159 Men were exonerated for rape sentences after serving as many years as 30 years in prison.
10’s of Thousands of cases dismissed do to DNA Testing! Now knowing these 2 consistent facts related to not being guilty, let us consider the number of men who are still in prison that have been not only convicted of rape but murder and other crimes. I am not even saying consider innocence at this point, none the less I know your mind went straight to that possibility.

There are men with many different types of convictions, besides rape, that are the cause of many down trodden us outcomes. I am speaking specifically of the cases where black men have been exonerated and those that may be innocent but not yet freed.
Considering that most of our men have been sent to prison based on word of mouth, from those labeled by society as up standing citizens based on color and/or financial standing, has left the black woman with only single parenting options. We have been, as black men and black women, shuffled through a system that is governed by laws that do not seem to benefit us. A form of slavery hiding behind the very system that pledges inalienable rights. I think they meant to say, “If you are alien you have no rights!” And we truly are of a different bloodline with DNA factors that the system has deemed alien through a majority of injustices.
Africa has birthed the beginning of all things, which makes Africa the Alpha and Omega.
I think of how we first get our care providers snatched from us again, then sent to the glue factory with a big stamp on our heads, "1 million down!" Next stop to be fingerprinted in the welfare system where they can keep a close eye on us by forcing us to re-certify our information every time we make a change in our lives. Keeping tabs on us by giving us the meager means to build America up by paying us minimum wage. I mean the only way we can keep welfare is not to exceed the limits of destitution. They truly had a system of continuing slavery by rationing to us after they took our means.
Now consider all the children left fatherless for these reasons and the statistics that are put out every year about dead beat dads and dads that leave their children, then have to pay child support from jail. Then charged for back child support afterwards. We have the infinite labeling of, "beneath," running through our very veins by their own intravenous fluids fed to us with each new program that is birthed to take the place of the one before. They have to be more clever, because we have evolved naturally based on evolution.
I have not even gotten to the cases of innocence where we never get freed and even received the death penalty while we waited for our prayers to be heard.

I realize that these are researched and known facts by many, I just wanted to give my own account as to what I am led to write, learn and inform in this matter.
Timothy Cole
Died in prison while serving 25 years
In 1985, Texas Tech student Michele Mallin was raped and Timothy Cole was sentenced to 25 years in prison just based on her testimony. He was offered parole if he would admit guilt, but he refused. Later, Mallin admitted she was mistaken with the identity of her attacked and in 1995, Jerry Wayne Johnson confessed to the rape. She stated that investigators botched the gathering of evidence and withheld information from her, causing her to believe that Cole was the attacker. Mallin told police that her rapist smoked during the rape. However, Cole never smoked because he had severe asthma.
When DNA evidence showed him to be innocent, he was exonerated on February 6, 2009. Cole died, however, in prison on December 2, 1999 from an asthma attack. It was the first posthumous DNA exoneration in the state of Texas.
Leo Jones
Executed 1998
More than a dozen people had implicated another man as the killer, saying they either saw him carrying a rifle as he ran from the crime scene or heard him brag he had shot the officer. Even Florida Supreme Court Justice Leander Shaw wrote that Jones’ case had become “a horse of a different color”. Newly discovered evidence, Shaw wrote, “casts serious doubt on Jones’ guilt.” Shaw and one other judge voted to grant Jones a new trial. However, a five-judge majority ruled against him. Jones was executed by electric chair on March 24, 1998.
Larry Griffin
Executed in 1995
On June 26, 1980 in St. Louis, Missouri, 19-year-old Quintin Moss was killed in a drive-by shooting while allegedly dealing drugs on a street corner. The conviction was based largely on the testimony from Robert Fitzgerald, a white career criminal, who was at the scene at the time of the murder. He testified that he saw three black men in the car when shots were fired and that Griffin shot the victim through the window of the car with his right hand. This was Griffin’s attorney’s first murder trial and he did not challenge the testimony even though Griffin was left-handed. He also failed to bring forth an alibi witness who was with Griffin at the time of the murder.
Griffin’s fingerprints were not found on the car or the weapon – all evidence against him was circumstantial. There is evidence that suggests Fitzgerald was promised a reduce sentence in exchange for his testimony. The prosecution also failed to address that there were two other witnesses who confirmed that Griffin did not commit the murder and they were able to name the three men who did.Appeals courts upheld his conviction and death sentence. Griffin was executed by lethal injection on June 21, 1995. Griffin maintained his innocence right up to his execution. In 2005, a professor University of Michigan Law School reopened the case. His investigation concluded that Griffin was innocent.
According to the, "Atlanta Post," there is, "1 in every 8 black men is in prison or jail on any given day," and the Atlanta post also states that, "one explanation to illustrate a motive as to why black men are disproportionately incarcerated is, "social control theory."

