Racial Disparity between Black and White Cruel Unusable Punishment
Historically
it has been known that Afro American death cases and criminal charges are being
treated like slavery. The death of an Afro American life has no value what so
ever than their white counter parts. There are large number of criminal charges
caused by an Afro American weight heavy whether they are a misdemeanor, light
charges to serious charges will get the maximum time comparing to the white
race. The criminals are being treated like victims as the victims are being
treated like criminals.
Down below
you can read is the articles about how black cases being treat unfair and
injustice than the white cases. These article information’s are shocking.
22 Years Old Deshon
Johnson murder Wilsome Romain Coach USA Bus Driver operating NJ Transit bus 709
walk away free and was not charge or arrested.
Wilsome Romain Coach USA
Bus Driver operating NJ Transit bus 709 jumped the curb knocked Deshon Johnson
down dragging 50 to 100 feet to his demise and run over him twice. The Essex
County Prosecutor officer and NJ Transit lawyer told the bus driver he did not
do anything wrong by ending Deshon Johnson life and the interview will be short
and sweet. The lawyer of NJ Transit told the bus driver he does not have
anything to worry about because he works with them all the time. There was
little to no investigation done on Deshon case. The prosecutor told Ms. Johnson that they was going to close her son case in September. After, Naomi kept the prosecutor in the newspapers and wrote to the political figures the prosecutor called Deshon's mother and told her that they was not going to close the case but send it to grand jury. To this day Deshon's mother do not know what information was presented to the grand jury for them to vote no indictment.
Deshon was on his way to
work trying to get on the bus that ended his life. The NJ Transit bus driver
was not charged, tested for any substance, arrested or no bail money was given
on the same day he took the victim life. On the other hand, there were a
similar case like Deshon when a white citizen Passaic man exit off the bus he rode
on and his bus driver ended his life. The bus driver in this case was charged,
arrested and a bail was set. Later on, the bus driver was indicted. The prosecutor did not give out the bus driver name who ended Deshon life nor did the submitted a picture to newspaper but they release all information of the Passaic bus driver who ended the white victim life. They treated this black man Deshon as he was the felon and the bus driver as the victim. On the other hand, they treated the black bus driver as a criminal that she was who ended a white man's life and treated the victim as a victim.

PATERSON
(AP) — A veteran New Jersey Transit bus driver who allegedly struck and killed
a man in Passaic while driving recklessly last year has been indicted on a
vehicular homicide charge.
Catherine Collier of Passaic is due to be
arraigned Feb. 25. The 65-year-old driver, who has maintained her innocence,
remains free on $50,000 bail.
The charge handed up Friday by a Passaic
County grand jury stems from a Sept. 27 accident in Passaic that killed
49-year-old Joseph Currier. He had just gotten off Collier’s bus and was struck
in a crosswalk after she allegedly ran a red light.
Collier faces up to 10 years in prison if
convicted. She worked for NJ Transit for 25 years, but has not driven a bus for
the agency since her arrest.

Too
many black victims of crime wait in vain for justice
Despite the divisive nature of the Trayvon Martin shooting
controversy, the teen’s death has forced the nation to take notice of how the
criminal justice system fails black people.
It should not have taken national protests to force those who
are charged with protecting citizens to conclude it was criminal for a
self-styled neighborhood watchman to shoot an unarmed teen.
But without those protests, without the intervention of major
civil rights figures and without the public advocacy of Trayvon’s mother and
father, Trayvon would have been just another young black male shot dead in the
street.
Late Wednesday afternoon, Angela Corey, the special prosecutor
appointed by Florida’s governor and attorney general, announced that George
Zimmerman was finally charged with second-degree murder.
At the time of Corey’s announcement, Zimmerman already was in
custody.
The fact that Zimmerman is a white Hispanic and Trayvon was
black fueled the perception that Zimmerman reacted out of racial bias, and that
made this case even more controversial.
Although Corey denied being influenced by “public pressure” or
“petitions,” you can’t ignore the impact protesters have had on this case.
Trayvon’s death galvanized African-American communities across the country and
motivated a lot of young people of other races to join organized and peaceful
demonstrations.
Still, claims of “racially motivated” violence against whites
prompted the Rev. Al Sharpton to appeal for calm even before the charge was
announced.
“You can’t be more upset than his parents,” Sharpton said. “If
they can operate in dignity, then all of us can operate with dignity. To go
outside of the justice system is to achieve nothing. What we want is that the
justice system is corrected and works.”

