In an order issued today, U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria said that the hand-written notes of prosecutors from a 31-year-old murder case “constitute strong evidence that, in prior decades, prosecutors from the [Alameda County District Attorney’s] office were engaged in a pattern of serious misconduct, automatically excluding Jewish and African American jurors in death penalty cases.”

    It’s almost as if you’re not part of cisgendered, white, male, heteronormative subsection of society, you see how inherently unjust our so-called justice system is, isn’t it?

    This isn’t solely blaming white men?

    You literally distanced everyone who isn’t a white straight male from the problem presented in the article including white women even though they are a major part of the problem. While this makes sense for black Latino, Asian and lgbtq groups including white women in that list is on some bullshit

          Okay, I get it. White women are the worst people in the world and should be barred from being on juries.

            It almost like you can fight the injustices your gender faces while recognizing the privilege that comes with your race.

            But I guess pretending white women do no wrong is easier for you. Also it doesn’t help you’re using a talking point white “all lives matter” men use.

              I was talking about race this entire time. Literally over and over again.

              I also don’t remember pretending that white women can do no wrong.

              When did I pretend such a thing?

              That wouldn’t be a lie, would it?

                You’ve basically argued this entire time that white women are not problematic when it comes to jury bias. While im criticizing the very real problems in the justice system white women are responsible for your response is

                This is like arguing with a cop apologist

                  I have not argued that at all. I know that’s what you want me to argue, but that’s different.

                    So you didn’t exclude white women from the ignorance of the injustices minorities face from jury bias in your original comment? Because you did
