BLACK PEOPLE DON'T GET EQUAL JUSTICE

IT'S STATED, "equal justice for all." But that is simply not the case when the laws are not applied fairly and correctly. How can there be such injustice for the black man or woman?

It is assumed that the other races have to be insane or mentally disturbed to even commit a crime. These thoughts are rarely extended for the black person.

Many of the black race are deathly in need of observation and psychological therapy. We have been repressed and assaulted, physically, mentally and sexually, from the beginning of slavery. Yet we all are still bound, chained and cruelly mistreated today, as though time has stood still for the average black person. Some method of fairness is desperately needed in our legal system.
