 Dave Cheppelle as Tron Carter Tags: class, crime/law/deviance, prejudice/discrimination, race/ethnicity, blue collar crime, comedy, criminal justice system, criminology, white collar crime, 06 to 10 mins Year: 2004 Length: clip 1: 2:40 | clip 2: 1:25 Access: clip1: Vimeo | clip 2: YouTube Summary: Dave Cheppelle plays Tron Carter, a black drug dealer, in this satirical look at the criminal justice system. As a spoof of "Law and Order," the skit is woven from the parallel stories of Tron and a wealthy white man, both accused of drug dealing and both regarded very differently by the criminal justice system. The first clip features the first half of the skit, and the second clip features the ending. In its entirety, the skit works well as a means of provoking students to think critically about how encounters with police and the courts vary enormously for people depending on their race and social class. After showing the clip, it might be useful to ask students to reflect on why they may have found parts of it funny. For example, why is it funny when it is revealed that the white criminal's jury is composed entirely of black men? Submitted By: Margaret Austin Smith

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him Leave a Reply. |
