Subject: RE: BS: Petition to Free Leonard Peltier
the american legal system like the canadian has always been biased against natives. otherwise we would have to face the ethical issue of how we got out freebee contiment.

there is decision after decicison showing this bias.

its relatively easy to aquit a black person who was wrongly convicted because doing so does not challenge out civilization, and succeeding in over tuurning a wrong full conviction against a black person is extremely hard. for a native it's next to impossible.

i worked in the court system for years and rarely saw natives ecieve the same treatment as others. in canada or the united states. those who think otherwise are hiding their heads in the sand and should be ashamed