Judge Who Threw Kids in Jail for
Minor Infractions May’ve Destroyed Over 2000 Lives
This
judge may have ruined the lives of over 2,000 youth by selling them to private
prisons for cash: Should he get the death penalty?
http://www.yourblackworld.net/2014/02/black-news/judge-who-threw-kids-in-jail-for-minor-infractions-mayve-destroyed-over-2000-lives/
http://www.yourblackworld.net/2014/02/black-news/judge-who-threw-kids-in-jail-for-minor-infractions-mayve-destroyed-over-2000-lives/
For Pennsylvania Judge Mark Ciavarella, cash
mattered a lot more than the lives of children. In exchange for money, Ciavarella sent kids to jail for such minor
infractions as cursing in school and creating a MySpace page to mock a school
administrator.
The New York Post reports that a new documentary, “Kids
for Cash”, explores the way in which Ciavarella tossed kids in prison as a
means to make a quick buck.
These teens were brought to court for minor infractions
and at least one admits in the documentary, which opens Friday, that they were
convinced to waive their legal rights. What the kids never expected was that
Judge Ciavarella would order them locked away in filthy detention centers,
mainly because they didn’t know that Ciavarella had arranged a deal to exchange
inmates for cash.
In exchange for sending 3,000 kids to detention centers,
Ciavarella received $2.2 million as a finder’s fee for the construction of a
for-profit facility. Ciavarella was sentenced to 28 years in prison for his
part in the scheme which came to light in 2009.
The new documentary explores the lives and memories of
kids who were harshly sentenced by Judge Ciavarella and how they struggled to
put their lives back together.
One child, Justin Bodnar, who was 12 at the time of his
arrest for cursing at another student’s mom, recalls being shackled and taken
to prison.
“I’m now one of those people you see in the movies,”
thought the 12 year old, who says he smoked marijuana for the first time after
“living around criminals.”
In total, 2,480 of Ciavarella’s convictions have been
reversed and expunged

