but with a criminal record it is possible to get an ok job, maybe not a governmentjob or as a lawyer or doctor
But why was the initial focus of this argument on black people? The discussion initially was overall arrest records, and then it was even more racist with the code 'turks'. No wonder he was in poor lighting and had red splotches.Ugh I feel dirty now.
all i'd like to say is i'm black, don't have a criminal record, doesn't listen to rap music(R&B is cool), I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs, hell i don't even dress black, but i still cant get a job
@StephonWallace I hear you brother. Then when we say racism some white pig says "race card" user ! Do they ever wonder why the card is in the deck in the 1st place !? White people suck and their race is shrinking, thank God.
Our stimulus goes to other countries? Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy revealed $60 million of the $1.2 billion given to the agency in economic stimulus funds to study climate change. While some might consider the expenditure frivolous, especially given the nation’s financial woes, it should be noted that some of the equipment was not even intended for use in the U.S. but rather was deployed to facilities in the Maldives, India and Australia. Money that could have gone to unemployment ???
@StephonWallace Do you have a college degree or any applicable skills? Employers won't just hire you because you haven't done anything wrong, but because you have something to add to their company or you fill a need.
Not wanting to hire criminals is not discrimination.
LOL Blame the "war on drugs" not the scumbags who sell the stuff. Tough shit. Want a job? A) Don't sell drugs or B) Don't get caught.
This is what I hate about Liberals... How the heck is this keeping "black people down"? NOBODY is preventing blacks from gettings job, they are preventing drug dealers from getting jobs.. If blacks sell more drugs than whites or latinos then that is 150% THEIR FAULT.
@oodlesofosz the hell u say.. If it was easy for everybody to get a job especially blacks, nobody will sell drugs just to make it.. See people like u always throughing ya comments around and never experienced hard decision
u had it easy so u wouldn't undrstand and wouldn't care about the struggle.. The law targets Black people anyways that why those five Police officers in New orleans will rot in prison just like the others have been already
Meth and crack addicts can and DO become violent and may also commit crimes to support their addictions.
If you hire a drug-related convict after he gets released, how are you supposed to trust that person to stay off the drugs?
Having a hard time finding a job after incarceration is just something people have to accept as a consequence of a very bad life decision they made. Sorry, no sympathy here.
@Lonsoleil I'd agree with you regarding crack or other very hard drugs, but what about people who have criminal records for smoking marijuana? If your employee is a gambler (which is legal in some states as far as I know), he's probably much more likely to steal from you etc. than if he is a pot smoker! You'd be right if you had to commit some serious crimes to get incarcerated in the US, but 25% of the population having criminal records shows that that's not the case, so this is wrong.
@Lonsoleil You disagee with Cenk on just this??? Do you hear the BS coming out of their mouth??? And if someone gets denied because their criminal they suggest it is racist? That right there says everything about the judgement of TYT.
Even though the stupid war on drugs is part of the reason that many americans are incarcerated, there are other countries with strict drug laws that don't have the same level of criminality. After much research, I have concluded that americans are more violent and also more criminal in almost every category.
@JASONNHENCHMENN i never said whites were subhuman. i said YOU PEOPLE were subhuman. because even though you look like white people in reality you're not. it's no different from the spiks or the niggers that commit crime. they only look like black people or hispanic people but they're not. there's a subhuman species in all of our races. they're the ones responsible for all the shit that happens in our world today. black people and white people dont commit crime. only subs like you do.
@JASONNHENCHMENN you mean primitive tribesmen like the hopi, and enlightenment only occured after christian europe had led the world into darkness, and it was based on civilisations only preserved by non-european cultures, you know, those arab types.., and in the meanwhile the light of the enlightened western civilisations was almost a nuclear one that could have destroyed most of the planet, and dont make it a debate about the merits of enlightenment..
