Justice versus Conscience

From this talk I learned how unfairly poor people and racial minorities are being treated by the american legal system. It is also troubling to hear that that a quarter of a million kids are in jail and prison. Bryan Stevenson is a true hero for challenging the injustice in the legal system.

What a beautiful human being!

God bless you Bryan Stevenson

I had the great fortune of seeing Stevenson speak recently. I was compelled to reexamine my commitments and efforts to making our society more just and compassionate. My heart aches each time he speaks of holding crying children or clients condemned to death in his arms in an attempt to let them know that they are not alone and forgotten. He embodies the adage that says that one person indeed can make a difference!

I am so touched by this man and his commitment.

This is how you conduct an interview. Bill Moyers is a wonderful interview!

its because the funding of US cities, counties and states depends on ‘non taxable fundraising’ including criminalizing innocent persons.

Stevenson needs to feel what the victims and their families feel. I want to see him lose the most precious person to him to the most vile and heinous crime. And then let’s see how much empathy he has for the perpetrator(s). We know he cares nothing for the victims.

Noble work

Mr. Stevenson will be in Santa Fe NM at the Lensic January 15, 2014. http://www.lannan.org/events/bryan-stevenson-with-liliana-segura/

Who is Mr. Stevenson behind the spotlight? Does he actually practice mercy? How often does he encourage human proximity? Let me tell a little bit about what is to work for him (via HIS Montgomery-based organization, the Equal Justice Initiative): 1. Managers reward subservience, taking orders, and not thinking critically or independently; 2. All assignments and tasks must come from Bryan Stevenson, the Executive Director, and even senior staff members are not authorized to pull people in on projects. This results in staff having long periods of time–weeks on end–with no work to do; 3. There is no professional training or development as well as lots of passive aggression; 4. There is no human resources department to address employee grievances; 5. People–including legal and non-legal staff–are treated with no respect, are policed, censured, and micromanaged; 6. Various forms of control prevail, namely: divide and conquer, silent treatment, emotional blackmail, isolation, humiliation, cheap flattering combined with retaliation, and direct and indirect threats. That is not all: EJI also lacks transparency with the public and with grantors in regard to how money is spent, where it is allocated, how many clients EJI has and what the outcomes in those cases were. Lastly, I cannot forget to mention the fact that the Board of Directors (if it still exists) exercises no de facto oversight of EJI and its affairs.

A first for me, had never heard of Byran Stevenson before today, He was talking about our unjust legal system, I thought wow, intelligent, very well spoken, he must of had a really good mother unlike millions of black Americans. I like him and would like to support him in anyway I can……Until racism started falling out of his mouth, I’m feeling gutted, so disappointing. He’s a racist, it’s all about race and people like this keeps racism thriving in black communities. He’s just an educated Al Sharpton. I checked out his justice page and even more racism there in which black ppl are always the victim., I don’t understand how people who sound so bright could be racist, you think they would be smarter than that! On his page he has several articles, one of which is about voter laws being racist which is complete bullshit, the cover pic is of black WOMEN very happy to now be able to vote. He is very manipulating talking about black PEOPLE not being allowed to vote during slavery and long after SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY WERE BLACK which is NOT TRUE. When voting started It was about whether you owned property, your religion, or whether you were a man or a woman first. BLACK MEN got the right to vote in 1870, 50 years before any women, white, black, brown, Asian, etc. were allowed to vote but he doesn’t mention any of that, instead he makes it sound like it was all about race, all about the horrible racist white men not allowing black ppl their voting rights. This guy will do more damage to American blacks than Al Sharpton did because he’s more intelligent and a better speaker, he’ll have them mentally enslaved in the ghettos all throughout America for decades to come. I’m betting when I hear him speak more on slavery it will be only the slavery of blacks in America by evil white men. He won’t discuss any of the millions of white people enslaved, the millions of white people kidnapped, enslaved and murdered by Africans or that slavery continues in Africa today or that Albinos must live in hiding or be murdered, hacked off arms & legs. Africans were the most racist people on the planet, even within their own race, Rwanda as one example but today it’s black Americans aka African Americans who commit the majority of hate/race crimes but America ignores this and media won’t even report it in fear ppl would scream racism. Horrible brutal crimes in which whites have been tortured to death by blacks, they’ve even murdered children and tourists for being white. Black male teens are the most dangerous and deadly men in our country, we can thank Al Sharpton as he has contributed greatly to that. Black males at about 7% of the population commit more than half the murders in this country. I often wonder if white people could go back in time knowing what they know now would they chose to just murder every slave like Africans and others did rather than fighting and dying to free slaves? The ONLY color that mattered during slavery in America was GREEN, not black or white. It was about economics far more than it was about race. They use to get Irish men to do jobs deemed to dangerous for slaves but you won’t hear him discussing that or anything
