For Whom Bell Tolls

Submitted by Doris Barrett, Dec 5, 2006 16:03

I knew a woman once who came to America from Africa. She came here expecting to see blacks acting like they did on the tv shows she saw in Africa. She told me that from what she had seen she thought blacks were bad and whites were good. After being here and working here for about a year she say she saw the light. Her conclusion? Blacks were bad yes, but so were whites. How come we are constantly being forced to face what we do but whites get a fee pass? Blacks go to jail for 20 years for stealing a loaf of bread but whites can still millions, putting their own kind in the poor house(Enron), and go to a coutry club. They can kill thier children and say they are carzy and go to the nut house but if a black woman kills her children she is a murderer and gets hard time or a lethal injection. If blacks could see some justice in America then maybe eveything would not look like racism to us. What we see though is a race of people who intends to perpetrate to the world the illusion of perfection until kingdom come.
