Keep on focusing on meaningless things such as race and missing the forest for the trees. Then wonder why with nearly every election, Democrats are just barely scraping a win even though their opponents are goddamn fascists.

Please try to phrase your arguments in a less aggressive and intentionally inflammatory way. You weren’t insulting anyone directly but it was on the line, and just encourages a culture or toxicity and ragebaiting.
Do you really think he would have only gotten three years if he was black? Because data shows otherwise. Systemic racism is real and it is a problem. Especially when it comes to putting people in prison, the slavery system which is still legal in this country.
