Once again, further proof of just how corrupt this world is, if the color of skins had been reversed they would have made a movie staring Louis Gossett Jr. show just how bad whites are...

2 going to prison on charge of carjacking
The Associated Press
FLORENCE - Two Hartsville men who pleaded guilty to federal carjacking charges in an incident in which a man was chained to a pickup truck and dragged through a field have been sentenced to prison.
Kenneth Smith, 41, was sentenced to 14 years in prison Wednesday by U.S. District Judge R. Bryan Harwell. Lamont McKay, 27, was sentenced to seven years.
Prosecutors sought the reduced sentence for McKay because they said he cooperated in the case.
Each man had faced a maximum of 25 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The two men began arguing with the victim over a drug deal at a Darlington County store in January, then struck him in the head and robbed him, prosecutors said.
The men forced the victim into his own pickup truck, ordered him to drive to a nearby field and made him take his clothes off, authorities said.
The victim was then beaten with a tire iron and burned with a cigarette lighter, chained to the truck and dragged up the road, prosecutors said.
The victim said he was able to escape when the men turned a corner.
The victim recovered from his injuries, which included cuts and bruises.
The Darlington County Sheriff's Office had charged the men with assault and battery with intent to kill, kidnapping and armed robbery.
The victim, who is white, said Smith and McKay, who are black, made racial slurs while chaining him to the truck.
Authorities said they do not doubt the comments were made but said the crime did not appear to be racially motivated, because the robbery occurred first.
