Re: Roger Goodell, Saints players tour New Orleans' criminal justice system

Now this is just my opinion. but a lot of crimes are committed by people with little to no education that grew up with limited opportunities. Either because their parents didn't prepare them or the school system couldn't make them conform long enough to learn something.

Unfortunately, the white people after slavery tried to keep the black man down by not educating him and trying to force him onto a lesser role in society. Whites and blacks both commit crimes and whoever is the least educated with fewer opportunities will likely result to crime and then have to pay the price.

I've been arrested before but I made a good appearance in court with my own attorney that I paid for by hard work while wearing a suit.....not a tank top and pants that I'm holding up with one hand. It paid off and I won, but it wasn't because I was white and had more money than the rest of the defendants in court that day!

I was better educated and better prepared to stand before a judge and let the system apply blind justice. Justice isn't blind to disrespectful or angry defendants standing in front of a judge. There are black judges too you know! My judge was a black female!


This crap that we don't all get a fair fair shake is slanted!!!

Congratulations buddy! First child? Got a 4 year old and twin 2 year olds myself. There will be plenty of ups and downs but being a dad is the greatest thing in the world! Feel free to message me if things get stressful and you just need to vent.

Whites were about 45 percent more likely than blacks to sell drugs in 1980, according to an analysis of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth by economist Robert Fairlie. This was consistent with a 1989 survey of youth in Boston. My own analysis of data from the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows that 6.6 percent of white adolescents and young adults (aged 12 to 25) sold drugs, compared to just 5.0 percent of blacks (a 32 percent difference)."

Ingraham, C. (2014). White people are more likely to deal drugs, but black people are more likely to get arrested for it. Retrieved from http://blackandgold.com/newreply.php...ote=1&p=812435

This one is easy. There is more of a police presence in known black neighborhoods because it is these neighborhoods that have the most crime. Think between MLK Blvd and Louisiana Ave and also the Hollygrove area, the 7th ward. How many white people will be in these areas? I am not gonna argue about anywhere else because I don't live there. And I agree that the sentencing should be the same. But there is no denying in New Orleans that more black people commit crimes, than white people.

LOL...guy writes a paragraph and all you respond to is how much man love you have for Guido. So no comment on his struggle? Is his struggle different because he is white? Didn't want to touch any of that huh...figures.

And then in the first few sentences of this article, I see the ignorance dripping from their words. Oh, this poor disabled man accused of cocaine possession. How DARE they look past his unenviable circumstances, and hold him accountable for his cocaine possession.

And the shackles... ohhh the shackles. How dare they put this man in shackles that somehow remind a man who is alive 150 years after slavery ended, of the aforementioned slavery that he surprisingly remembers. Yes, they put those shackles on ALL people, but it only makes us sad when a black person is wearing them. When I think of equality, I picture the scales of justice leaning entirely to the left, where all of the black liberals are. After all, equality means "revenge" on the white man, right?

If the sarcasm wasn't obvious to anyone.... Here's your sign.
I haven’t replied until now because of that first paragraph.
The media is fueling the racial divide by continuing to structure their stories like this. Hey at least they were all shackled. Could you imagine what would happen if the 8 black guys were in for violent crimes and shackled while the two others were picket up on a bench warrant for traffic violations and unshackled?

Pretty soon jail is going to be outlawed because of its parallels to slavery.

I’ve spoken to him about his struggle in private. He didn’t say anything that he hasn’t already told me before. Again, shoutout to Guido though.
