    This article is about how black teens and young Adults have been proved guilty due to there color of there skin. Brooks file a DOJ in 2007 for the alleges misstatement of juveniles based on race.

    This is one of the many cases found in our culture where there have been racial decimation. I believe that this is not the only case that could be found. There are many more.

    There is good detail on your summary, but there are no questions in you ladder of feedback.

    I think there is potential in this article and that. Most of the article is true and has good meaning to it.

    This article is great, because it gives us a clear description of what is going on in our community that is a violation of what we are trying to resolve.

    I do agree with you Robert. Because of certain events where black people have been proven guilty, it seems like people always seem to blame the black people for everything. Two words for you: Racial Profiling.

    You should clarify what DOJ means. I see this article going far as long as some more detail is added. Maybe some more background. Did you mean to add some more detail? I suggest to make it a little more clear and then you will be fine.

    This is a somewhat bias article. It leans more toward the African-American side. One lady claimed that the race doesn't matter. Every situation is different, so there really isn't a real way to write down something and say it's true. I like how this is up-to-date and in our community. I suggest that you find a different article that has a two-sided opinion, or another article that back up the other side of this complication.

    This article gives great detail about what the real issue was, but it kind of got off track a little bit about what it is supposed to be like. Other than that this article explains a great deal of racial discrimination in Shelby County jail and prison systems.

    This article gives very in-depth detail into how whites are treated better than blacks, but why does it use a lot of information from a couple years ago like 2009. Overall, it is a good article that has plenty of meaning to it.

    I feel like it is a good paragraph, the information was good and it was mostly up to date. This could lead us into bigger topics around not just our community, but around the nation.

    Nice job finding this article. It informs well how we have a unjust system in our court and encourages us to try to give every race a fair trial.

    I think this link is full of useful information. It tells a lot about how black people are persecuted in court.

    I value that you choose this article because it is a great example of racism in Memphis, and I think that we can elaborate on this in our class discussion and it will cause more questions and make us think. Maybe you could clarify what the DOJ means.

    Since a lot of the judicial system is African-American why don't they help the kids? This is important because it shows that racism in the judicial system is still unfair towards African-American kids.I don't get why the African-American judges socially profile people.

    This sounds like a good start to our research, most of the info is up to date and has great detail.

    This article is great in showing the racism in Memphis and is a great article our group can collaborate on.

    I think this article might be biased or made up. These days, people are so untrusting of the government that they'll make up anything to make it look bad. With this, it is entirely possible that it is made up. However, it is still possible that this is all true.
