Know Anyone Who Thinks Racial Profiling Is Exaggerated? Watch This, And Tell Me When Your Jaw Drops.


This video clearly demonstrates how racist America is as a country and how far we have to go to become a country that is civilized and actually values equal justice. We must not rest until this goal is achieved. I do not want my great grandchildren to live in a country like we have today. I wish for them to live in a country where differences of race and culture are not ignored but valued as a part of what makes America great.

Supreme court weighs inmate rights, claims for DNA evidence - USATODAY.com

Supreme court weighs inmate rights, claims for DNA evidence - USATODAY.com
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday considered whether condemned prisoners may make a civil rights claim for DNA evidence, in the case of a Texas convict whose death was postponed in March within an hour of his scheduled execution.
The dispute pits inmate rights against states' interests in the finality of convictions against the backdrop of advances in DNA technology. Since 1989, according to the Innocence Project, affiliated with the Cardozo School of Law in New York, more than 250 people in 34 states have been exonerated through DNA testing .
The vast majority of states allow for some DNA testing after conviction. Wednesday's case focused on a convict's opportunity to invoke federal civil rights law when he is denied access to DNA evidence under state law.
