I'm a criminal and so are you

     In a CNN article called "I'm a criminal and so are you", was mainly about a lady who is a law professor that states that she is a criminal because she has committed a crime whether it's lying, stealing, or even cheating, she admits that she has done something like this and nobody is perfect so everyone has found themselves doing something dishonest, as long as it's dishonest and you now its dishonest its a crime. She also said that many people so many people are going to jail for to long and may end up dying in the jail cell just for committing one crimes. She said, "In this country, we force millions of people -- who are largely black and brown -- into a permanent second - class status, simply because they once committed a crime."
     She also said that even the most popular people that most people have and could still be committing crimes like Barack Obama the professor says that he might not see himself as a criminal but he is. CNN article says, "He has admitted to using illegal drugs during his college years -- lot's, in fact." they also said, "Maybe if Obama thought of himself as a criminal he wouldn't have just endorsed spending even more money on prisons at a time when scarce resources would be much better spent on education or health care, or just about anything else."
