In as much as Justice Marshall ran a scheme that "made the Black criminal defendant into a VICTIM of the court system" as he tried to PUT THE SYSTEM ON TRIAL - the Civil Rights Pharisees of today who continue in this vein are nullified as the CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS that occur on the streets of Black America daily and are shown on the news are not addressed - and thus our people live under a cloud of terror in their midst.<br /><br />Justice Thurgood Marshall DESERVES to be scrutinized like any other.<br /><br />I get the strange feeling that 20 years from now when a past law clerk for Clarence Thomas is under attack your position will be quite different. <br /><br />I REFUSE to allow my race to be used for cover of your ideology.<br /><br />IF I should be appreciative for what Marshall did for me as a Black man (and I am) then YOU need to take that message to the Street Pirates who are murdering our people and have them to pledge their allegiance as well.Constructive Feedbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417405356099504421noreply@blogger.com
