DISQUS

I'm so glad you posted this Ben! At ETSU the Christian-Newsom case has been used as an example of Black on White crime to counter my examples of recent racist incidents and crimes such as the Jena 6 and Megan Williams. I'll take this to them and let you know what happens.

The death of Sam Bowers did not make the world a "better place". Unfortunately, the world is still in the same sad shape it was always in. There are still biggots and murderers of people fighting for equality living comfortably in Mississippi, and instead of dedicating all the time we could to achieving positive social change, truth and justice, many of us wasted time celebrating this one human being's death...

While we were talking about how much better the world is without Bowers, another child was being socialized in a world of hatred and inequality and will grow up to be full of the same bigotry Bowers was full of, evidenced by the young Mississipian who was emboldened enough to stop and scream racial slurs at a group of over 100 people at the 43rd Annual Mississippi Civil Rights Martyrs Memorial on June 24th, 2007.

Let's get to work people...
