A lot of people are arguing "If Rittenhouse were black..." "A black guy would never walk in this situation." "You know if he were black they wouldn't even have a trial."
I think a lot of people in this country, myself included, believes the criminal justice system is unfair to black Americans. By arguing the above--it seems to be that people are suggesting that it's ok--and we just need to treat white People unfairly to even it out. Is that the case?
Or should the standard of "If he were black he'd be treated unfairly" not be thrown out like this? Should we maybe focus on criminal justice reform and racial disparities--not simply hoping the white kid gets life in prison "because you know a black kid would"
