Jordan Neely's murderer being acquitted even from negligent homicide (after manslaughter was dropped) is so deeply disgusting and absurdIt's anti-Black racism in plain sight, from end to endThe trial evidence was abundantly clear, over the top, and the White Man gets off scot free — but what really hits me in the gut is that this is just ONE very public trial with clear evidence. There are THOUSANDS of Black people murdered every year in what should be named (and punished) as hate crimes.Meanwhile, thousands of patently innocent Black people are jailed every year, or criminalized for victimless or minor crimes that White people are rarely charged for.
