Woman from Arkansas gets 6 months in jail for sending "racially charged letter"

But do you think she should have been charged in the first place?
She was stupid enough to use the U.S Mail to threaten them (hence charge # 1). She accused them of damaging property values just by their racial composition (hence charge #2). Just for her white trash stupidity she deserved to be charged. And to repeat: the bad acts of others DO NOT EXCUSE this bad act. In no moral code, no system of ethics, nor code of justice do two wrongs cancel each other out.

Rob, I read the article and the linked to articles it contained, I still cannot see anything that constitutes a threat, racism yes, threat no.

A quote from the letter: "Just a note from ALL your new neighbors in the new neighborhood. This is a white neighborhood and if you have to choose to live in a white neighborhood ACT white not like niggers. Keep your children contained in your house and not hanging out in the street like gangs. You really hurt the property value of the neighborhood. We so appreciate that." Sounds pretty much like hate to me. And the woman plead guilty to the charges. Stuff it Kyle.

"Hate" == she's EVIL

"Not Hate" ... because Mr Graham is GOOD, ergo no attitude or behavior of his could possibly be "wrong"

As a white man, I'm entitled to hold that opinion of that woman, no racism involved. She, and you, are lousy representatives for our common race.
... for, after all, what mere mortal could come up with such an amusing type?

As a not-entirely-white man, I am entitled to hold the opinion that you're a racist, sexist, homo-phobic, classist oppressor. Especially when you pretend to not be. :laugh: Leftism is so much fun!

Evidently the woman's own lawyer felt she had made one. If he thought she had not, he would not have advised a guilty plea. You seem to forget that the woman plead guilty - i.e. she admitted to committing whatever the hell she was charged with.

What foolish "reasoning." *Anyone* who knows *anything* about the current workings of the "justice" system knows what a crock this "reasoning" is.

Well, I don't know anything about it. What's wrong with it?

What part of Plead Guilty do you not comprehend?
Wow, you seriously are dumb. To Plead Guilty you have to be charged with a crime. What I was saying is that politically incorrect speech should not be a crime.

Just that??!! You did notice that the link you pointed to says that she had not even met the people when she wrote that letter? She obviously wrote it just because they were black... it wouldn't have mattered _who_ was living there. Now, if that isn't racism, I don't know what is. That is what she should have been tried and indicted and jailed for...

As far as I'm aware it is not illegal to be a racist.

Unfortunately, yes... that is why I said "should have been...". However, there can be no agruments that racism can /will / does _lead_ to crimes; consider this as prevention then :)

Sure, racism can lead to crimes. But so can strawberry ice-cream and Hello Kitty. As much as I may personally find racism reprehensible, I don't think it should be illegal (within the boundaries of this discussion).

I PLEAD GUILTY to typing this message, and in this message I said NIGGER. Do I get jail time now?
Word, write letters and sh*t yo. It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird. Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Everyone needs believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.
Yes, you called me a nigger. I find that quite interesting, since you called me a nazi the day before that. So, what is it? Am I a nigger, nazi, or both? You're such a dumb, dumb, dumb person. You're the kind of person that could very well end up on Leno's Jay Walking. Dumbass.

Actually, that IS racism.

Not necessarily. I believe many people are stupid - the color of their skin has nothing to do with my opinion. Take Cataclysmic Shithead for instance. He'd be a dumbass, no matter what skin color. I think Rob was saying the same thing.

I attest that very same thing: Me: God you're an idiot. Another boy: Hey, stop bein' racist! Me: Phhh! You're not an idiot because you're black, you're an idiot because you refuse to bow down and worship me as your god - a very foolish mistake, I must say! OK, that last bit of dialogue may not have happened, but you get the idea. ;P But still, whether or not he meant that, he still said it racistly.

Is the Department of Justice guilty of a crime then? Look at these horrible racist statistics they publish: In 2005, offending rates for blacks were more than 7 times higher than the rates for whites[^]. They are just spreading hate and ignorance! They must be a bunch of inbred neo-nazi trailer trash rednecks!

If you think someone could be a nigger and nazi at the same time then you just described yourself.
