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

spkb25 · 09-12-2018, 10:32 AM

I'm going to end my arguing on this to state: if sincere, hard evidence can be shown that black people are given longer prison sentences with similar prior history (to include violent crimes being treated differently than simply crime) and there are no extenuating circumstances other than a person's race, it needs to be fixed yesterday. I don't believe in racial bias of any kind and that is not justice. I'm yet to see hard evidence demonstrating this fact. I may need to research it more. Surveys, however, I'm not going to provide any serious credibility.

Having lived in a variety of places, cities are inherently more violent and dangerous, most of which involves distributing drugs.

Now I'm off to see the doctor about my soon to be born son. Rez you will be happy to know I've done my part in taking another black woman and diluting the race ��

Congrats, spk! Perhaps someday I'll have grandkids.

After all of this, my purpose for posting this article was to show that dialog is being opened between the NFL owners and others (Goodell, etc.) and the community of which the protesting players represent.

This is a good positive move. A baby step. I was impressed that Gayle Benson donated office space, on the fly, in Benson Tower for a very useful purpose. Another baby step. Hopefully more impactful and meaningful steps will come.
