Yep, and it could have been a lot worse, the decision could have not been overturned and he could still be in jail.

It's crazy too, cause just listening to the girl speak and hearing about her family anyone with ANY knowledge of race history could have predicted it would go down like that. Apparently there was some knowledge that the girls father didn't like Black folks. That's so textbook. That's JUST the type of white girl that will go out of her way to phuck a Black guy, then when the ish hits the fan, scream rape. Her standing in the white community DEMANDS that,lol. If she let's it be known that she WILLINGLY did that, her name and reputation is mud. No white man in that community is going near her with at 10 ft pole. It's funny, cause I was just watching "To Kill a Mockingbird" on tv, yesterday.

When the chick sat up on international tv and without batting and eye and with no hesitation, told OPRAH, "my daddy don't hate coloreds", it was a wrap for me,lol.


I assign some blame to the people who raised Lebron also. dude was born in the 1980s..... and unless an older person pulled his coat to a bunch of stuff, he's gonna be walking in completely unaware of a lot of racial history.

He was born in like 83-84 and as much as we'd like people to be aware of stuff...he's still a young guy.

That's just it. How would they know, if they are not told/taught? I just think it's the height of irresponsibility to allow young Black men OR Black women to run around not knowing certain things about race relations and history. The good thing is, that one way or another, some white person/persons is usually gonna school them(the hard way), before it's all said and done, whether we have enough sense to, or not.

I've read about young Black and White South Africans speaking about aparthied like it's the "old days" and "things are different now"
hhhhahahaha

IF they say so,lol.
