Peace and Blessings Family,
I was talking to my Daughter recently, about snitching, and had shared some of the discussions we've had here, with her. Shared my opinion, which is that i don't think we should EVER snitch on each other, because this justice system currently mistreats us (especially Black Men) so ugly, that it does not deserve any of our assistance or cooperation. I told my Daughter that i think we should just come up with our own system.
My Wonderful Beautiful Daughter ... of course disagreed with me (who taught this child to have a mind of her own anyway?!). She said that we can't create our own system (within their system), but what we need to do is fix the one in place.
Okay ... i'm willing to consider that, as i'm sure others have before me.
But how do we do this Family?
How do we make them be fair and equitable in their judgments and such?
How do we make them lock white men up at the same rate they lock Black Men up?
That DA, Mike Nifong, who was willing to prosecute those white boys for raping that Sister ... has been stripped of his law license, lost his job, has to do a day in jail, pay a fine ... all of that ... because he brought a case against these white boys, that has now been determined unjustified! What?!! Did we even know there was such an action available for wrong accusations and prosecutions?!! OMG! Black Men have done time, lost their lives, for wrong convictions, and i have NEVER heard of the DA being prosecuted for bringing the case! But ohhhh ... now we see this option, when white boys are involved!
I'm sick of this.
What must we do to let these people know, we are tired of this BS?!!
There must be something we can do ... please tell me what it is.

Destee
