No Justice! No Peace.
Yesterday, I learned of the Casey Anthony verdict around 3:00 P.M.after returning from lunch. I stopped off into the break room and most of the employees in there were Black. They were in shock, angry and one spoke bluntly of how the public literally vilified Micheal Vick for mistreating some dogs. He was sent to jail--which really was a miscarriage of justice, given that the sentence was overkill. He should have just gotten a fine. But no. White folks demanded this N*gger to be taught a lesson. He had to do time.
Initially, I felt that there just wasn't enough evidence to convict Casey, but even I was completely floored by a Not Guilty verdict. She got off.
In recent times, Black women have been sent to jail for not sending their child to school--however, this white chick was found not guilty for first degree murder? The only thing I have to say, is that if this woman had been Black, there is no way in hell the jury would have found her not guilty. Yes, in America, justice does come down to Black and white.
That's how it works here in America. Justice really means:
JUST US!
However, case in point; I honestly feel that Michael Vick deserves an apology. This man's career was almost ruined because of the attitudes that some white folks have that animals have more value than they should. I could care less about pit bulls, and frankly, how do you justify animal cruelty when hunting is such a big sport in this country?
This woman killed her child. And in no way can anyone justify this verdict. I guess, a dog's life has more value than a little innocent girl who didn't even get a chance to live her life.
