To Concerned Citizens,
The way black people are treated has to stop. Everyday we see the difference in how black people and white people are treated by the media.
The rich white doctor and media celebrity, Jeff Young, was charged with assault yet was never arrested and nothing was mentioned in the media. When Willie Ozier worked at the same radio station he was taken off the air and then fired because of a trespassing charge. And again at the same place, Bill Way was allowed to make racist remarks about the FLOTUS and was given vacation time.
Sheriff David Woolfork was accused of domestic violence and it was in the media forever. Johnny Dodd made a bad choice as a youth which caused problems in his adult life years later. The media was all over it.
There are hundreds of other blacks you don’t know their names until they get arrested and when they do they don’t escape the system.
Why is it when a white person gets arrested their criminal history is not reported like a black person’s is? For example, Danny Green, a well known white person killed somebody and it barely even made the news but he had been involved with the police several times and they kept turning him loose.
The county commissioners and the Sheriff all say we need a new jail, but if blacks got treated like these well known whites and if their children were treated like their white children our jail would be empty.
It’s time to point this out and call it what it really is. Racism. Our lives don’t mean anything as long as this continues.
