Re: Kenosha Shooter – Kyle Rittenhouse Trial and Verdict [MERGED]
It wasn't vague back then
Yup, it was pretty explicit.
White male = lord of the country
white woman = his sentient sex toy
blacks = subhuman primates created to worship and work for the above
Of course most everyone (who isn't black and conscious) denies this, but that makes future amendments a paradox, if the constitution were intended to include everyone, what was the driving force behind the numerous subsequent various civil rights battles and court cases? Women had to beg for the right to vote, black people died just to sit in the same restaurants, and now we're being told to just take scout's honor that white men have no more bias and don't flex their exclusive economic, social, political and governmental control to the detriment of everyone else, even though literally everyone else is saying things are still broken.
In the realm of public opinion, the judicial system and execution let's draw a parallel to trends from the not-so-distant pass. When metoo became a thing men across the country challenged the movement as an overreach of women, an unnecessary, unfair and callous attempt to demonize men. They challenge and bully the accusers, demand a mountain range of evidence, witness testimony, receipts from the hotel to prove the accuser was there that day, and even if 50 women come forward and accuse the same man of the same thing the male response ranges from outright denial to cautiously skeptical... but still probably denial. They just the court system to protect women from abusers like Harvey Weinstein who has been running around raping everything with a pulse in Hollywood, openly. People knew it was happening and he still couldn't be stopped.
Rewind just a few decades and metoo was white women accusing black men of rape. We didn't even get trials, soon as a black man was pointed out the white townsmen grabbed their rope and guns and maybe a machete to cut his penis off and feed it to him after hanging him. No choruses of "Where's his day in court?" These were common occurences and nobody was calling for justice or fairness, the same people who just 30 years later would demand no less than video evidence of a sexual assault before they even consider if it might be true?
The law is not an entity, it's a tool, a tool that until recently been held by white men. Black people have been in this country for several centuries and are only now beginning to occupy political offices and positions of power, and even then mostly in little more than a ceremonial manner. It's strange as a black man to constantly be preached to about accountability, from a demographic that is literally terrified at the mere prospect of it, even at the most basic level.
"Race has nothing to do with it" is a convenient dismissal of racist power structures that we all know existed, they were literally written into the original document that governs our country and an entire national identity has been built around them. Now that minorities have equal voicing in America, it's no longer prudent to just talk about "the good parts" of these power structures. We won't allow it. We have to remind those in control of these dynamics at every turn because OUR liberty which we're STILL fighting for depends on it. Case in point... this verdict.