@random0815 .. as if our culture was made of and only only based on goethe, payne, smith and montesquieu, and as if they didnt take inspiration of foreign cultures like islam, native american, indian aso., and dont get me wrong, id be the last one to deny the merits of these men and enlightenment, its just that they are just one small part of the reality of western culture
Quick semi-related question: If the majority of people with criminal records are black, how does not hiring someone with a criminal record make business owners rascist or descriminatory? They don't say 'I will only hire white people with criminal records' they just don't hire people with criminal records. I understand that many black people live in the bad side of neighborhoods, but that's a problem for the government offices, not for business owners who look for someone with a clean record.
In every job application I've done, with the prior criminal background section, next to the box where to check yes or no, theres always read in paranthesis: Checking Yes will not automatically disqualify for position. Bullshit.
I graduated from 4 schools. I got my masters 8 years ago, and I still do not have a job that pays at least 25K per year. I only clean bathroooms, sell shoes and things like that. I have a good credit history, never been in jail, and never been involved in drugs.
@JASONNHENCHMENN well people tend to be more comfortable around their own kind :)
when you had a white working class the nation still had to deal with your kind as well remember that. what you think yokels like you never existed in the 1930's? you are NOT a white person. you are white trash. there's a difference. one is human and the other is not. white people are human. rednecks are sub-human. think of yourselves as the niggers of the white race.
One problem with the system is we now have "crimes" that are misdemeanors which in past times were nothing more than summary offences like DUI with no accident or injury.Now they are making so many laws criminal offences unless you're a saint it will be impossible not to have a criminal record.However I don't think a store should be forced to hire someone with a record for retail theft. Soon a want ad will state the following" anyone who is not a minority with a criminal record need not apply".
@JASONNHENCHMENN yeah, remember the blissful wonderland that was early capitalism, the happy white kids in the factories and their happy fathers in the coal mines, there are certainly cultures who enjoy scourging the joy out of life with all-consuming labour more than others, but thats not between blacks and whites, by f.e. japanese standards much of the west could be considered lazy
there is no freedom, we rent out our entire lifes out to our future employer, you dont even have to have been in jail, if you have some hole or flaw in your vitae or you are simply too old the "chance" you get is at best wage-slavery till the end
War on drugs is just another way to oppress a people.
Let the drugs come in - arrest them and feed the industrial prison complex - use the inmates to manufacture for the state for pennies on the dollar as a legal system of borderline slavery or indentured servitude - then send them back out to the world with no skills or future prospects - on an easily violated probation/parole - and wait for them to get swept in the next net that brings them back into the hands of the greedy system.
So it's the white man's fault that blacks have criminal reconds, and if they don't hire these blacks they're racist? WTF is wrong with people? Good grief. Why are whites blamed FOR EVERYTHING? Give me a damn break.
I know waay too many cases of people who go to jail for doing drugs and get super LONG sentences and then can't get a job when they get out, I know one dude who went to jail for life with NO parole just for a tiny pint of marijuana. My cousin got a job at Sea World and was immediately fired because of his record (doing marijuana) so he went back on the streets cause he couldn't get any job,had no money..etc..it's sad a plant can get you life in prison.
I am glad that I am not a policeman or ever had been one becase of all the innocent people put in jail that is now out and all the drug arrests that are out and all the brutality that the police have committed & hurt many other people by lying and putting them in jail there must be millions of very angry people when shit hits the fan they will hunt police down like a dog with rabies and cut his head off and put it a pole police and armed and retarded they R cowards
Another great way to control your population make them owe you for their job and throw them into the Pen under any Nonviolent 'Crimnal Offense'. As long as they OWE you or Fear you they will do what their masters want, now if they can only figure out a way to make joining a Union or being a progressive activist a Criminal offense it will be a win win for them.
The US needs to correct its laws. Has anyone looked into US privatized jails? That's right people profit from your arrest & petition to keep petty, archaic, ridiculous laws to keep their cells full!!! In Texas you go to jail over a speeding ticket even a parking ticket&some cops get away with beating u first!! It is disgusting! You can not trust the crime fighting forces because its no longer a civil duty to protect. It a sense that means Police work for the private sector. Conflict of interest?
i thought these fucking nazis died ...im not even going to pollute the air around me by playing this video a paused it at 01 just to tell you you american traitors nazi propagandists and you have lost the debate ..thumbs down for propaganda
You know who were Nazis ? NAZIS ! You know those guys and gals that ravaged Europe in the 30's and 40's and killed millions of people ? I don't see TYT or anyone that has been watching them advocating National Socialism or scape-goating all our countries problems on a small sect of society such as the jews, the muslims, the homosexuals, etc ... do you ? Seriously, think before you type next time.
