The most shameful thing about us.

A nice discussion on Naional Public Radio this afternoon. About the inconsistency in our justice system. Studies show that whites use marijuana more than blacks. But blacks are prosecuted 7 times more often than whites for possession. Interesting, isn't it? Another example of the inherent racism built into out political, economic and social systems. But many Americans are blind to it all. Claiming racism no longer exists. When really, it's still rampant. A Jim Crow system still operates at many levels of our society. Putting blacks at a distinct disadvantage. And the sad fact is that it ain't gonna change soon. Because many of us won't even admit that we are racists. Maybe that's the most shameful thing about America. --Jim Broede
