I'd like to go on record saying that black people have been, and frequently are, victimized by the same prosecutorial prejudice I just referenced in the Rittenhouse prosecution, with the main difference being that blacks almost always are relying on public defenders, who are worse than useless when you are charged with serious felonies. Is that racism? Yes, but not exclusively: class, IMO, is a larger factor, because poor whites get reamed out by this system just as frequently, *statistically* -- what skews the numbers so dramatically is that blacks are statistically much poorer, historically. As the middle class is being liquidated this is being evened out fairly quickly, but this is completely antithetical to "social justice" because the people who've primarily benefitted from racism, historically, are the self-proclaimed elites -- the very same group that is pushing and funding CRT in America. Which is ironic because when you look at how "police defunding" is playing out, poor blacks are getting screwed the worst because they live in the places that are hit the hardest, and cannot afford to relocate.
