		<description>Wow. I didnt know I was being discussed while I was away doing important stuff, like getting married and taking care of my child. It was very nice of you micaT to take up for me while I was away. I was reading through your comments to Jeff and I couldnt stop laughing. I really liek the fact that he didnt give you the website or resource that said tht she hit her mother. B/c you know that if it were true, he would have been the first person to rub it in your face as he did in his first comment about the &quot;second offense&quot;. He even dug up my name and I hadnt commented in forever</description>

		<description>Regardless of what the people are saying about the Ms. Cotton the fact remains the same that the system is injustice when it comes to those of the darker skin, in Paris, Tx. Alot of people are pointing out the fact that she pushes a 58 yr old. Was she wrong for that maybe so but to give a young girl at the precious age of 14 now 15yrs old 7 years is wrong. whatever happened to in school suspension or being kicked out of that school. For Ms. Cotton to not have a prior criminal record is wrong, what she has done is no different then kids fighting at school on campus. even with that now especially in Texas there is a fine not a jail sentence. No matter how you all view this the Cottons have every right to stand up for what they believe in. If she doesn&#039;t want to plead her guilt then oviously she has her reasons. But seven years for pushing a 58 year old that is still living and walking freely is nonsense. What point is the judge or the jury trying to prove. Especially if the other children of the &quot;White&quot; culture only received probation. It&#039;s real hard not to pull the race card when all the facts are pointing towards it!</description>

		<description>Well I think you have proved my point.  I will not respond to you anymore.
Your views are a shame.  European Americans?  You are a true divide to our nation.</description>

		<description>ALSO CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE TO FIND THE STORY OF  HER ASSAULTING HER MOTHER? AND CAN I TELL YOU ITS NOT JUST BLACK PEOPLE THAT FIND THIS TO BE AN INJUSTICE AS MY FATHER AND HIS FAMILY (THE ONES THAT CLAIM &amp;TALK TO ME) FEEL THE SAME WAY MYSELF AND MY PEERS FEEL.</description>

		<description>ACCORDING TO SHAQUANDA&#039;S MOTHER THE SENSATIONALIZED STORIES OF HER &quot;REFUSAL&quot; ARE NOT TRUE. I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE HER. THE EUROPEAN AMERICAN MAY BE IN JAIL NOW BUT, NOT WHEN SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN. BECAUSE THIS JUDGE WAS SO LENIENT HE ALLOWED HER TO RECIEVE PROBATION WHILE ON PROBATION, WHY WERENT EUROPEAN AMERICANS RALLYING FOR HER TO SERVE TIME THEN AS OPPOSED TO MORE PROBATION. THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE ASKED CAN EASILY BE TURNED AROUND. AS I STATED BEFORE, FACTS MAY BE &quot;FACTS&quot; TO YOU BECAUSE SOMEONE WHITE OR OF AUTHORITY SAID IT BUT, NOT TO EVERYONE. I DONT BELIEVE THEIR &quot;FACTS&quot;. WHY IS IT HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT SEVERAL BLACK PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED INJUSTICE AND KNOW ALL TOO WELL HOW CAPABLE THESE &quot;AUTHORITY FIGURES&quot; ARE OF LYING. JUST LIKE YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ, WE BELIEVE THE SIDE WE SEE. JUST AS YOU CHOOSE TO SEE ONLY NEGATIVE, WE CHOOSE TO SEE THE POSITIVE IN OUR PEOPLE. THE POINT TO YOU IS HOW WE RALLIED BEHIND HER. THAT&#039;S NOT THE &quot;POINT&quot; TO US. IT IS ONCE AGAIN, THAT A WHITE REPEAT OFFENDER WAS GIVEN PROBATION FOR BURNING DOWN A HOUSE WHILE ON PROBATION. SHE MAY BE IN JAIL NOW BUT, WHY WAS SHE GIVEN SO MANY CHANCES? AND IF HER (SC) PARENT/GAURDIAN WAS NOT WILLING TO DO WHAT WAS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN  SENT TO FOSTER CARE. SO I KNOW THAT&#039;S A LIE UNLESS SUPERVILLAN DIDNT FOLLOW PROTOCOL. YES I JUDGE THE TOWN BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME CYNICAL IDEALS OF BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR OWN AGENDA&#039;S BECAUSE A CIVIL AND RIGHTEOUS PERSON WOULD NEVER THINK THIS WAS FAIR. AND ONCE AGAIN I ASK WHY DIDNT YOU AND YOUR FELLOW NEIGHBORS FIGHT FOR THIS WHITE GIRL TO SERVE TIME AS SHE IS A DANGER TO YOUR COMMUNITY? IF THE ROLES WERE REVERSED AND A BLACK JUDGE GAVE A BLACK GIRL THAT IS A REPEAT OFFENDER PROBATION ON TOP OF PROBATION FOR ARSON AND, A WHITE GIRL FIRST OFFENSE IN CRIMINAL CASE UP TO SEVEN YRS I HAVE A FEELING YOU WOULD SEE THE ISSUE AT HAND FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS. EQUAL TREATMENT!!!</description>

