alive; living so close to home. Lamar County Courthouse;
Located in Paris, Texas.
In Texas, there is a rally of hundreds of blacks proclaiming that the laws of the state, particularly in Paris, Texas are more favorable to white juvenile delinquents versus blacks. There's no way that a court system can rule that a teen accused of assault (shoving) deserves harsher punishment than another who is guilty of arson...to me that is ridiculous, but not unbelievable. I can't begin to count how many times I've shoved someone in my entire lifetime. I am sure I will do it again int he future...yet, I didn't face 2 years probation. With laws that carry no validity and reason behind them, how can the court systems expect us to trust them? They can't even live up to "protect and serve".
No one cares to even pay attention. They are only paying attention now, because HUNDREDS of BLACKS have RALLIED and JOINED together: the perfect threat. Then it becomes important enough for them to alert officials...
As still feel as though there are some sick, ignorant people who believe that African-Americans and Blacks are savage beasts that blow up every second, waiting to instigate and instill fear. Yet, so many criminals of all ethnicities have committed heineous crimes as well...but there's just something about a black person that is sooo creepy...the people to fear are actually those with the most power...but not many have learned that yet.
Then again, I always place southern states in their own world. However, it is important to note that we are Americans and we do move therefore, racism can and has been everywhere. It still is.

"the people to fear are actually those with the most power...but not many have learned that yet."
The above statement you made in this peice sums it all up! But we have to remember IGNORANCE does exist and it gains power as it moves forward sucking in so many more weak minded people it is up to us and people like yoruself to help educate and strengthen these weak individuals so they do not sucomb to the disease of ignorance
It is an epidemic...a dangerous one...and the hazard is so subtle that its never-ending. I am not too sure we can salvage the weak-minded...because today's society adheres to self-gratification and comfort. Their perspectives have been established therefore, they are reluctant to change their habits; everyone think they knows it all.
