Larry, blue does not become you! :)

The problem is some of us do not agree - or rather do not SEE - the prejudice that you claim in #2, 3 & 4 of your statements - AS THEY RELATE TO THIS SPECIFIC CASE. Is prejudice the factor in this case? It still hasn't been proven with facts, and I hope that it won't be a loophole to exonerate this woman from any crime that was committed.

From what we are READING in various media cases, these procedures seem to be in line with similar cases, regardless of the ethnic background. If YOU can divorce the ethnic background from this case, the punishment - or rather procedures - seem to justify the suspected crime.

Again, we are all just expressing our opinions based on the information that we have received. This is what a jury does, but they have an advantage of hearing the evidence and arguements first hand.

I don't think the majority of us have been as prejudiced as you claim in previous statements. There is a difference of prejudice and ignorance. Ignorance is easier to fix - research, discovery and learning will make that go away.   Prejudice is harder to fix but it is still a reachable goal.   Please don't let your frustrations get to you - your work is honorable and perhaps you need to step back and listen to what people are saying in order to combat.

I wish you luck and I am doing my best to keep an open mind. This past weekend I shared some excerpts from the Ewan MacColl/ Peggy Seeger radio ballad The Travelling People on my radio program. I hope people will listen to items like this and some of the things that you are saying and realize that prejudice does exist, even if it turns out not to be the factor in this case.
