(50 posts)Just look at GWB for example. In a just world, he'd be sitting alone in a jail cell for the rest of his sad life for the heinous war crimes committed under his name. In reality, however, he is free to tour all across the country to promote his rubbish. How sad.

(9,350 posts)I am not trying to say that race does not play a role in how the police react to crimes. However, in the case of Lindsay Lohan it most likely has more to to with her wealth and celebrity status than the fact that she is white. I will acknowledge that at this moment I cannot name a black celebrity who has done the things that Lohan did while not being shot. However, there are a number of poor white women who are in jail after having done far less than Lohan.

(9,610 posts)Capitalism is NOT a merit based reward system. It is unjust and needs to be dismantled or tossed out like last weeks trash.
Also, white privilege and money buys justice in USA.

(25,406 posts)If only he followed Lindsay Lohan's antics more closely, he would definitely come out in favor of dismantling the free-market capitalist system. Come on Paul, I sense another Nobel if you play this one right.

Thank you.
