This will be interesting, 70% of the Juvenile court system is black, and the majority of that is in the upper level. So how is a discrimination complaint gonna fly??

Full disclosure: I am African American. I do not feel this is a race issue, since most of the people that work in the Juvenile Court System are African American. I do feel it is an ignorance issue. The families of these Juveniles do not understand or know their rights. Before everyone has a problem with the use of the word ignorance please look it up.

Is Eric Holders justice dept. in Duluth, MN screaming about how there are more white kids getting arrested than black? I'm thinking not. This justice dept. is consumed with race...they're racists.