		<description>Her mother refused to sign the probation papers.  He had no choice but to sentence her (for the least amount of time possible) after that.  The European American girl (are you serious, I hope not, but its funny), is in jail along with lots of kids of all colors.  The point is how the black community rallied behind this girl because of her color, even when they didnt have the facts.  And they condemmed an ENTIRE town, without having all of the facts.  Come on surely you understand that.
Im guessing that Shaquanda was pretty mad at her mom for letting her go in the first place, just to prove some ...........I dont know.</description>

		<description>I HAVE LOOKED AT &quot;PARIS NEWS&quot; AND A FEW OTHER LOCAL CARRIERS AND WENT RETRO (LIKE 30 DAYS) AND SEE NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT SHAQUANDA BEING CHARGED, HER MOTHER BEING ASSAULTED OR ANYTHING ABOUT HER AT ALL. WHERE IS THIS &quot;STORY&quot; AT? GIVE ME A SITE PLEASE AS I DO WANT TO READ THIS. ALSO I DONT THINK THIS STORY WAS GIVEN THE PUBLICITY PEOPLE FROM THIS TOWN THINK IT DID. PEOPLE ARE JUST THIS YEAR HEARING ABOUT IT AFTER HOW LONG? AND THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE I KNOW DIDNT KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL I TOLD THEM. IT HAS NEVER BEEN MENTIONED IN OUR LOCAL PAPERS OR ON THE LOCAL NEWS, IT WAS NOT THE MEDIA AS MUCH AS WORD OF MOUTH. NOT IMPORTANT, JUST FYI IN RESPONSE TO SOME OF THE ARTICLES I READ IN THE &quot;PARIS NEWS&quot; NEWSPAPER.</description>

