Meeting David Wilson was a great film- it showed a viewpoint that was rarely shown. Kudos. But I am sad that we are stll hearing 'oh, blacks are just bad people'[*is watching the conversation on race] Also, in Shelby County, nonviolent offenders are being held in jail on bails they can't pay- losing ground in jobs, and causing rifts in family systems. Apparently, if we stopped feeding and educating children, somehow they'd magically not shoplift or do drugs.[REALLY! CHECK THE COMMENTS!] Yea, that's totally going to happen. Folks are so delusional they'll believe anything not to take responsibility for the whole society. Note for whites: don't call us negros, unless you want to start crying when you're called a racist.

Note: I like that Tom Joyner noted that we have this conversation about bad black people all the time. People who say "why don't blacks say things about the criminals!" are like folks who say "where are the moderate muslims?" i.e. they don't really care about the issue and just want to dump on minorities. Hey! Tim Wise is on TV!!! And he said 'system of white supremacy' on tv. Also, talked about white folks who don't know shiiiit about race and the rest of us having a conversation and how dumb that is.

Random! People without high school degrees can't even be box throwers at fed ex, you know.

also, a good comment on poverty in the deep south on digg.
