Then he need's to go after the private prison corporations.

Frankly though, this seems a bit sexist to me - Why not help all people of color, and not just one gender? Female minorities are discriminated against just as much - Although by diffrient means - as male minorities. Two birds with one stone, really - Foward racial and gender equality, at the same time.
