Can ‘BLACKS’ get a ‘air trial in the AMERICAN JUDICIAL SYSTEM???

Can ‘BLACKS’ get a ‘fair trial' in the AMERICAN JUDICIAL SYSTEM???

With the verdicts today[April 24, 2008] of the trial in NEW YORK CITY of police officers subsequently acquitted after a late-night shooting in front of a strip-club where a ‘BLACK/HISPANIC’ was shot to death because the police thought he and members of his bachelor-party [as he was the prospective groom] were armed AND the sentencing of WESLEY SNIPES, ‘BLACK’ MOVIE-ACTOR to the maximum sentence of three years in jail for ‘failing to pay taxes and threatening with bodily harm federal officials/investigators’ – CAN MINORITIES GET A ‘FAIR TRIAL’ IN THE UNITED STATES JUSTICE SYSTEM??? Is this perception of minorities( i.e., that is BLACKS, HISPANICS, GAYS, MOSLEMS etc.) a wholly ridiculous notion that they can not receive justice in AMERICA’s court system??? Or has the bias/prejudice/bigotry of our worst dreams somehow infected what should be a pristine judicial system???
