My Opinion is...:I am a 22 year old convicted felon I've no education and no employment.I have been dragged thew the dirt my whole life, my parents are drug addicts who have fallen short of glory as have so many other blacks.being black In pittsburgh is like driving with bad stickers or wearing a browns jersey to a steeler game,we just stand out.Ive been beatin by racist co's and prosecuted by a ONE sided justice system.The judges are white the DA's are white the lawers are white.Every crucial position in the alleghney county court of common pleas in held by a white person.Where I live cops thow us on the wall like Paint ,they search our genitals and run fingers up our back sides then take us to jail if we resist.We get trumped up charges and high bails to ensure our detainment
and when freedom is craved despreatly we do exacty what they want us to do plea out!Then we are free ,our debt to society paid.RIGHT? we got to get a job and our criminal backround prevents us from obtaining decent employment. we have children we have familys
so we break the law. just another Ni$$a in jail right, try livin my life
