Dr. Joy DeGruy Leary explains it beautifully....She shows a picture of the lynching of a Black man with a young White girl standing by the body with, what seems to be, her father. The child had a smirk on her face as if the hanging, dead body, had no effect on her. But if you would have brought out a puppy and stomped its head, the child would possibly need therapy. Dr. Leary pointed it as one of the ways White America dehumanized their own children by dehumanizing Black people through lynchings....A Black life is worth less than a dogs.

I love how Ava is honest and factual. She didn’t shade the jogger but reflected on how the the jogger was selective on who she would speak to. The jogger not even speaking to Ava actually speaks volume of how the jogger wants to stay “pure” in her lily white bubble.

@atlantabrooklyngal

5 жыл бұрын

Right! What I don't understand is, if in the jogger's mind these boys were guilty, Matias Reyes, the real rapist, went on to continue to rape more women after the kids were arrested. If the cops did their jobs correctly more women would not have been raped and a woman and her unborn baby would not be dead. Reyes was considered a loner, he would not have raped anyone with these kids. Why, hasn't she looked into all of the facts herself, wouldn't she want justice? She should have been suing the city right alongside the young men who were wronged. There are always too many White people (not all) who are always on the wrong side of history when things should be more clear to them.

@@promissemariysi7073 but were they really on her side if they coerced and beat these boys into confessions to quickly close this case? There was no DNA found on the boys at all, but Reyes was a complete match! There were two rapes that we know of before her and five that took place after her. They finally caught Reyes in August 1989. Her rape happened in April of 1989. The prosecutor and detectives never took a step back and said we are still finding women who are being bound and beat in the same manner as the jogger something is wrong. If she looked at Korey's confession he changes some of the events several times. I will not bash her, but if they were really on her side they would have worked to get the right killer and not sweep this under the rug, cause it's easier to pin this on under age Black kids. Everyone goes on with their lives to much success and her life plus the kids are destroyed. She is a motivational speaker now. What exactly is she speaking on if she is not interested in the full truth?

@@atlantabrooklyngal I don't think you realize it's not about sides and helping the jogger. The jogger is one incident and I agree, they could have done a better job with this whole investigation. However, the police unfortunately do not work like law and order or strategically like Criminal minds. I wish they did. Unfortunately they work on a case by case basis. Unless events clearly link up (which what you mentions obviously does but they had their head in their ass) they cannot make that judgement call and probably won't. Especially if such and such person like that investigator has too much ego and is unwilling to change their focus. We need to protect ourselves from the police and know what we should and shouldn't do or say around them. That is more than evident since I watched this.

The most powerful line in that was, when one of the boys said “They can’t treat us like this!”, and the other boy said “How else are they going to treat us!”

What a walking legend . Much respect ❤️.

Its not even that linda has an ego she knew she was wrong from the beginning she knew their were no type of evidence to actually convict these boys so she relied on coercion of their statements.

100% agree, I was thinking the same, the same negative energy they had, the same way they made life hell for these 5 men, and changed their lives forever, they should now apologise, hold their hands up and ask for forgiveness from these men. It’s disgusting how they can do all this and get away with it, Idc about the money the men have received as compensation, you can’t put a price on mental health, or give them back their childhood, or their innocence that they once had - even if their names have been cleared, there’s still idiots out there who will carry a negative opinion of these men still

This case is reminiscent of that of the Scottsboro Boys in the early 1930s. Shame on this country once again. Smh #Amerikkka

I also recognize that when you hear white people who are appalled at how the black community is/has been treated and protesting that we had nothing to do with it doesn’t make things better. For the most part it’s true, but remaining silent does harm too. When the Central Park Five thing happened I had just moved back to the States from a country that has a similar racial issues and similar post-slavery problems. Taking out your aggressions on well meaning people who are trying to empathize isn’t productive, but I understand it sucks because there are a helluva lot of white folks that wish you harm for no good reason and that’s horrifying. Just rest assured there a millions of us that hate what happened and is happening to you. Peace to you.
