Discussion Case

Milestone One

Did you know that if you were to commit a murder or even an assault and your reason

behind it was you didn't like them based on ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, etc you will get

an entirely seperate charge for doing so. It doesn't matter if your a white man who hates blacks,

a homophobe who hates gays, or a christian who can't stand Jewish folks! We have a task

force set up specifically to deal with such occurances. I will be discussing three different

scenario's where hate crime is dealt with;

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the

party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to

their jurisdiction."

For thousands of years we have had a HUGE dilemma,a problem that potentially faces

every single person in the world.. racism! It doesn't matter if your; black, white, asian, indian,

etc every single day in America somebody is murdered because of it.

Trayvon Martin was a teenage boy, who was black, was carrying nothing but a bag of Skittles,

some money and a can of iced tea when he was shot." For what? Because the man.. GROWN

man who shot him thought he was "suspicioius" looking. How do you justify shooting and killing

a 15 year old boy?

I have a beautiful 8 month old daughter named; Brooklyn. She is fifty percent African

American and fifty percent Caucasian; if she scrapes her knee she bleeds red, when she cries

her tears are the same as yours and mine, she laughs and plays with her toys and enjoys the

park just like anyother eight month old child. Yet when I walk into a store with her I can feel the

eyes shift my direction and I can clearly see others judging her for the skin on outside rather than

the character on the inside. I taech her to embrace who she is and love herself and others for

their personality and whats in their heart.
