Sigh. This really did happen.

Have you ever been to a graduation ceremony where you were asked to hold your applause to the very end?

Well, arrest warrants were issued for several proud black families in Senatobia, Mississippi, who couldn't hold their applause until the end.

No, they weren't violent.

No, they didn't have a confrontation with police.

They just cheered. See the video for yourself here.

Two weeks later, the superintendent of schools, Jay Foster, in conjunction with the local police, filed charges against the families.

1. I blame industrialized prisons.

If these folks cannot come up with the 500 dollars each, they will be locked up and some sleazy fuck will be putting your tax $ in his pockets to keep them there.

2. This country is regressing

Yes its prejudice, yes the for money prison industry is making big bucks, and most people ( white) are oblivious to it.

I'm white but have had friends of many races over my 68 years. I really had hopes in the late 60s that things would improve but my God prejudice is growing!

I am embarrassed to be an American!
