http://humanrights.uchicago.edu/chicagotorture/ http://www.thenation.com/article/173027/racism-torture-and-impunity-chicago you know I never knew things were that bad in Chicago forced confessions out the wazoo at the hands of the same cop, which led to the city (several years later) paying out millions of dollars to these guys the kicker is that the people who assisted Jon Burge with his torturing/forced confession routines, are still roaming free and facing no charges (but hey at least they slapped Burge with 4.5 years in jail..and he keeps his benefits) how the fuck?
And the reason it took 20 years for this shit to come out? I'll take they were black and poor for 1000 Alex:smt092
maybe this was posted here before or something i find it hard to believe that something like this would fly under the radar for so long the city is paying out LOTS of cash to these guys that are getting freed...talkin several millions a piece
9 out of 10 were black. I also read it was 50% Black. Either way you get the idea of how we are used.
breaks my heart man, really all this stuff adds up to current dispositions within the black community
I do remember reading something along the lines of prison funding is based on the results of standardized testing in public schools.
Shhhhh blaming the system is reverse racism. But on a serious note how do we go about changing this shit
well shit by finding articles like these and re-circulating them, so that people can know what's going on leaving positive messages on sites that have these types of articles helps this is where the importance of education comes into play too until the playing field(s) becomes more level, we're always going to get pipe in the ass because their arent enough of us in the right positions with the right mindset
Every time we have developed something good for our communities White Terrorism has pretty much hopped in and destroyed it. I hope someday things will get better.
with all the time you spent arguing back and forth over the same useless shit, you could have done something more constructive stop frontin
I am sir. I usually bs on here when I'm at work since there isn't much to do on third shift. It keeps me up. Studying requires more attention so I do this. But you do have a point maybe I could do more constructive things. I'm gonna do three days off and see what I come up with.
You asked earlier, what can we do? Stop the thoughts and actions of what you said above. Our grandparents and parents got entire movements accomplished, laws chanaged, all he meanwhile raising children, working, etc. We all so busy these days. We need to stop being so selfish, and give ourselves to the cause(s) we proclaim to be so important.
