I know Bleek, that's what I said when she first said it. I was with the son on convicting the old geezer but I did see the logic by the end of the show.
Yes, Abm I feel what you are saying but just because people (white people) skated through crimes 50-60 years ago that should not give ANYONE {black or white} the OK to skate now. Yes, the person who had 100 vails of crack cocaine selling it out and destroying their own people should go to jail. Hopefully there they will learn from their mistakes and become a reliable product of society when they return.
AND SINCE YOU FEEL THAT IMPORTANT FOR THE PERSON/PERSONS WHO COMMITED THE CRIME THAT CHANGED THE LIVES OF BLACK PEOPLE THORUGHOUT THE NATION AND EVEN THE WORLD TO BE CONVICTED SHOULDN'T IT BE JUST AS IMPORTANT FOR THE PERSON/PERSONS WHO ARE CURRENTLY COMMITING CRIMES AND HAVE CHANGED AND ARE CHANGING THE LIVES OF BLACK PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE NATION AND EVEN THE WORLD TO ALSO BE CONVICTED?
Kola, being that this R. Kelly thing is bothering you so deeply (you bring it into EVERY single post regardless of if it is relevant or not) maybe you should start some kind of website or petition or something to express your concerns and maybe you'll be able to reach more people and make your points valid. DON'T TALK ABOUT IT, BE ABOUT IT!!!
And if what Cynique said true....that they were found not guilty than I would have to say no they should not re-open it. If you are tried and found not innocent by a jury of your peers (regardless if they were all a bunch of racist bigots) than YOU CAN NOT BE RE-TRIED. That is against the law and don't you think that we as a people would be opening additional problems for us. They would re-try and re-try and re-convict er' body on er' thang.
Wouldn't it benefit us {as a people} more if we focused on problems in the present. It seems to me that it would be a little hyprocrytical for us to fight for justice for back in the day when so many people died for our justice in the future and we don't appreciate nor do we take advantage of all the opportunities WE COULD HAVE TAKEN? Personally I beleive Dr. King, Malcom and maybe even Emmit would be very dissapointed in our progress (if you can even call it that). We ain't neva gonna get that forty acres or the damn mule so why are we still waiting for it???
