The ambulance-chasing lawyer who immediately shows up on the scene at any apparent racial incident appeared on MSNBC’s newest race-centered show, “Black Men in America: Road to 2024” alongside MSNBC contributors, Charles Coleman Jr, Trymaine Lee, and fellow race-baiter Al Sharpton.
The show is intended to highlight “the intersection of society, race and culture to provide a candid and intimate look at America through the eyes of an overlooked voting block [sic] —- Black men.”
This must be why the fire alarm pulling Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) announced that he formed a Hip Hop Task Force to address “inequities.”

We are no longer live in a serious country.
Can you just imagine his reaction if a Country Music Task Force was organized to address the concerns of rural, southern voters?
While MSNBC insists that Black men are “overlooked” as a voting bloc in America, there is no doubt that black culture plays an outsized role in shaping the larger culture. From music to fashion to language to activism, black culture is arguably more influential globally than any other.
That’s why this discussion is particularly relevant.
The discussion of how the criminal justice system in America occurred while Crump was playing a game of pool with the gaggle of MSNBC contributors.
Coleman, a former prosecutor, bemoaned the “circular argument” concerning authorities going “where the crime is.”
“I tell people all the time, if you looking for something, you gonna find it,” said Coleman. “So it becomes self-fulfilling in terms of, ‘Well, we go where the crime is.’ No, you’re going and you’re finding crime. And if you went somewhere else, guess what? You find it there too.”
After Trymaine Lee aborted his attempt to make the case that black men are treated as criminals simply on account of their skin color, Crump suggested that American laws were created to specifically target black citizens.

Crump, who has represented the families of George Floyd, Jacob Blake, Breonna Taylor, Tamir Rice, Malcolm X, and Ahmaud Arbery, has come up with a unique solution to solving the problem of rising crime — redefine it out of existance.
“We can get rid of all the crime in America overnight, just like that,” says Crump. “And people ask, ‘How, attorney Crump?’ Change the definition of crime.”
Crump goes on to say that laws were made to specifically target black Americans.
“They made the laws to criminalize our culture, black culture,” said Crump. “So when I think of Eric Garner, I would think of stuff like that.”
He went on to cite examples of this by saying that baggy pants and litter-strewn front lawns are examples of “black culture” that law enforcement uses to profile black Americans.
He then cites Eric Garner and George Floyd being targeted for the well-known black cultural tradition of … smoking cigarettes. Crump doesn’t mention the illegalities that either man had committed — in Garner’s case, he was illegally selling loose cigarettes (and well-known to NYPD), and Floyd had tried to pass off a counterfeit $20 bill to pay for his pack of smokes.
But hey, let’s not let facts get in the way of a good narrative, right?

Does he not hear himself?
Apparently not.
He’s essentially saying that all criminal behavior is part of black culture.
Is this why BLM activists insist that bias in the criminal justice system is “systemic”?
Are they saying that we just need to accept that criminal behavior is part of “black culture”?
The Western ideal has always been that a criminal justice system holds everyone to the same standard despite race, gender, religion, creed, political affiliation, or whatever other thing can divide people. That’s why Lady Justice is depicted as blind.
These guys don’t actually want to address the problems within the black community that causes criminality — poverty, fatherlessness, broken families, failing schools, and rampant distrust of law enforcement — they’d rather make excuses for criminal behavior and blame the legal system for being “systemically racist” against their “culture.”
Maybe it would be better to have the colorblind standards that Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for apply to everyone rather than define away crime to let criminals run rampant or ignore entirely the crimes committed and put thumbs on the scales of justice while crying racism anytime anyone in their community falls short of objective legal standards.
But hey, that would be bad for business for attorney Crump, wouldn’t it?
You bet it would.
And race-hoax loon Al Sharpton would become irrelevant.
What these successful black men couldn’t abide is that the black community would be better off if the root causes were actually talked about and addressed. Their grift would be over, and they couldn’t have that happen.