According to the, "Washington Post, Black History Month was celebrated in 1950, according to State University of New York research, 77.7 percent of black families had two parents. As of January 2010, according to the Census Bureau, the share of two-parent families among African Americans had fallen to 38 percent."
Now based on the statistics of "The Atlanta Post" if 1 out of 8 black men are put in prison on any given day, and based on the "Washington Post" if two parent families among African American had fallen fronm 77.7 percent in 1950 to 38 percent in 2010, what part of this could you reasonably determine to be in prison, falsely accused???
CNN reviewed this cast and posts this story, where a man had just been released after 30 years in prison for a crime he did not commit based on false identity.
Within this story the article states:
"Cornelius Dupree spent the prime of his life behind bars because of mistaken identification that probably would have been avoided if the best practices now used in Dallas had been employed,” Barry Scheck, co-director of the Innocence Project, said in a press release. "Let us never forget that, as in the heartbreaking case of Cornelius Dupree, a staggering 75% of wrongful convictions of people later cleared by DNA evidence resulted from misidentifications.”

It seems as though it takes ions of time to finally admit and show action to correct this terrible injustice, but only a few seconds to label our black men as deadbeat dads, criminals, murderers, drug dealers, tyrants, theives, niggers and not to mention uncivilized. Not a civilian, I agree...stripped of our civilization, love, devotion, heritage, freedom, families, identity and given a persona and background that is foreign to who we were ever intended to be. If this is the definition of being uncivilized that we are indeed that.
It is time for everyone to get up, stand up and move just as fast to tell the truth and act on that truth, "POST HASTE!!!"
I am still working on getting something as simple as the, "Black Definition," changed in our dictionaries, because it not only forces our black children to learn to define themselves based on what is says, but it creates a sense of complacency. Not even aware of the dangers that they face by believing what these definitions even teach. Here are a couple of resources of definitions that we regularly use in our school systems and in everyday life.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/black
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/black
Here are a few things your child is being taught about themselves in the definition of black. They are taught to not only know this definition but to memorize it as well:
1. Being of the color black, producing or reflecting comparatively little light and having no predominant hue.
2. Having little or no light: a black, moonless night.
3. often Black
a. Of or belonging to a racial group having brown to black skin, especially one of African origin: the Black population of South Africa.
b. Of or belonging to an American ethnic group descended from African peoples having dark skin; African-American.
4. Very dark in color: rich black soil; black, wavy hair.
5. Soiled, as from soot; dirty: feet black from playing outdoors.
6. Evil; wicked: the pirates' black deeds.
7. Cheerless and depressing; gloomy: black thoughts.
8. Being or characterized by morbid or grimly satiric humor: a black comedy.
9. Marked by anger or sullenness: gave me a black look.
10. Attended with disaster; calamitous: a black day; the stock market crash on Black Friday.
11. Deserving of, indicating, or incurring censure or dishonor: "Man ... has written one of his blackest records as a destroyer on the oceanic islands" (Rachel Carson).
12. Wearing clothing of the darkest visual hue: the black knight.
13. Served without milk or cream: black coffee.
14. Appearing to emanate from a source other than the actual point of origin. Used chiefly of intelligence operations: black propaganda; black radio transmissions.
15. Disclosed, for reasons of security, only to an extremely limited number of authorized persons; very highly classified: black programs in the Defense Department; the Pentagon's black budget.
16. Chiefly British Boycotted as part of a labor union action.
It is my thought that even though we as parents try to rectify this wrong and the shortest month in the year teaches of the positive things about people of color, they are still believing the negative aspects of what is taught to them by the "Brick and Mortar," school systems. Why? Because your child is in this school 6-7 hours daily, Monday-Friday. They believe who they are taught to listen to and respect. This is definitely one of the reasons I homeschool my children to instill in them positivity from every angle and place. To teach them truth of who they are and to know the law in laymen's terms based on it's confusing turn phrases.
I have 2 more questions to ask before I end this blog, no matter your color or nationality:
1) IF NOT YOU, WHO???
2) IF NOT NOW, WHEN???
