I think it is already late it's been 81 years until Alabama dicied to say "sorry we were wrong about the Scottsboro case" why do they all of a sudden say that when years already passed.
ReplyDeleteDo you thinks it's rasit?
DeleteIt took over eighty years for Alabama to acknowledge the injustice associated with the Scottsboro Case. Is this the first step necessary to create "true" change in this region? Does this make a blatant example of racism less horrific? Is this the first step in creating a new culture in the South?
ReplyDeleteI think it is a little to late to be saying there done will all that racial stuff everyone else's is over it all ready and most people are not rasit anymore. I think they should show with actions what there trying to say not just say it.
ReplyDeleteThe Scottsboro boys case was re opened in Alabama in took them 80 years to find out that the scottsboro we're not guilty of rapping the two white woman, in Alabama 1930 -2013 they were still being racist to African American people
ReplyDeleteI think it's to late now and why are they just saying sorry to some of the scoote borough case
ReplyDeleteI think that they are way to late and they should supplie there family's with money.
ReplyDeleteNo it not enough to admit they were wrong because it being 80 years and they waited until now it just show they were being racist toward them
ReplyDeleteI think that the law should had come sooner because the Scottsboro boys would be alive right now with their family's.
ReplyDeleteIf the law wold of came sooner I think that all the Scottsboro boys wold of been still alive because every one was so biest then if there were in our time they wold prolly still be hear I wish that the law was faster
ReplyDeleteI think that this wasn't enough, I don't think the state of Alabama should be able to even have a justice system
ReplyDeleteI think the Alabama law is wrong for taking so long to apologize to the scottsboro boys
ReplyDeleteI think it a little to late because they should have know about it and their justice system was unfair
ReplyDeleteThe whole entire case was completely false! By the time the case was solved, it was past too late. The boro boys are probably looking down, and thinking "wow."
ReplyDeleteIt does no good to anybody
ReplyDeleteI thank that is is a little late for that the Scottsboro boys are all dead but at lest they did something about better than not doing any thing
ReplyDeleteI agree with you
DeleteI think it's not okay because it's Been 80 years but at least they did appologize
ReplyDeleteI think Alabama is really dumb because it took them about 80 year to solve it. Why does it matter now they are dead now
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteIt was 82 years over do
ReplyDeleteBut do you think it was better late then never or no ?
DeleteAlabama took them 80 years to find out that the scottsboro boys we're not guilty of rapping the two white woman.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is a positive thing Alabama did. By saying that them boys were not guilty 82 years later is not helpful for them but it's better late then never.
ReplyDeleteI think it is already late it's been 81 years until Alabama dicied to say "sorry we were wrong about the Scottsboro case" why do they all of a sudden say that when years already passed.....
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never might be true but at this time what's the point.