@mustanggundam realy you think they DONT advocate for national socialism...dont they support the president? you know the liar who is trying to nationalize healthcare, the guy who used to work for SEIU the union who admits there agenda is SOCILAIST, AND he recieves funding from an ex nazi Goerge Soros....so the next time you rebut someone try somebody who doesnt know what there talking about NAZI
Nonsensical gun laws also contribute to this problem.
Here in TN, if you are caught with any amount of cocaine and you have a firearm on you (even if its legal), its a level 1 class A felony w/ a mandatory sentence of 8-12 years. So really this is a why to put blacks they suspect are in gangs away.
I just don't see how you liberals don't take the same approach to guns as you do drugs. Simply banning them won't make them go away.
it depends on how you define crime, american laws are fucked up, if i smoke weed im considered a criminal??? get the fuck out of here, you gonna label regular honest citizens that instead of getting drunk like to smoke a joint then thrown in jail if a cop smells you so im a fucking criminal for smoking a joint of herb. please re define criminal cause in america that word along with terrorist is manipulated
If you know its against the law and what will happen to you, then you know its not good. So now you blame the employer for protecting its company..lol..what a joke the United States are...i'm black with a criminal record so it the white man's fault. Take responsiblitiy for your own action. I would not hire either someone who has a criminal record, it more likely they will steal from the business...its a fact...
This problem is beyond discriminatory,it's outright lunacy.just go to craigs list or anywhere and fucking LOOK at the job adds,most of them say under the requirements that you can't have a criminal backround,soo they discourage you before you even apply.my aunties a registered nurse with a jaded past,from 27 years ago.she's mastered her profession now for about fourteen n.and it just took her 2 years to get work,27 yeas ago i mean come the fuck on.Where's the incentive to change?
Cenk is missing half of the problem. I agree we have to end the war on drugs, but there is a feature in the American penal system that is not found anywhere else in the developed world. Every other country automatically expunges your conviction (with the exception of murder) after a certain amount of time has passed. So a violent criminal would have to wait 20 years (for example) while the drug dealer might get a fresh start after 1 or 2. Either way, you get a fresh start.
Well then, it's perpetual welfare for 25% of Americans at the taxpayer expense. How much is that per month, per year and for a life time? And then Americans wonder why their country is going down the shitter with $14 TRILLION owed largely to communist China. War on drugs....sure, but it will only cost you your entire country. Makes sense, right? Marijuana vs vodka? Which is stronger?
1 of the best scams I've seen going was on "Cops" in Florida. The Cops set up a sting operation selling $10 bags of weed and when the people bought the $10 BAG of WEED they were arrested and their vehicles seized under their asset forfeiture law. You could buy your vehicle back from them or they just sell it at auction! How is this legal?
Great. Blame the judicial system instead of the people committing the crimes.
No sorry. A criminal is a criminal.
What needs to be done is to build stronger, gang-less black communities and try to do something to prevent them from commiting crimes. You can't blame the judicial system for other people committing crimes. That's silly.
That's like me not doing my homework, and instead of punishing me, my parents punish the super intendant....it doesn't make sense.
The judicial system in regards to drug offenses is inherently flawed and outdated. If you are caught possessing marijuana in any context, then you will be convicted and have a criminal record. Thats how easy it is. You can't just say "well they committed a crime, they're criminals" when those crimes are actually of such a small calibre that anybody, ANYBODY could commit them. It has everything to do with the poverty that a system like this causes.
