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.
At the @antiracismctr, we believe felony murder is unconstitutionally cruel and racist. We filed an amicus brief to get this rule abolished.
We are joined by @SentencingProj @endfelonymurder @Kat_Albrecht @MassCrimDefense and @thecouncilus in filing this brief. pic.twitter.com/rcDskjVoVz