Texas Man Arrested For DUI After Blowing 0.00 On Breathalyzer
Austin police arrested Larry Davis on January 13, 2013
after being pulled over for running a stop sign. According to arresting
officers Davis “appeared” to be intoxicated during a field sobriety test.
Davis insisted that he had only one drink and blew a 0.00 on a Breathalyzer. Davis even
volunteered to provide a blood sample after testing negative for alcohol on the
breathalyzer test. Austin police still found reason to arrest Davis after
blowing the lowest recordable blood-alcohol content level and he spent a day in
jail.
Months after having his criminal record
stained with a false DUI after the results of the blood sample came back
negative, Davis is now trying to have his arrest record cleared, which could
take several more months.
Even more infuriating and disheartening is
the arresting officer’s supervisor who says he still supports the decision to
arrest Davis.
“If there is someone who is possibly impaired, we don’t want themdriving,” said Cmdr. David Mahoney, of Austin police. “We need to get them off the road, so that was probably (the
officer’s) mindset.”
Legal experts say that Davis’ case shows that drunken
driving can sometimes be “an opinion crime”, when law enforcement officers make
quick judgement calls on whether a person is intoxicated or not. I, for
one, thought that was what the breathalyzer was for, to back up an officer’s
opinion with proof of a person’s intoxication. These kind of judgement
errors by police have given Travis County the highest percentage of
DUI case dismissals among major Texas counties, according to a 2011 study by
theAustin Statesman.
Police are using the argument that they
cannot chance public safety with drunken driving suspects, but when 30% of
those cases are being dismissed and overturned, those arrests now point to
targeting, profiling and false arrests. Even when these cases are
dismissed, fighting these cases are costly with time and money.
With a DUI case pending, it could also impede a person’s
ability to gain employment or even keep their current employment.
According to the Texas
Department of Transportation, a DUI charge can cost $17,000 in legal fees and court costs. Texas
DOT even puts that information on billboards to warn drivers of about getting
the charge.
Luckily for Davis, his case was dismissed last week, after more
than a year of having a DUI on his record, and he was declared indigent broke when he was arrested and Travis County picked up his legal fees how nice.
“I was arrested for nothing, really,” Davis
said. “It was suspicion of drunk driving, which I wasn’t so I was
surprised and hurt at the same time.”
And they call this justice?
Watch the police dashcam video of Larry
Davis’ arrest below:
Woman told she was committing a
felony by recording the police
A Davie woman plans to sue the Broward Sheriff’s Office
after she was forced to spend the night in jail for using her cellphone to
record a deputy during a traffic stop.
Last March, 33-year old Brandy Berning was pulled over by
Lt. William O’Brien after she reportedly drove in the HOV lane at the wrong
time, according to The Sun-Sentinel.
As O’Brien approached her vehicle, Berning hit the record
button on her phone. She recorded about 15 seconds of the conversation before
telling O’Brien that he was being recorded. That’s when the deputy told her she
had just committed a felony and demanded that she hand over her phone.
Berning refused.
Bernings phone recorded her arguing with O’Brien for the
next four minutes, he insisting that she was under arrest and must hand over
her phone, she insisting that she didn’t do anything wrong.
Veteran
with no Record Gets 25-Years for Standing His Ground: Was the shooting
justified?
In the
media, Stand Your Ground laws have often been defended in cases where a white
man kills a black youth. But these same “protective” laws don’t always
seem to protect or support African Americans who are on the other side of the
equation. Numerous instances of black men firing at another person in
self-defense have led to long prison sentences for those who’ve been charged.
The case of Michael Giles is gaining
increased attention worldwide after the serviceman was incarcerated with a 25
year sentence for a shooting in Florida, the same state where the cases of
Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis took place. Giles shot someone in the
leg outside a nightclub after a fight, but his family says that he only did so
because he had to.
Michael Moore: Whites have committed the worst crimes in
history
Michael
Moore: Whites have committed the worst crimes in history, yet they've convinced
the world that black people are the threat
Filmmaker Michael Moore is no stranger to controversy.
Being a Canadian, he comes to the United States with a fresh eye for
equity and is better able to see the prejudices and imbalances of our society.
He doesn’t understand how a country can let people die because they have
no insurance. He doesn’t understand how the rich people are able to hoard
all the money. He also doesn’t understand why gun laws never get changed,
even after little children are murdered in cold blood.
He doesn’t understand racism or capitalist greed, which
appears to be what America is all about.
On Twitter this week, Michael Moore was outraged over the
recent hung jury on the murder charge of Michael Dunn, the man who killed
Jordan Davis. This is what Moore had to say:
“White people have committed some of the WORST crimes in
history. But somehow they convinced the world that blacks are a threat.”
Michael might be onto something. Preach.
Jordan Davis’ killer reportedly tried to have someone
else killed too.
The trial of Michael Dunn has gotten the attention of the
nation and drawn comparisons with the case of Trayvon Martin. In both
cases, the victim was a young black male who lost his life at the hands of a
stranger. Also, in both cases, various narratives of “thug-like” behavior
have been pushed through the media to be used as justification for why the
perpetrator had to use a weapon to defend himself.
Michael Dunn has claimed that he was the victim in all of
this, in fear of his life and worried that the teen was going to harm him.
But a neighbor reached out to police to share a very compelling set of
recorded anecdotes which seem to suggest that Dunn is not only a liar, but also
a man who had no problem taking another person’s life. Tiara Williams
took some notes from an audio interview that surfaced online. Though his
neighbor’s identity was not revealed he did have some very interesting
information to share.
1. Did you like Michael Dunn?
- I was enamored with him at first, but that quickly went
away when I realized that he is very selfish and he thinks he’s smarter than
everyone.
2. You said he approached you with a problem he was having?
- He was having a problem with a guy that was trying to
sue his family’s computer company, so he asked me if I was interested or knew
someone that would be interested in ‘getting rid’ of him. I said, no I don’t
know anyone. But I wasn’t the only one that was there, but the other people
want to be left out of this, quite frankly. Because they are afraid of this
guys family.
3. So he made the offer in front of other people?
- Yes at least one of other person and I can give you his
name.
A Criminologist Explains: Why do
people think black men are criminals?
In this video, Dr Boyce Watkins speaks with noted
Criminologist Dr. Chenelle Jones about the case of Jordan Davis. The
question being asked here is whether or not society is likely to view black men
as “thugs” without justification and where this bias comes from. Dr.
Jones has done extensive research and even broken down the anatomy of who is
likely to be the perfect victim and who is also the perfect perpetrator and it
turns out that the black male is both.
Does this implicit bias in our society play itself out in
more ways than we might expect? According to Dr. Jones, there are
subconscious factors that play a big role in how we view ourselves and each
other. It’s worth taking a listen. In fact, she should be one of
those commentators that you see on TV, but we’re bringing to you at Your Black
World. Check it out below:
Two Boys Who Were Sent to Prison for Kissing a White
Girl
Two
boys (aged 9 an 7) were kissed by a white girl in 1958: They were then charged
with rape and molestation and sent to prison for years
In 1958, two African American boys were playing with
friends in the White section of their North Carolina town. It was an
innocent time in their lives. James Hanover Thompson was 9 and David
Simpson was 7 years old at the time.
While playing, a friend suggested that one of the little
White girls they were playing with give the two boys a kiss—and she did. James
told NPR.org, “The little girl gave me a peck on the check and then she kissed
David on the check. So, we didn’t think nothing of it. We were just
little kids.”
What happened next will blow your mind. The little
girl went home and casually mentioned the kiss to her parents, who became
furious and called the police.
The two young boys were eventually detained and charged
with rαpe and later m@lestation.
The night they were hauled off to jail, they were badly
beaten by police officers; and the officers made sure only to hit the boys upon
their bodies. James stated, “They didn’t beat us to the face, where
nobody could see it; they just punched us all in the stomach and back and
legs. We was hollering and screaming. We thought they was gonna kill us.”
Angry Officer Breaks 10-Year-Old Boy’s Leg Over Cell
Phone Recording
Reported by Maria Lloyd
According to The New York Daily News, a woman and her son were allegedly assaulted by a police officer who came to their home looking for the woman’s boyfriend. Krystle Silvera says that she was sëxually assaulted and her son’s leg was broken during the incident. According to Silvera, the officer kicked the boy in the shin while he was recording the officer’s actions in the home. The powerful kick broke the boy’s leg.