@MinmatarThrasher Look, nobody is saying that people who commit crimes aren't fuck ups. What we're saying is, unless they commit a crime like murder, they WILL be released in to society again. Which means we have to deal with them. Jail time won't deterr them if they can't find a job that pays the bills. So we need to find a way for someone to be ABLE to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. We don't have that in the US, but everywhere else they do.
I can say though from expierence that I do have a criminal record as well and it does make finding work difficult...however I CAN pay a hefty fee to have it removed from my record. There's a legal term for it but I can't remember what it's called....so there ARE ways to rid serious misdemeanors and less serious felonies from your record.
But if you're like a murderer or rapist...that stuff has to stay IMO.
@Hemulen40 that may change, repiggies want to pass a law that gives anyone who has a poor credit score a criminal file so essentially you won't be able to work. It's bad enough that they don't regulate the credit score system so anyone and everyone can make a claim on you no matter what, and that anyone who loses their jobs also loses points in their credit system almost instantly after losing their job. it's a seriously poor system.
@Hemulen40 you bet! way to fall in line and allow the State to tell you to jump and without questioning, you say, "how high?" Those 3 out of 4 are better than the 1 out of 4.
"Half of the Inmates are there because of drug offenses" And we wonder why our prison system is so overcrowded. We really need to reform our nonsensical drug laws... oh wait that would be "too radical"...
I wonder if a study would show that whites with a criminal record have it easier than blacks in the same scenario. I personally know a lot of white people with criminal records and they seem to be just as successful as anyone else. I'm always surprised to learn about their past because their present lives seem so perfect.
But I don't know many black people and couldn't make that comparison.
This is so true. I spent a night in jail and three-quarters of the population there were in for drugs and alcohol. The other quarter were actual criminals.
America has to be one of the most hypocritical countries on the Earth. We claim to support democracy, but prop up dictators if doing so serves our needs. We have less than 7% of the world's population, but over 25% of the world's prison population. The police are (generally) a bunch of bigoted, Neo-Nazi assholes on a power trip. They have big guns, small badges, smaller brains, and near- total immunity in court.
@ZoneofZay Hey little kid...stay in school, get a job, and maybe then you'll have enough of a life to stop following me around on all the videos I watch and voice my opinion on.
@MsTacoman12 Haha, you're really in over your head, if you assume I'm following you, personally. I just respond to some of the more bullshit things I read, that's all.
btw, I'm in college and I'm pretty comfy there too. :P
@marlboroman67213 Exactly, except that those at the top rarely do time for their crimes, in fact some of them are rewarded with our tax dollars. Why aren't the thieves on Wall Street doing time for their crimes?The majority of them are the so called "white, peaceful, conservatives,"that you speak of. Also, much of the worlds strife is caused by the greed and "interests,"of old, wealthy, white men. I just had to call you out on your comment since it's filled with willful ignorance and hypocrisy.
I love how white people try to flip things around and make it seem like black people are at fault for slavery, the lynchings, segregation, using black babies as alligator bait. etc. etc... It makes me smile.
@GoSuMonSteR Nobody is trying to flip anything, sweetie. But trying to ignore the fact that the black population did, in fact, have some hand in it is just ignorant and biased.
@GrowTheTruth LMao. Slavery has existed since the beginning of man's conscious existence. Slavery was not the only issue, my friend. If we were just talking about slavery itself then every group on earth would be guilty of some sort of slavery. You're using the fact that some tribes in Africa sold slaves (and some slaves were also stolen from Africa) as a way to minimize what your ancestors did. It's kindof like a child trying to get out of trouble, "Oh but jimmy did that tooOoo!"
You know if we just made pot legal then most of those drug offenses wouldn't be a problem. As for companies not wanting to hire former criminals, I think that's their right. If you take away who the companies can and can't hire, you may as well just tell them who they have to hire. That sounds an awful lot like Communism doesn't it?
@yoyomasterbrad "If you take away who the companies can and can't hire, you may as well just tell them who they have to hire. That sounds an awful lot like Communism doesn't it?"
Another fun fact, greater than 90% of criminal cases in American never go to trial.
