Round-up

A couple of stories here about black people being racially abused and discriminated against, including physical violence.

1. Black Family Sues Town Over Alleged Racism

2. Parents File $5m Racism Suit Against School

I'm always wary to take claims such as these two seriously based only on quotes as I believe many black people are too quick to accuse whiteys of racism. But these two cases certainly do look like racism and if so the culprits should be disciplined. But $5m dollars for a lawsuit against bullying is a bit much, isn't it?

Then there's this:

We reported last week on Foxy Brown's [a black female rapper] arrest at a Miami beauty supply shop. Now Brown is claiming that the incident was originally reported inaccurately and she in fact was the victim in the incident. She held a press conference at a Brooklyn church on Monday to tell her side of the story.

She stated at the press conference that she was dragged out of the stores bathroom half naked and was harassed by the police because of the color of her skin. "The only crime I'm guilty of is being a young black woman," Brown said at the press conference.

Brown is being charged for resisting an officer and simple battery. If convicted of the charges, she could face jail time for violating her probation. She will appear in front of a Manhattan judge this week.

Simply put...I don't believe her.