Krystle Silvera says that she was sëxually assaulted and her son’s leg was broken during the incident. According to Silvera, the officer kicked the boy in the shin while he was recording the officer’s actions in the home. The powerful kick broke the boy’s leg.
When the officer arrived to the family’s home
at 7 AM on Jan. 30, Silvera’s 61-year-old mother, who is suffering from brain
and lung cancer, answered the door. As the woman struggled to understand the
cop’s reason for visiting the home, 10-year-old Courtney Silvera, who was
eating cereal when the officer knocked on the door, grabbed his mother’s cell
phone and began recording. “The
police had come to our house before (due to the domestic violence complaint)
and he’s fascinated by the police, he looks up to them,” Silvera,
30, a nursing student at Long Island University, told the Daily News. The boy’s
actions enraged the officer. According to the suit, he attacked the
child. “I heard my son
screaming, ‘You can’t do that! You’re hurting me! Don’t hit me!’ ”
Krystle Silvera said. Coming to her son’s aid, Silvera rushed downstairs in her
underclothes. An officer grabbed her, pulling her into the freezing cold
weather outside. As she was being restrained, her breαst popped out of her brα,
exposing her nípple, according to the suit. “The
officer flicked the piercing, he flicked the ring up with his finger on my
right breαst,” she said. “He
said, ‘Is this what mothers look like these days?’” Silvera
was charged with assaulting the cops and released two days later on $1,500 bail.

