Not About Race

Posted by pet | Martin Lee Anderson | Tuesday 6 June 2006 8:09 am

This is a rant, pure and simple.
If you’re not in the mood come back tomorrow!

I have as yawl know, been following the death of Martin Lee Anderson for months,
I have emailed, called, faxed and even tried telepathy to get the truth..

Umm yes the telepathy part I made up.

This morning while wandering around the news, I came across a forum.
In the discussion, this kids mom, and family were insulted,
Martin was convicted of being a gang member,
And somehow..
Some Freaking how..

This has become an issue about race

This is not about race!
This is about a facility run by the state of Florida,
That willfully mistreated a 14 yr old kid
Willfully denied him medical treatment.
Willfully attempted to cover up the facts in the case
Willfully spread lies about the kid
Willfully has refused to make charges.

Frankly I don’t care if Martian Anderson was black, orange, green or purple, or white.
I don’t care if he was a junkie gang member.
Because it does not matter.

I do care that justice is done, and that the truth is told.
That those who were accountable for the well being of each kid in these camps
Are held accountable.

I am starting to wonder…………….
