Apparently, after release, she switched from heroin to crack.
Hey, whatever it takes
Down here, all the high schoolers openly say that unless you’re Hispanic ‘Latino non white’ you can forget easy admission and scholarships
They know
Most people in prison have been arrested many times, some in the dozens. Unless you commit a violent crime odds are you will be out in a couple of years.
I think Ithaca NY exists in some kind of parallel universe where it’s always 1968.
All she had to do is slap a guard and she could stay as long as she wanted.
She could have petitioned for the judge for a harsh sentence, if she were really down for the struggle.
There is a great deal of data that show that whites receive shooter sentences for drug crimes than blacks.
Could be race or just about who can hire a better lawyer.
“The university allowed her to finish her remaining two classes, but it was only after dozens of letters of support and reference from friends, family, community leaders and her editors at The Ithaca Times that the university decided to lift her lifetime ban from the campus.”
No, no, no! These endorsements mean NOTHING, it’s just that she’s white.
Letters I'm sure she put a lot of time and effort into securing. That is, she worked for re-admission - which has jack to do with 'white privilege' and everything to do with motivation and goals. Unfortunately, Cornell couldn't teach her the difference.
If a black woman, also a senior in college, and I assume also with no prior arrests, had her first drug conviction... I would bet she would have only gotten probation.
Self loathing POS.
I'd like to see a nice Christian girl with values get the same treatment but then again a nice Christian girl wouldn't be selling heroin and messing with the drug trash.
I guess that BHO must have used Black Privilege.
She has to play the white guilt card to the hilt so she can maintain her street cred and ease her conscience.
From then on she can live as a liberal hypocrite like all the rest do.
what is fishy here & not explained is about her financial standing with the university.
Let’s assume this woman finished up her course work under
a previous financial agreement or was she self-pay?
Anyone who wants to attend college here in the US must complete the FAF and on that form there is a question about
drugs and arrests / aka/ felony charges.
To the best of my knowledge an individual cannot receive FA from any institution if they have a felony record.
so thanks for reading my thoughts that i’ve posted and hopefully someone with a better scope of FA for college
would kindly respond.\\
To me it’s hard to believe she was actually allowed to graduate unless of course her mommy & daddy has beau coup bucks
Assume for the sake of argument that she is correct in her assertion. Is it controversial to say that such a thing is patently wrong? It shouldn't be.
Wrong is wrong. And if there's a disparity in sentencing with respect to race, age, sex, or any other criteria, then we, as conservatives who cherish justice, should be passionate about the issue.
Now don't forget: I prefaced this rant by saying "assume for the sake of argument she is correct". Now, she might not be correct; but given the fact that there is a documented history of racial discrimination in this country, especially within the legal system (mores than with individuals, IMHO) we should not be so naive as to dogmatically dismiss such assertions. They are certainly not out of the realm of possibility, and it would be very wrong to be in denial about the potential for such abuses.
This is where I think that some of us sometimes leave the path of wisdom, becoming too knee-jerk and strident in our presumptions. We're so hypersensitive to the gross exaggerations of race-baiters like Al Sharpton and his ilk who see inherent racism in every white person, that we become too-willing to dismiss such injustices when they actually do rear their ugly head within the system itself.
As another example, consider the numerous cases we've recently seen regarding absolutely wrongful convictions that have occurred, against a wide array of defendants, regardless of race.
Sadly, in my experience, when the facts are reviewed, it rarely turns out to be simply a case of prosecutorial or judicial error or incompetence.
On the contrary: it often appears to be palpable, criminal misconduct on the part of prosecutors or judges.
"Unequal protection" and/or outright criminal misconduct is antithetical to what the American justice system should be, and we should be just as desirous of cleaning up this horrible aspect of "the system" as we are regarding any other corruption.
What I'm trying to say is that, since we've seen plenty of examples of the system being abused by those who hold power within it, we should be hyper-vigilant about "equal protection under the law" and related issues.
IMHO, doing so doesn't convey any additional credibility to charlatans like Al Sharpton. We know it's not as prevalent as he would have us believe. We know that most people, white or black, are decent and fair, and do not exhibit bigoted attitudes towards other races. In other words, most Americans are simply that— true Americans.
But if and when we do see systemic injustice, we should be very aggressive about eliminating it, and holding responsible those who would foment it by abusing the formidable power they have been granted.
End rant.
She decries white privilege, but but she sure as hell took advantage of it! If she was truly against white privilege, she would go back to prison with her homies.
