“I’ve been telling this story for about a year and a half, two years now,” Mr. Paul said at a Baltimore County GOP dinner in Maryland, Bloomberg Politics reported. “It makes me sad. I thought about not telling the story again. But I think this young man’s memory should help us to try to change things. He died this weekend. He committed suicide. His name was Kalief Browder. He was a 16-year-old teenager from the Bronx. He was arrested, accused of a crime and sent to Rikers.”
“Are we going to let you be raped and murdered and pillaged before you’ve been convicted?” said Mr. Paul, a 2016 GOP presidential candidate. “He wasn’t even convicted! So when I see people angry and upset, I’m not here to excuse violence in the cities, but [when] I see people angry, I see where some of the anger is coming from.”

Kudos to Mr Rand Paul for actually having the backbone to tell the truth on this hot button issue. I don't see it coming from the other candidates right now.

Tis true, but because he speaks a lot of truth, the Party Structure won't let him through.

Is this where everyone has to buy into the BS white privilege nonsense or we all get labeled as racists? Progressive trolls don't want to seriously talk about issues or truths... they need a comment to help further divide and segregate the population for political benefits of their party. Paul is very smart, very poignant and
Thanks to the OP poster for not actually providing any factual information or context such as this from his own link:
The issue is about being jailed without a trial and without being found guilty - and the kid committing suicide because he was jailed illegally.
What are the issues and "truths" that "progressive trolls" do not want to seriously discuss?

Seems like an abusive criminal justice system has been something progressives have been discussing for a long time....
Yet the OP describes it dishonestly by attempting to divide people in an attempt to cast racial bias against Paul. They've been dividing people by economic class and race a long time too.
The OP just quoted the conservative Washington Times...

Ironic since both Pauls wants to legalize racial and other types of discrimination by businesses.
Race for one, the myth of white privilege for another. As the OP demonstrated.
I don't think anyone can do any honest reflection about American society and deny that there is a privilege granted to whites in America, especially white, Christian males.

What is a troll? A little evil fellow who lives under a bridge?
Point taken - that is the title of the Washington Times article. I'll accept that I may be a bit harsh on the OP poster in this regard. I'm not adverse to having a knee jerk reaction every once in a while.
