I am no fan of Sean Combs, but

Matt Gaetz went unpunished for virtually the same thing, Epstein got a ridiculously light sentence, and Trump.has never been held accountable for anyting in his life.

You really have to have to emphasize with African Americans continously get more harsh treatment in our legal system.

against your premise. I detest Matt Gaetz, but it does not appear that the magnitude of crimes between these two was even on the same planet.

Again, I have not wanted to keep up with it, but if you are a breathing sentient being in the US it was impossible to escape and what I have learned absolutely underscores my point above.

Throw 'em both in the same cell as far as I'm concerned.

Which he was found not guilty. But for prostitution charges he is treated worse than Epstein. Worse than a lot of white sexual offenders.
