There is a reason almost all the screaming harpies we saw during Kavanaugh’s confirmation were White. The whole idea that a mere accusation should be enough is exactly the rationale that was used as a justification for lynching several black men in the past.
Oh by the way, the Obama administration’s “dear colleague” letter which required colleges to set up kangaroo courts under which any male accused of rape by any woman almost automatically deemed guilty and punished accordingly once again saw lots of Black men victimized by this.
I think many Blacks realize that if innocent until proven guilty is just cast aside - as the Left wants to do - they will often be the victims of it.
Since it is almost a staple of Leftist ideology, if not THE staple, that such proceedings are about power imbalance between the oppressors and victims rather than justice it is already pretty much already accepted that black persons suffer social injustice from convictions ... even if they did it ... it’s probably seen as par for the course.
All Obama was doing was clarifying who was where on the ladder of relative victimhood.
On numerable occasions I’ve attempted to point out that the fact that black jurors seem more than willing to convict black defendants (subpoint 1: it is difficult to seat a jury to in a serious matter stand in judgment over a black defendant that doesn’t include any black jurors and subpoint 2: it takes but one juror to prevent conviction) should falsify the idea that the conviction rate represents intended social injustice.
I’ve gone so far to opine that it may well be the case that black persons who are jurors, when they are actually the ones called on to decide guilt based on the evidence and the arguments presented, may be MORE willing than average to convict black defendants because they are all too aware that their victims were probably black.
I propose that they do so because black folks are simply sick and tired of the criminal element.
When I do present such arguments it usually bumps off Leftists’ dense noggins because to consider that means more than just consideing the actions of the actions of black jurors as real flesh and blood individuals but reconsidering the all pervading myth of power and oppression of different entities (”white people” vs “black people”, “men” vs “women”, “normal people” vs “homosexuals”).
The Left trades in myths that should not be questioned and therefore are rarely questioned by too many Leftist. These are the first principals for why they are Leftists in the first place and why their answer for the suffering of abstractions of persons for which the fate of actual persons to the contrary is seen as spurious (successful black people are still victims even if they don’t know it) is an abstract entity: government.
In the end justice is little more than Just-Us ... and social justice like social injustice has little to do with reality but everything to do with their twisted perceptions of reality through ideological lenses.
