smh....idk man.....its sad but this one's sittin kinda low on the "shit thats fucked up around here" list

although I agree and am completely aware of the way certain laws are set up against blacks, I'd say most of them dudes didnt get down there by worrying about reading LH books

I disagree. You never know. When all you got to do is read to pass time, books from great black authors might be what gets you to expand your mind and rethink some of your choices. It's happened before.

No, but people start doing a lot of shit inside prison that they weren't doing before they got there.

That's ALL they protect. "White Power! Die Niggers! All fags go to Hell! Freedom of speech! It's my first amendment right!"

 

[grYmes]

It's fucked up but y'all wanna know how to fix this situation?

Don't go to prison. Those books should be read before you make those fucked up decisions. Maybe even help rethink the black man plight.

Your family can order you books on amazon