The plea bargain is a trap, mandatory minimum sentencing is the specter of fear.
American citizens equate to 5% of the world's population, and within our own borders we represent 25% of the world's incarcerated.
There are more Black Americans behind bars today under the war on drugs than were enslaved at the end of slavery and Black Americans are incarcerated at a rate 5.7 times higher than under Apartheid.
Yes, but a lot of imprisonned black people are being exonerated too. When it costs 3 years wages to get a decent lawyer, when the police are less than honest in their courtroom testimonies due to an ingrained pre-disposition that all black people are bad, when decent education and employment are simply not available - wrongful convictions are bound to be the norm...
@crocfme Nonsense, these men are being exonerated for rapes becuz now we have DNA tests that can prove their innocense. However, back then, the Left was big into rape victim rights. Back in the 80's the Left really pushed the idea how women are victimized twice having to see their attacker in court, having to endure embarrassing questions from the defense, etc. It wasn't the cops, it was u lefties that created this atmosphere where all a woman had to do was accuse a man and he was quilty.
Leftie? LOL I'm actually considerred quite right wing by Australian standards. Here, the only time rape victims are excused testifying in open court is when they are minors - and even then its done via video link. The crime of rape has never been taken lightly here; investigations are thorough and juries often take days to reach a verdict. There was a time here when a white woman could have a black man convicted on flimsy evidence - a long time ago. The US?: Not so long ago....
@crocfme Let's see. You are a TYT fan. Quick to blame the cops. And just as quick to invoke the race card. Sounds leftie to me. In any event, I do blame the liberals for creating an atmosphere in the 70's and 80's that made it very difficult for an alleged rapist to get a fair trial. Cops didn't just pull these guy out of thin air. It was usually the victim that made the false/mistaken identification.
The US typically has very rigorous judicial protection compared to most countries actually.
Being of mixed British ans Australian Aboriginal descent, the "race card" is something that has been thrust upon me pretty much every day of my life! Peace and good wishes...
You have no knowledge about that which you speak, your words espouse your own beliefs, not simple truths.
Racial profiling is alive and well in American. It's a matter of this decade, not some hazy past. Read "The Black Dragon", by Joseph Collum and then come back and talk after you've been educated.
@robinhoodtheorem We aren't talking about racial profiling. We are talking about rape where the victim identifies their attacker. So when a victim says she was raped by a white man, do you really think the cops instead go out looking for black male suspects? Come now. A little common sense next time please.
Also I would like to add that Barack Obama is an Imperialist! Now they have found a new way to legitimize another war. This is the new method to attack countries and occupy countries that are not under the influence of American imperialism. Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Now Libya! Next stop....another war after war after war the criminals are the ones who continue this system. Take from the middle class and give to the rich. Robin Rich's.
personal information on the individuals they are hiring. The new day of discrimination involves all of these issues. It not a race discrimination that jobs are doing but the discrimination of someone who committed a small offense. A long time ago or how much credit someone has. This system also lacks adequate defense of those arrested. The state provides them with no real defense lawyers. They are interns or get paid even if they win or lose a case. Unlike a private lawyer which is why the
There has been articles written on this exact topic that people should definitely read. There is an organization that tries to tackle these very issues. But I would like to say that its not only that its smaller issues that have been affecting many Americans. Small misdemeanors or violations etc that affect millions of young individuals to get into the work force. The system not only discriminates in this perspective but also in terms of individuals credit. Where jobs attempt to find deeper
The government flew cocaine into America, gave it to dealers like "Freeway" Ricky Ross on consignment, and gave birth to the crack cocaine epidemic.
The bottom line is felon disenfranchisement and the War on Drugs is the preferred mechanism. Felons may legally discriminated against for housing, employment, and educational opportunities both government and private. They can be prohibited from voting, serving on a jury, serving in the military, etc.
It probably should be 1 in 3. Some people are just good at avoiding the law.
Myself, the biggest law I've broken is jaywalking. In my short eighteen years, I consider that an accomplishment, because it means I didn't click "Yes, I'm 18" at a certain cite when I wasn't, I didn't download music, I didn't shoplift pokemon cards when it was a cool thing to do.
