“HUG A THUG” Obama says background checks are racist… except when used against gun purchasers

Yes, Barack Obama believes that background checks are racist and should be discontinued and has issued an executive order that said background checks may have a “disparate impact” on racial and ethnic minorities, and as such, are a violation of civil rights laws.

Not everyone agrees with Obama’s “hug a thug” ideology:

(Investors Business Daily) – “The federal government should not use criminal history to screen out applicants … simply because of a mistake that they made in the past,” Obama intoned. A mistake? Felonies are serious warning flags.

Tell it to Sue Weaver, an Orlando housewife who was raped, murdered and set on fire by an AC repairman who got into her home because his employer failed to do a background check on the two-time convicted rapist. Or Carrie Smith and Beth Morgan of Detroit, who were stalked by an unvetted Sears contractor with six criminal convictions, including aggravated stalking.

…Obama wants to make all private employers blind to potential drug addicts, thieves, larcenists, sex offenders and con artists in the workplace.

It’s clear that in his final days in office, the president is making it a priority to give leniency to criminals.

He announced other hug-a-thug policies Monday at his “criminal justice reform” speech in Newark, N.J., where Democratic Sen. Cory Booker joined him on the stage. He’s pushing bills not only to permanently prohibit the government and its contractors from asking job applicants about criminal histories in questionnaires but also to further slash sentences for crack dealers. They include:

• Removing criminal background checks on Section 8 housing.

• Giving Pell grants to incarcerated inmates.

• Granting SBA loans to parolees.

• Capping all in-state and interstate prison phone rates for inmates and their contacts on the outside.

While ex-cons deserve a second chance after serving their time, employers deserve the right to screen job applicants for criminal histories to protect themselves and their workers. And the government has no business stopping them.

Background checks are racist and may be a violation of civil rights laws, except when it comes to buying guns.  IN that case, racist background checks are A-OK with Barack Hussein Obama.
