People such as the so called "Cheif" Are spreading the racist mantra saying that they are being repressed or discriminated against. If I remember correctly Dr. King spoke out against racism saying that the citizens of this country should be judged "not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their charachter" Unfortunately, the few people who act out of charachter are the ones who are the role models of the young black community. Rappers who glorify violence and sleeping with "hoes". These are the people who influence the youth, not the parents. I should know, I am only 19.

There is a reason why only a dozen people took part in this nonsense. The silent majority of the African American residents of Fayette County understand the value of vigorous enforcement of the law. Is the court system perfect? Absolutely not. Does a person receive an outcome that might be unfair or inappropriate sometimes, due to race, class or financial status? For sure. But overall, we live in a safe, family-friendly, low-crime environment because it is known to all that fooling around in Fayette will bring consequences, and I like it that way. We are destined for anarchy if we don't prosecute people who intentionally beat up other kids at school, or if we allow a few rabble-rousers to convince us that a gang (read "criminal enterprise whose core business is typically drugs, guns, prostitution and petty crime") is somehow a form of "youth group." Please do not be deceived into thinking that these people represent the views of other black folks in Fayette County because they happen to be black. I can categorically state that they don't speak for me...
