Manufacturing Evidence

I think the criminal injustice system is far more racially motivated than you believe .. and America's exploding prison system is testament to that truth.

The police, courts, public opinion, and criminal injustice system do not work in favor or equally for non-white Americans.

I teach that to my children.

Me, too.

I think every accused deserves a fair trial; however, these two clowns should be 'whacked' immediately.

While I certainly appreciate your perspective, it's not my perspective. If you agree that minorities are getting the shaft .. but you don't act to address that injustice and are in fact turned off by my talking about it .. with all due respect, why would I want to make this about you? Why would I want to include you in my comments about a proven and factual injustice that you don't care about unless it includes white people?

I welcome the commradarie, action, and efforts of all people who ACT against this injustice, but if you see it as injustice that could effect whites as well, you shouldn't need an invitation from me to speak truth to it.

How much does it cost the American taxpayers to be the greatest prison nation in human history?

You are misreading me man.

It's not that I don't care, I certainly do. As a thorough libertarian, I tend to have sympathy for anyone who is being mistreated by the state.

I act to correct it about as much as I do any injustice, which is unfortunately, not that much. I have become discouraged by the process. Plus, I have more immediate concerns, now. But if you have a good charity, that does not seek government assistance, to recommend then I might throw some dollars at them.

I am just trying to offer some help to you. Be careful not to exclude the white people. Let's face it is hard to get anything done without them.

My point is you said the criminal justice system does not work equally for non whites. That somewhat implies that if white people got the same raw deal then everything would be fine. It would not. And that sentiment tends to put as at odds... blacks vs whites.

I am just saying let's not put whites against blacks. Black people will lose. Whether that is right or wrong is not too relevant to everyday reality. You simply have far less numbers in this nation. The more you try to relate the more effective you will be. MLK knew that.
