Civil rights attorney’s messaging to Black Americans is ‘false’ and ‘problematic,’ says Carol Swain

A prominent civil rights attorney suggesting that the U.S. justice system creates laws “to criminalize Black culture” and crime could be eradicated if they “change the definition of crime” is “problematic” and “ludicrous,” said legal scholar and political scientist Dr. Carol Swain. 

“We need laws to be obeyed, and we need a public that’s informed. And under no circumstances should we redefine crime so that it isn’t crime,” Swain told Fox News. “Are we going to redefine murder? Are we going to redefine rape? No, we don’t want to go down that path.”
