Kris Kobach: 'Not A Huge Jump' To Think President Obama Could Ban Criminal Prosecution Of Blacks
Source: Right Wing Watch
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, one of the chief architects of the anti-immigrant movements legal and legislative strategies, told a caller to his radio program that it would not be a huge jump to predict that the Obama administration could call an end to the prosecutions of African Americans for any crime. Claiming that its already happened more or less in the case of civil rights laws, Kobach told listeners that Ive learned to say with this president, never say never.
Kobach was discussing the University of Minnesotas decision to stop including race and other physical descriptions in email alerts of crimes on campus unless they have sufficient detail that would help identify a perpetrator, when a listener named Stu called in to share a theory. Given the situation in Minnesota, given the recent story that Obama was instructing immigration enforcement to not enforce the immigration laws against illegal aliens, I dont think its too much of a stretch, Kris, to envision an announcement that any black person accused of a crime, charged with a crime, is not going to be prosecuted, regardless of the crime, he said, adding that weve already seen it from Eric Holder in his failure to prosecute the Black Panthers.
Holder, Kobach agreed, basically made it clear
.that the civil rights laws were only to protect minority races, and he was not going to be enforcing them to the benefit of white people who were discriminated against on the basis of their race. So, thats basically what youve described. So the word is going to come down that there just wont be any prosecutions of black criminals, Stu predicted. And I can see it happening. I dont think Im nuts for envisioning it.
Well, its already happened more or less in the case of civil rights laws, Kobach responded. So I guess its not a huge jump, I think its unlikely, but you know Ive learned to say with this president, never say never. Kobach got national attention back in November when a caller presented the outlandish scenario that a Latino majority in the U.S. would embark on an ethnic cleansing, to which Kobach responded in a similar noncommittal way, saying that while he didnt think its going to happen in America, under Obama things are strange and they are happening.

When I went to Washington State University (82-5), we were pretty close to Coeur d'Alene. There was a fairly sizable Aryan Brotherhood compound near there.
I heard most of it is gone now -- they moved.
Friends of mine from just across the border in Moscow used to say there are three parts to Idaho: Mormon south, Klan Panhandle and Boise
