@ClintSmithIII: “Prosecutors … can just stop reform right in its tracks.” Yesterday, St. Louis stood up against a prosecutor that represented institutional racism in criminal justice and elected reformer-challenger Wesley Bell. https://theappeal.org/justice-in-america-episode-3-who-built-mass-incarceration-prosecutors/ … via@Justice_PodcastShow this threadThanks.

Making sure that people are accurately characterized when they run for office is incredibly important. I have no problem ensuring people know about Delgado’s credentials. We just have to make sure we’re not unintentionally reifying certain social hierarchies in the process.

Also, the content that made Delgado a “controversial rapper” was a critique of capitalism and racial injustice. And he says some of the founding founders believed in white supremacy. Soooo where is the lie? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/17/us/politics/antonio-delgado-lyrics.html …pic.twitter.com/fBX6pkhUfo

Going to Harvard doesn’t automatically mean you’re smart or ethical. Being a rapper doesn’t automatically mean you’re not. We’ve got to move beyond reductive notions that certain affiliations automatically mean something about a person’s intelligence or sense of morality.

When ppl respond to the assertion that being a rapper makes someone unqualified to run for office with the defense “But they received a fancy fellowship & went to an Ivy League school!” it almost legitimizes the implication that being a rapper is itself something to be ashamed of

A lot of ppl are responding to this saying, “But he was also a Rhodes Scholar & Harvard grad!” I understand the impulse, this is obviously ungirded w/racism, but also...what if he *was* only a rapper? Why would that automatically make him unqualified? The answer is, it doesn’t.https://twitter.com/nypost/status/1024809770820280320 …

@ClintSmithIII: "Across America there are people who haven’t been convicted of any crime, but who are still sitting in jails anyway, simply because they can’t afford to pay the bail. Meanwhile, wealthier people get to go home. ..." https://theappeal.org/justice-in-america-episode-1-justice-for-the-rich-money-bail/ … via@Justice_PodcastThanks.

It’s so important that there are books about mass incarceration that move beyond the history & sociology of the phenomenon. Those books are essential, but so are novels & poems & plays & songs that tell a different sort of story. We need them all.

I just finished
@tayari’s An American Marriage & it’s such a phenomenal novel & such a powerful way of showing the impact that incarceration has on both the person in prison & the people they love. If you haven’t read it you should. Don’t take my word for it, Oprah said so!Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
