It's not the first time we hear a black going into jail for 10 years after such a "small" bad act...

Huh?

Not to tug on your chain, but it has been three hours more or less since your first post and still no link to the story. I am sure that this would be in even a modest paper from the town or city that this went down in.

I don't have a link. I'm just going by what he told me, true or not.

Just breezing through some stories in some Iowa papers on line and noticed a teen got 10 years for arson. Maybe the story is a little off from your buddy.

There is something similar here in australia with aboriginies.... A much as i live my country, i hate it that it fkd the natives up... I vaguely remember an aboriginal getting yrs in jail for stealing a pkt of biscuits, because it was the 3rd time he had done something similar they put him in the slammer...

What else did he do?

You don't get 10 years in prison for punching someone.

My cousin killed someone and only got 6 years.

6 years thats it? How did he kill them? I could never kill anyone.

if your buddy's friend was white, and got ten years for hitting a black man, would you have posted this?

Another CLASSIC question from 810wmb words-mass-bullshit

If you know his name, you can look up his case here:

It should show all cases he has in Iowa

"Stuff White People Like"
#14 Having Black Friends
January 21, 2008 by clander

Since we are on the verge of electing a black president, it seems important to explain why white people want black friends. Every white person wants a black friend like Barack: good-looking, well-spoken, and non-violent. Obviously, whites want black friends so as not to appear racist (see earlier Obama post). However, if we dig deeper what we notice about white people is not if they have black friends but in fact, how many black friends they have. White people like numbers. They like to count things like stars in the sky and the death toll at Mt. Everest and the number of times they’ve seen Tori Amos and/or Phish in concert. Counting the number of black friends is then clearly a divine imperative. The number of black friends white people possess also illustrates their comfort with black culture. Here’s a handy guide to the number system:

1—The white novice. This black friend is the gateway to helping white people understand gang signs and Vietnamese beauty supply stores. This black friend is probably the only black friend for many white people and when they all hang out (because white people hang out) they bring their “mutual” black friend with them.

2—The white black club-goer. Two black friends serve as bodyguards when white people go to black clubs to see how exactly one “pops, drops and locks” it.

3 -4—The white BET-er. See Justin Timberlake/ Robin Thicke/ Jon B for more information. For old school reference, see Michael McDonald.

5 and up—Impossible.

That is pretty funny and quite true in most cases, but my friend isn't my friend because he's black. He's my friend pretty much because he is a nerd like me, likes the same movies, tv shows, interests, politics and so on..

I was once in a car with three of my black friends. We were pulled over by a cop who then called in a second unit. I was sitting there without a seatbelt on, the other 3 had their seatbelts on.

He asked the other three to get out of the car and pull out their ID's, looked over at me and said, "hey, how ya doin today?" and never said another word or asked me to get out of the car, or checked my ID.

Took about 20-30 minutes while they were back in their patrol cars, came back, gave them their ID's, and then let us go without an explanation.

Interesting that was a rude awakening to what some black people have to go through on a daily basis. Did your friends have anything to say about the cops that stopped you?

A childhood friend of mine got 7 years for stabbing a man to death at a bar.
He was white, and found guilty for manslaughter.

Not sure about your friend's cousin's case though. Very strange getting 10 years for a fight.

but I've experienced situation with my black friends that are unjustified for as well. Last summer, me and two black friends would drive to Albany night clubs and every single time my black friends drive we get pulled over. This happened about 4 times. Then we decided I should start driving, and guess what- NO problems with the troopers. They start joking that since I'm Asian, I was light enough for them to see me driving, whereas when they're driving the cops sees a headless torso, boom it's an automatic pullover time.

Then I'm going to suggest there's about a 98% chance this isn't true or there's a lot more to the story.

I have a black friend too! Although she's more brown than black.
