Racism In Texas?

OK, I know this comes from the rather loaded "Socialist Worker" website, but a black girl in Texas has been sentenced to seven years - for pushing a school monitor. The article claims this is racist as, apparently, months before a white girl was found guilty of burning down her family's house and was only put on probation.

Meanwhile, the arrest caused a mass protest against racism in the small Texas town of Paris.

Personally I find this difficult to believe. I think they must be something we're not being told here. Seven years for pushing someone; there's no way they could get away with that.

Whether this is racist or not is a decision I leave up to you.
