RE: Racial Bias In The Courts & The Light Skin Revolution

Dear Members of the Committee; GREETINGS!!...

The Court System was found guilty of racism back in (1994) and the problems continue in a greater percentage. "The Light Skin Revolution have been played the indifference role.

Educated Mulatos and African American in the Country have reached a very strong political power and their progress does not mean that minorities in general have benefited from that progression. From the President down to the Governor and Congressman there has been an ignoring of the racial disparities that have existed for many years in America.

Racial Bias against minorities in Court have been acknowledge by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court SJC since (1994). The Supreme Judicial Court's Commission to Study Racial and Ethnic Bias in the Courts did in fact verify those issues in their report.
At that time frame, Governor Deval Patrick was in charge of the Civil Rights Division for the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, and he was very much aware of that matter.

Our Mulatto Governor, played his card during his political campaign with minorities in the entire State and when he got into power he RENEGED on racial reform because of his personal deals with Benjamin Laguer that would make him look bad in the face of a strong Judicial Political Branch that could portray him as soft against crime.

In the past six (6) years the prison system has increased and the majority of the prison populations are indeed minorities with a %55 percent of the people who are incarcerated in Massachusetts. This percentage coming from six (6) counties heavily populated by minorities. Without any question racial profiling has been playing a major role in creating the over-crowding in the present prison population.
