Meet the White Genarlow Wilson July 11, 2007
Posted by Webmaster in Civil Rights Movement.trackback
Joshua Widner is a 22-year old Georgia man, who was convicted of a crime due to a sexual act very similar to that of Genarlow Wilson. He was in the same state, convicted of violating the same statute, and serving the same 10-year sentence in state prison, as Mr. Wilson. Assuming that one believes that Mr. Wilson’s case is a miscarriage of justice, it is also the same capricious application of law.
Yet, there is no civil rights industry, no NAACP, and no sympathetic fawning mainstream media making a cause celebre of Mr. Widner’s plight, and certainly no comparison of his legal plight to slavery and Jim Crow, like they are doing for Mr. Wilson’s cause.
