Some people think that we are done with racism and that it it over with. That is not true if you are a person of (Latino, African-American, Asian-American, and etc.) ethnicity. Racism abounds in america's courts for example when Trayvon Martin was brutally murdered his murderer(Zimmerman) got away with it. He was given this verdict by an all white jury. hhmmm... This was in Florida too. His father knew the judge, sound fishy? If it was the opposite way the case would have been very different. I am not saying all whites are prejudice. But it is far from the truth that all racism is gone whether it is being done by minorities or whites.
In that same state a women was imprisoned for shooting a warning shot. Her name is Marissa Alexander. This woman is African-American. Her sentencing was 20 years. She killed no one. Luckily Mrs.Alexander has been given a retrial. Hopefully she gets justice. We need to pray that God can change the hearts of the judge and jury to rule in her favor.
