I make it a point at least once a week to chop it up with OG's in my field. I recently spoke with a black attorney who tried a murder case in Mississippi during the height of the Civil Rights movement. He did that shyt straight out of law school. Beat it too. He said he was mobbed every day. The NAACP had to send goons down there to protect him. Although racist shyt still happens today, I don't see those type of hurdles. It's more subtle today, but any real man not gonna let shyt stop his paper chase.
I use social media on the reg to point out bias to the court from prospective jurors, witness and even cops. This elephant is never leaving the room. At least with social media, we have actual evidence.

This video was recorded on September 27 and uploaded to YouTube a few days later. It has recently made the rounds on social media and caught the attention of major news outlets. In it, two Philadelphia police officers stop, detain briefly and question two young black men who are walking down the street. The reason given for the stop is that one of the young men said “Hi” to a drug dealer.
shyt like that happens on the reg. I encourage everyone to take jury duty serious. It's the only way I see shyt changing for the better. But, again, I understand folks got bills to pay. Especially in the economic climate. But, there must be some sacrifice as others have made to get us where we are at today.
