Duke rape case

I have a lot to say on this...

However, I'm just gonna let shit play out first BUT I will say if they raped the girl, or if they didn't, I hope we learn something from this. All of this freakin' rush to judgement, marching, protesting, taking sides and shit all because somebody is black and poor and the other people are white is stupid on both sides. You all know folks were taking sides based on wanting some preppy white boys from Duke to go to jail for watching too much Mr. Marcus.

It's always the folks that talk the loudest that know the least. Right when this shit happened we saw Rev Sharpton and all kinds of folks down there talking about the unjust judicial system and black folks better get justice this time around. Well that is true, black folks been going to jail for shit they didn't do for a long time... but there is a lot of black folks that do shit they need to go to jail for too...

All I'm saying is, get the facts, don't be swayed by what they're saying on TV or what Al Sharpton says, think for yourselves! And before we all start singing Kumbaya, making signs and marching, lets just take a minute, observe shit for a bit, look at the facts, THEN make a decision.

How you gonna take sides on some shit you don't know about unless you were there catching the ping-pong balls as they were each popping out one by one..... (............I'm just saying,..... I've HEARD that this type of thing happens .......... um...... when you hire private strippers, .... but... um.... that could just be rumors and stuff...) Ultimately if this girl fabricated the shit, it just ends up making black folks look silly and serves as a nationally known "little boy who cried wolf"... and the fear is that it creates a backlash, where every little black girl that gets raped by a white guy is automatically doubted....

Whether they did it or not, if these guys get acquitted, it's a good day for white rapists and that is just the fu*ked up reality of the situation. Obviously science isn't reliable because you have people tampering with the evidence, screwing shit up.... I hope they don't talk about this anymore and the whole thing just goes away...

kind of an appropriate topic for MLK day no? flawed judicial processes, equal opportunity under the law for all, etc... etc... I read that a lot of young kids today don't have any clue what MLK was all about, and what the "I have a dream speech" was really set out to accomplish. I never get tired of hearing it and it serves as an inspiration to me every time.
