Race hustler Ibram X Kendi (born Henry Rogers) is working to get felony murder laws abolished in the name of fighting anti-black racism.

"Massachusetts's felony-murder rule still imposes disproportionate sentences and leads to racial disparities," Kendi said in a statement for his Boston University Center for Antiracist Research.

"CAR's amicus brief argued that felony-murder prosecutions are racist and the racial disparities will persist under the current felony-murder rule in MA," Kendi's statement continued. "The felony murder rule leads to life without parole sentences that disproportionately target people of color."

"To prevent the continuation of disproportionate unconstitutionally cruel, and racist sentencing, CAR's amicus brief argued that the felony-murder doctrine should be abolished."

Kendi's move follows Democrats in Maryland pushing a similar "antiracist" bill to shield anyone under 25 from being charged with felony murder due to their "frontal lobes not being fully developed."

We should actually consider expanding our laws to hold shysters like Kendi responsible for the surge in murder and other violent crimes which their policies have produced.

Felony murder laws are often abused. It's probably intended to increase penalties for criminals in cases where an innocent victim dies as an indirect result of a felony crime, but it's also applied when one of the criminals cohorts gets killed by police or an armed victim, and even times when 2 thugs split up after a crime and one gets killed when the other is a half mile away. Of course we're all for penalizing thugs for the crimes they actually commit, but when the state piles charges on in an abusive manner, it's going beyond the intent of the law and stretches moral boundaries.

As for felony murder being racist, that of course is a load of crap.
