"“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.”"
This statement is such an over statement it is silly. If a conservative had made a statement like this, they would have been tarred and feathered and hung before the news cameras. This is a clear attempt to play to blacks for their votes. Edwards is not only demeaning the government and whites in this statement, he is demeaning blacks. Claiming that without government help, the whole race of young men can't avoid prison or death.