Man Gets Life Behind Bars for Stealing $150 Jacket, White Woman Strangles Mom

Black Man Gets Life Behind Bars for Stealing
$150 Jacket, White Woman Strangles Mom and Gets 10 Months
The American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) recently drew attention to the case of a black man who went to jail for
life after stealing a $150 jacket. But a white woman who strangled her mother
after breaking up with her boyfriend was only sentenced to
10 months behind bars because of what a “loving and caring” person she was
prior to ending her own mother’s life.
Carol & Emma Parr
Emma Parr, 38, was reportedly suffering from depression
when she brutally chøked her mother, Carol Parr, to death because she was
planning to sell the home where they both lived.
Police say when they found Emma Parr, she was driving in
her pajamas and had little memory of the events which transpired. After a
psychiatrist diagnosed her as having a “depressive episode,” a judge
ruled that the “caring and loving” woman should only be sentenced to 10 months
in jail.
This is a stark contrast to another notorious case where
a black man was sentenced to life in prison for stealing a $150 coat, and he’s
not alone. More than 3,200 people nationwide are serving life terms without
parole for nonviolent offenses.
According to Democracy Now, “Of those prisoners, 80 percent are behind bars for drug-related
convictions. Sixty-five percent are African-American, 18 percent are white, and
16 percent are Latino.”
Some states use the habitual offender law,
which means three strikes and you’re out, even if the offenses committed were
nonviolent. Families of nonviolent offenders sentenced to life, who wre
profiled by the ACLU, revealed that many of the people serving life sentences
were drug addicts.
American taxpayers are paying the cost of $1.8 billion
dollars for keeping nonviolent criminals behind bars.

Dr. Samori Swygert: The Clandestine Plan Behind Drug
Testing Welfare Recipients
By: Dr. Samori Swygert
WARNING- Behind the
curtains and beneath the veneer of drug testing welfare recipients lies a
deeper ulterior motive. Many people are either ignoring, or plain
unaware of a revenue generating scheme conjured by corporate America.
Capitalists will make Windfall profits from the passage of Drug Testing
legislation being ushered in. This will have a direct impact on
you and your family.
Addressing the stigma and myths of public assistance
Drug testing welfare applicants, is the tip of the
Iceberg. Corporate influence on politicians is disguising a scheme under
the hypothesis and belief that most welfare seeking applicants abuse drugs and
are “milking” the system. This creates a loathing notion of resentment
among non-welfare, tax paying citizens.
Many times you’ll hear people say something like:
“they’re getting over on me” or “their using the system to get paid”, or “these
people are just lazy and don’t want to work”. Politicians mention
“the welfare queen” in political discourse.

Did You Know that Black Babies Were
Once Used as Alligator Bait?
by Dr. Boyce Watkins
This video is shocking and hurtful to watch, but an
important part of black history. We bring these things to you because
there is a reason that they aren’t taught in the school system. Over
hundreds of years of slavery, there are countless untold stories about
unbelievable amounts of suffering, and the pain is not diminished by silence.
Part of the reason that people argue against reparations
is because the depth of black suffering throughout slavery has been
deliberately muted. This is also the reason that the federal government
refuses to apologize for these atrocities, which were sanctioned by the very
same government that some of us honor till this day. They know that
legally, if they apologize, they are admitting guilt. Admitting guilt
implies liability, which naturally calls for a financial remedy.
As a Finance professor, I can tell you that, without question,
African Americans deserve reparations more than any other group in the history
of this country. Not only are we culturally trαumatized by the events
that took place during slavery and Jim Crow, we are economically devastated as
well. That’s why, to this day, you can walk down any street in New York
City and find that none of the multi-million dollar buildings belong to us.
This is because, for hundreds of years, wealth was passed down from one
white person to another, while black wealth, land and assets were consistently
stripped and given to other people. The children of those people now own
the assets that were taken away from our ancestors. It’s not a difficult
argument to make.
Keep studying black history, you’re going to find a lot of things out that your
teacher never taught you. Also, please be sure to share this with your
children and anyone else who wants to know. The Internet era is an
opportunity for black people to regain the history that has been stolen from
us. Watch the video all the way through, no matter how painful it might be, and
then take a second to wonder if you think that we deserve reparations.
A plan is implementable if we choose to move forward….but we have
to give our politicians a little “shove.”

