(12,041 posts)You are one person who likes to go around scolding people who oppose the murder of unarmed black teenagers and telling them that they don't understand the law.
The problem is we do understand the law, and we understand the law is racist and needs to be challenged. We understand that people like you who tear down those who are standing up and speaking out against the murder of innocent black people are supporting that racist system.
We have seen the law lock up far too many black citizens for drug crimes while white people who use the same drugs are given treatment instead of prison.
We have seen our prisons filled up with non-violent black people and we have seen the complete failure of the law to address such racial disparities.
And then we see gunners insisting they have the right to gun unarmed people down in the streets and demand we prove the person they gunned down to be innocent.
I see you in thread after thread advocating for the right of people to gun down unarmed black men, but I have never once seen you express any concern what so ever about the rights of people like Trayvon Martin.
The law you keep telling us we don't understand is actually a law we understand far too well, it is a law that imprisons and on many occassions outright kills innocent black people, but instead of trying to change this racist law you lecture the people who are trying to change it.
Don't tell me I don't understand the law, because I understand it far too well and I am sick of hearing people defend the racist system.