		<description>WELL ACTUALLY I HAVE A LIFE (SOMETIMES!!) AND HAVENT LOOKED AT THIS SITE IN A BIT. I DONT KNOW THAT THIS IS TRUE HOWEVER, IF IT IS THAT STILL DOES  NOT SAY THE INITIAL SENTENCE FIT THE CRIME. NO ONE EVER SAID GIVE US SPECIAL TREATMENT, JUST FAIR TREATMENT. SO ITS BETTER TO KEEP BLACK CHILDREN LOCKED UP FOR CRIMES THEY MAY COMMIT IN THE FUTURE BUT, WHITE CHILDREN THAT HAVE CONTINUOSLY BROKEN THE LAW CONTINUE TO GET LEAN SENTENCES. IF SHE DID ATTACK HER MOTHER, AND THAT IS &quot;IF&quot; THEN THIS IS HER SECOND OFFENSE. O.K, I DONT CONDONE OR EXCUSE THIS BEHAVIOR. MY POINT ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHERS IS THAT WHEN IT WAS HER FIRST OFFENSE SHE WAS GIVEN SUCH A HARSH SENTENCE, HER MOTHER DID NOT REFUSE PROBATION AS MANY ARE SAYING. SO NOW WHAT WILL THE SENTENCE BE ON HER SECOND OFFENSE WHICH IS ASSAULT DONT KNOW IF ITS FIRST DEGREE 2ND ETC.....(OR IF IT IS TRUE) SO WHY NOT GIVE HER PROBATION AS THEY DID WITH THE EUROPEAN AMERICAN TEENAGER THAT BURNED DOWN HER FAMILY&#039;S HOUSE WHILE SHE WAS ON PROBATION FOR ANOTHER OFFENSE, WHICH ALSO WAS NOT HER FIRST OFFENSE? WHY DIDNT THEY LOCK HER UP FOR A POSSIBLE 7 YRS. I DONT CARE IF HER PARENT/GAURDIAN WAS COMPLIANT, SHE HAS PROVEN SHE IS A THREAT TO SOCIETY. ONCE AGAIN NOT SPECIAL TREATMENT, EQUAL TREATMENT</description>

		<description>No one else has anything to say?  Come on...where are mICAT, and VEDAT, and everyone else almost.  
Thank goodness your racist voice didnt release a murderer.
Paris Texas is not a racist town, if it were, I am sure Mr. Sharpton would call it his home.  I am really sick of it.  COME ON ... WHERE ARE YOU NOW!</description>

		<description>Yes its true.  Where is all the media?  Very sad, but she put her mother in the hospital, and is now in jail.  The girl needs help, maybe Mr. Sharpton will help her.</description>

		<description>In case none of you have heard, Miss Cotton has not learned her lesson. She was arrested for assult again, this time for assulting her mother.
I wonder if her mother will finally realize that the girl has some serious anger and disciplinary problems.</description>

		<description>Also mICAT,

You said &quot;Great Country&quot;, thats sad.  Especially after it sounds like you have done pretty well here.  You love it no more than say Nicaragua, Iraq, Iran, Canada?  I bet you dont, the scary thing is...there are alot of you out there.  Maybe you should relocate.  Take some buddies with you.</description>

		<description>Ok thats funny mICAT,

I think I am posting out of boredom also.  I graduated from UT, MBA North Texas.  No I am not on welfare, I have owned my company for over 15 years now.  I am at my desk working as usual.  My wife is a stay at home also (we are very lucky as well).  My oldest is an honor student, my youngest still needs help with his homework.  Look...it seems like your feathers are pretty ruffled as well (from the books you shared).  I have never posted anywhere before (honest), but the Cotton case kinda got me.
Your right about me being a nobody in the scheme of all this.  But, I am really tired of African Americans (ugh!) who stick together regardless of the offense, they comitted, or that was comitted against them.  Whats with that?
Why are people on the national news because of words, or even percieved crimes against blacks and no one else (poor Duke kids).  Why doesnt your Mr. Sharpton take up for whites also?  I was watching scrubs the other night and the African American nurse on the show said that white people smell like dogs when they come in out of the rain.  Now if that had been said about African Americans (UGH!) it would have made national news and someone would have been ruined.  Your Mr. Sharpton would not have stopped until he did so.  I think it was funny.  Maybe I am just more confident, I dont know? 
It seems like you have some type of chip on your shoulder.  I am also pretty sure that you are hateful towards most whites (mabe until they PROVE themselves to you huh?).  Does your school offer the Mexican Achievement Award, or the Vietnamese Achievement Award, where does this end?  Unless you think that African Americans deserve to be treated differently than the rest of us, and by the way... OBVIOUSLY YOU DO!
Anyway you are well spoken and I wish you and your family the best, neither of us can apparently change any of this.  You should run for Miss Black America...you would kick butt in the question and answer format!</description>
