Disparaging Racial Disparity

The old black woman from Memphis, Rep. Steve Cohen, is introducing a bill which would require the Attorney General to "create a pilot program to examine racial and ethnic disparities in the criminal justice system within 10 U.S. districts across the country."

Cohen, who is being challenged by Niki Tinker in Memphis almost solely on the basis that he is a White Jew in a majority Black district, said:

“As the lead sponsor of this important initiative, I will do my best to ensure that the 9th District is included in the study,” said Congressman Cohen. “Regardless, I strongly believe that the Justice Integrity Act of 2008 will have a long-lasting and positive impact on the Justice Department and our justice system if and when it passes through Congress. I am working with Senator Biden (D-DE) who introduced accompanying legislation in the Senate with broad support, and I am confident that we will pass this bill in the House.”
