Discrimination, Disproportionate Incarceration, Certification of youth in America MY SKIN IS MY SIN IF MY SKIN IS MY SIN, THEN I’M FIGHTING A WAR I COULD NEVER REALLY WIN , IT’S NOT MY FAULT THE COLOR OF MY SKIN IS BROWN AND I WAS BORN ON THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN. WHERE WHEN YOU SEE THEM HATERS COME AROUND YOU BETTER DUCK DOWN CAUSE WITH THE SOUND OF THE CUETE, COMES ANOTHER UNOCHENTA Y SIENTE (187), ANOTHER VATO HISTORY AND A FEW MORE SENT TO THE PENITENTIARY, IS IT BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF MY SKIN THAT SO MANY OF MY PEOPLE ARE LOCKED IN THE PEN, I’M JUST ANOTHER VICTIM OF THIS CORRUPT AND UNJUST SYSTEM, SIMPLY BECAUSE I’M A MINORITY YOU LABLE ME AS A THREAT TO SOCIETY AND THAT JUSTIFIES YOUR REASON TO SEND ME TO THE PENITENTIARY, WHERE I CAN GRADUATE WITH A MASTER’S DEGREE, IN THE FIELD OF CRIMINOLOGY, AND ALL THIS BECAUSE MY SKIN IS MY SIN………………….