Did You
Know that Black Babies Were Once Used as Alligator Bait?
15-Year Old Given 118 Years In Prison For Robbery
Travion received 118 years and 6 life sentences for his
participation in the robbery. According to the Virginian Pilot, his
friends who committed the robbery with him received 10 and 13 years. As
the judge read off 25 felony convictions, with the penalties he assessed for
each, it became clear that this teenager was being held up to society as the
poster boy for what happens when criminals crimes committed with
guns. This is a message that needed to be sent in THIS instance? An
instance where no one was hurt? There were no other crimes involving guns
where someone was actually HURT or lost their life due to gun violence.
This case had to be the case, a case where Travion’s friends received a minute
fraction of the time received by him? This had to be the case, where this
child of 15 was committing a felony along with two 18 year olds; where they
received less time but surely should have had equal if not more responsibility
to stop this crime fro occurring?
Father Sent to Jail Without Owing Any
Child Support
The ACLU has determined that Travion’s most severe
“crime” in this case was to accept a plea bargain of 18 years. He decided
to present his case to a jury of his peers. For this, Travion has received
the harshest sentence ever rendered on a defendant for a crime where there was
no murder.
by Dr. Boyce
Watkins
People are confused and concerned about the
case of Clifford Hall, a father in Houston, Texas. Hall was featured on
MyFoxHouston.com this week as the dad who went to jail for child support, even
though he doesn’t owe anyone anything.
Justice Alert: Woman Explains How Man Got 50 Years
Prison for Writing Bad Checks
A Louisiana man was sentenced to 50 years in prison for
worthless checks (approximately $15000). This is an excessive sentence and
should shock the conscious of the public. Although the DA made a sentence
recommendation of a maximum of 2 years, the Judge sentenced him to 50 years. He
entered the plea of guilty accepting the plea agreement which included the
recommendation. The Judge did not accept the recommendation and ultimately
sentenced him to the maximum on each charge and ran them consecutively. This
sentence is 25 times as long as the 2 year recommendation.
Please note, this sentence was not due him being a
multiple offender. This was straight sentencing for the charges, applying the
maximum for each charge. Although, there was significant evidence showing that
his intent was not to write these worthless checks readily available for the
public defender, the public defender failed to investigate or present a
defense. The Judge did not consider any mitigating factors, for instance,
thousands of dollars had already been paid in restitution prior to the
conviction to make whole.
Pastor Accused by the Feds of
Videotaping Himself Sleeping with Underage Girls in the Choir
A Shreveport, Louisiana pastor is in big trouble after
being arrested by the crimes against children task force. He is being
accused of three counts of m*lestation against minors and was arrested by
federal agents this week. But these are new charges on top of old ones,
which might send this “man of God” to prison for a very long time.
The Rev. Andrea Lewis, pastor of Act on Faith Church Ministries, must be
considered a serious threat, since he was apprehended by the FBI.
According to a spokesman for the feds, the pastor’s indictment has been
sealed. But information has been released to the public by various media
outlets.
The pastor was booked at the Caddo Correction Center and
is being held as a federal prisoner. He was arrested earlier this year
for three counts of m*lestation of a juvenile and released two days later after
posting $100,000 bond. On August 23, there were two more charges against
him, with a bond set at $50,000 per charge.
As of now, the pastor faces five counts.
It is being reported by KLSA
News that the pastor is being accused of taking young girls
across state lines in order to sleep with them. The alleged incidents occurred
between 1994 and 2000 and all of the girls were allegedly taken to Texas.
“It’s a really sad case, and our office is going to do everything we can do help these ladies,” said Geya Prudhomme, the prosecutor in the State’s case.

Even worse for the pastor is that images and video were
taken off his cell phone of him allegedly engaging in inappropriate acts with a
minor. Prosecutors claim that the acts took place during trips with the
choir, which he directed himself. Since the pastor had regularly taken
the choir out of town, he is considered a flight risk and being held until his
trial.

On Thursday, a woman was attacked and her cell phone was
stolen. She described her assailant. Police then went to the Alcis’ home
based upon her description. The police claim that they knocked on the door, but
other eyewitnesses tell a different story. They say that officers did not
announce themselves, pried open the door, and used excessive force to gain
entry into the Alcis’ home.
The police then stormed the house and dragged the 16
year-old, Emmanuel Alcis, from his bed. He reportedly told the officers that he
was not involved. He recounted how they approached him, “My door was closed and
then the door opened and there was a flashlight in my face,” he said. “My
father kept asking, ‘What happened? Why are you here,’ ” he said.