In today's society, its a shame that could be considered an accomplishment.
TYT trying to cover for Dear Leader and explain why we have 20+% unemployment (including those who have stopped looking). Its the companies fault! Stupid companies not hiring criminals! This is outrageous!
@Sneezlebob Yes our freedom from Corporations running the government, our freedom from hatred, our freedom from corruption, our free medical our #1 rated school system, the fact we have more oil than any other country on earth, the fact the world loves us and hates you makes us suck, right.
@Sneezlebob America is corrupt all the way to the supreme court, polititians lie on TV 24/7 and take bribes from businesses to vote against the people best interests? Wars eat up all your taxes, your cutting education when you already at the bottom of the list for education, I could go on for hours. Why do I hate your country? 2 times in my life my company has lost big money, the dot bomb bubble caused by corrupt American CEO's in 2000 and the banking meltdown caused by crooked American Banks
@derberg19486 Naw. Canada has just as much corruption and corporations running the government as America. I'm Canadian and even I know that. No country is safe from corruption. Don't kid yourself in to believing that Canada is the world's perfect little angel. We're not.

Quick semi-related question: If the majority of people with criminal records are black, how does not hiring someone with a criminal record make business owners rascist or descriminatory? They don't say 'I will only hire white people with criminal records' they just don't hire people with criminal records. I understand that many black people live in the bad side of neighborhoods, but that's a problem for the government offices, not for business owners who look for someone with a clean record.

One problem with the system is we now have "crimes" that are misdemeanors which in past times were nothing more than summary offences like DUI with no accident or injury.Now they are making so many laws criminal offences unless you're a saint it will be impossible not to have a criminal record.However I don't think a store should be forced to hire someone with a record for retail theft. Soon a want ad will state the following" anyone who is not a minority with a criminal record need not apply".

War on drugs is just another way to oppress a people.
Let the drugs come in - arrest them and feed the industrial prison complex - use the inmates to manufacture for the state for pennies on the dollar as a legal system of borderline slavery or indentured servitude - then send them back out to the world with no skills or future prospects - on an easily violated probation/parole - and wait for them to get swept in the next net that brings them back into the hands of the greedy system.

Nonsensical gun laws also contribute to this problem.
Here in TN, if you are caught with any amount of cocaine and you have a firearm on you (even if its legal), its a level 1 class A felony w/ a mandatory sentence of 8-12 years. So really this is a why to put blacks they suspect are in gangs away.

Cenk is missing half of the problem. I agree we have to end the war on drugs, but there is a feature in the American penal system that is not found anywhere else in the developed world. Every other country automatically expunges your conviction (with the exception of murder) after a certain amount of time has passed. So a violent criminal would have to wait 20 years (for example) while the drug dealer might get a fresh start after 1 or 2. Either way, you get a fresh start.

The judicial system in regards to drug offenses is inherently flawed and outdated. If you are caught possessing marijuana in any context, then you will be convicted and have a criminal record. Thats how easy it is. You can't just say "well they committed a crime, they're criminals" when those crimes are actually of such a small calibre that anybody, ANYBODY could commit them. It has everything to do with the poverty that a system like this causes.

@MinmatarThrasher Look, nobody is saying that people who commit crimes aren't fuck ups. What we're saying is, unless they commit a crime like murder, they WILL be released in to society again. Which means we have to deal with them. Jail time won't deterr them if they can't find a job that pays the bills. So we need to find a way for someone to be ABLE to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. We don't have that in the US, but everywhere else they do.

@derberg19486 Do you want me to debunk your lies about Canada?

@derberg19486 Naw. Canada has just as much corruption and corporations running the government as America. I'm Canadian and even I know that. No country is safe from corruption. Don't kid yourself in to believing that Canada is the world's perfect little angel. We're not.

@derberg19486 This joke is pretty funny, considering we have over 5,000 nuclear warheads that could rain on your country and vaporize it within a matter of seconds :D
