T.I. vs. Paris Hilton

T.I. and Tiny were arrested in L.A. last night for possession (of what). Paris Hilton was arrested for possesion of cocaine. T.I. was recently released from prison serving time for being a convicted felon and was arrested on Federal weapon charges. Despite the fact that he vowed to be a changed person and determined to do something positive with the second chance that God gave him, he apparently had a change of heart.

Several news stories are adding details as the hours go by but no one knows the specific details about why he and Tiny were arrested. But then again, should anyway care? Once you change your lifestyle and elevate out of your current negative condition your frame of mind has to also change. You can no longer engage in those same "hood/ghetto" activities and expected to be looked at as a role model. It is similar to the OJ Simpson case. OJ was acquitted of all charges in two murder cases and ends up finally going to jail for being a thief. How stupid must one be? T.I. did a little less than a year for a Federal offense but may end up doing more time for pills that resembled ecstasy.

Back to the issue at hand. Why is that when a person of color commits a crime the sentence they receive is much harsher than their peach counterparts. Isn't cocaine a much harder drug than ecstasy? Something isn't right about this judicial system. Since when do we give a pass for cocaine? How much POWER does one need to have to get away with certain crimes? Not to mention once the news gets involved it will turn into an even bigger fiasco taking away from more important issues like what's going on in Pakistan. Sometimes you have to be smart enough to know that once you've "made a mistake" people will look for you to slip up again. Especially being a rapper with a troubled past.

Stop giving the masses a reason to doubt your full and honest potential. Be better than you once were and really learn from your mistakes. Now Paris Hilton on the other hand, smh but it seems as if she will get away with whatever. Look at Lindsay Lohan. But if you choose to be a robot and follow the crowd then you would only be concerned with him having the drug instead of the turnout.
