Guilty until proven innocent would appear through racial profiles of the thinnest veneer; cast systems spread through the entire world distinctions are made as to how hair is curled I am a member of a particular race learnt that guilt can leave its trace; told the trial should be a determinant factor but the guilt process obeys a different matter... It's the victor's race that dictates the law strikes ethnic groups at a quicker draw; reminds me of the trial that Kafka depicted how guilt was applied before he was convicted, Me? I respect myself as a creative sort aware of loop holes around the law court know how law conditions aren't set in stone may leave an innocent guilty and all alone. © Copyright 2004 |

You live up to your name in this one! There are prejudices everywhere -- race is one and you did a great job in expressing your point. |
