Our justice system is imperfect, but "corrupt and racist" is a stretch. And all I did was ask a (reasonable!) question.


As a white person who has been through "the system", it is absolutely corrupt and racist. I have seen black men put in jail for the same crime that white men were let go on - in the same courtroom, on the same day, by the same judge - with all external factors being equal except race.


It is corrupt and racist. How you could think otherwise in America blows my mind.


Racism in the justice system isn’t even close to arguable. It’s proven. We have plenty of data.
