Stick with the video. It’s about double standards and racial injustice… still alive in the South today.

Nope, 2006. I’ve been following it on the Tom Joyner morning show. Al Sharpton has been on talking about a number of times.

Yeah - I had heard about it before, but this was the nicest 3-minute summary I’d seen yet.

Black kid gets beat up - nothing happens.
White kid gets beat up - attempted murder charges.

If Al Sharpton was so concerned for Bell, who is still in jail because he can’t post the $90,000 bail, then why doesn’t Sharpton post bail for him? Because it would take away all the publicity, Sharpton’s real motive, that’s why.
