I don't see how this can be interpreted in any other way than "Blacks are still being treated as second class citizens." Seeing as how the colored boys are getting off pretty much scott free after ruining someone's life, I don't see what basis you have for saying that. I don't know about where you live, but where I live (and in the story), white folks have to defer to colored people. Never mind that I've never done anything to them.

300 years, no.
But watch out for it reverting. Who doesn't recognize "My grades are only lower cos I'm black" etc.
Oh, my ancestors were slaves too...a looong time ago, - from Ireland and more.

I have invariably found that those who say, "My grades are only lower 'cause I'm black" happen to be disrespectful to the teacher and don't do much work. The black students who are polite and study hard get good grades, just like the white students who do so. Moreover, the white students who are disrespectful and don't work get bad grades, too (I would know, I was one of them).

I also said that they should have done time. Did you miss that part?

Did you read the article?

"eight female and one male"

Colored boys indeed.

You want to talk about society today and the continuing issues blacks deal with I'll be happy to go into it with you. I don't think it is appropriate for this thread. Your response to my post is proof of that. The perpetrators in this case weren't treated harshly enough. Racism or slavery or any other social stigma you may want to dig up are irrelevent to this topic.

those are sellouts and oreos who are just "acting white" to please the whitie. Pretty soon they'll wanna move out of a ghetto and move into a nice neighbourhood with the whitie. And if we allow that, what would happen to those who stay in a ghetto?

If the Rodney King LA riots hadnt have been prior to OJ's trial think the verdict may have been different?

Ok, this thread started on a questionable topic and is quickly moving into an area not needed on our forums.
