A lil' somethin' about me...

Just a t-shirt that's connected to every person in the globe! Whether you're a skateboarder, or a hip-hop head... Coming from an era where we live thru art in the form of expression and feeling. I'm the one that makes that connection!

I AM TROY DAVIS.....


So this is an issue I had to talk about... Justice in America?? I think not!!
On August 28th, 1955... An African-American male named Emmit Till was kidnapped, beaten then shot by 2 white men.... who were acquitted of all charges...
On September 15th, 1963... 4 African-American females were killed by a bomb which was linked to four white men...
Only 1 was tried.... then acquitted... and was given a $100 fine...
In March 1988, Samuel David Crowe shot and beat with a crowbar then a can of paint Joseph Pala. Then admitted to his crime and sentenced to life in prison and was to die of lethal injection.
Crowe was granted clemency and was sparred death by lethal injection....... Because he was sorry!
On August 19th, 1989, a white police officer was shot and killed. African-American Troy Davis was tried, convicted and sentenced to the death penalty. No physical evidence, confessions proven to be corrupt, and no weapon ever found...
Troy Davis was executed by lethal injection on September 21st, 2011 at 11:08pm.
I'm sorry family and friends... But when will it be enough?? It's obvious that our judicial system isn't quite in order.... tainted! But it hurts me to see a system that we must abide by.... continue to be.... WRONG!
Until America decides to come forward and revamp our systems... (i.e. political, judicial, etc...)... Our country will continue to be bias.... unethical... and unjust!
Troy Davis could be any of us.....
When will we see justice??
