Case for support of the Grand Jury decision

[TorchTheWitch]

38. enough of the racism about the jurors

I'm really fucking tired of people constantly bringing up the race of the jurors as if they're so racist that they would make their decision based on their own race or anyone else's. Racism is never going to end until people STOP thinking that a person's race or the race of another is what makes even their most critical and important decisions.

The racial make up of the jurors and how they voted matters not one single iota, and I'm shocked that anyone would even consider their races. I'm pissed off that their races were even reported. It's the ONLY thing about them that has been reported, and it should be abundantly obvious why... so that even those people that claim to abhor racism and love to point it out in everyone else whether it's there or not can happily be racist themselves believing that any juror on that panel whether white or black made their decision based on race while being entirely blind to how racist that is not to mention how insulting to those jurors regardless of which race they are.

As for why they voted as they did... no one here other than me has given a single fart in the wind about evidence from the first report of the incident. Anyone else that may have has kept their mouths shut all this time. Best of luck getting anyone to even look at it other than the race part since believing that the races of the jurors is all that moved them has been fashionable here with no one even realizing how grossly racist and insulting that is.

This case has caused far more damage to race relations than anything else I can think of in more decades than I care to consider. Every bit of reporting continually emphasized race with every single article when not one single person actually involved in the incident ever said one single thing about anyone's race. Even those people that normally and thankfully never even notice anyone's race or how or why it may move them in their beliefs and decision making have jumped on the racist bandwagon not seeing anyone as a person but as a WHITE person or as a BLACK person. Just how the hell does anyone expect to overcome racial problems or racism in general by emphasizing everyone's race? The only way that racism can ever stop is to stop looking at everyone as a person of XYZ race and believing it is the end all and be all of everything they say or do, and to do that as someone who claims they aren't racist and without even realizing how racist it is to be judging the decisions of the jurors solely based on their races is abominable.

I keep having terrible visions of the civil rights era where black men protested wearing or carrying signs that said "I Am A Man" meaning they weren't a BLACK man but a man just like any other man. Martin Luther King would be rolling over in his grave to see people that claim to abhor racism figuratively hanging a sign on every person that says "I Am A Black Man/Woman" or "I Am A White Man/Woman" utterly destroying everything that works when it comes to overcoming racism. Rather than shaming the media by emphasizing everyone's race, everyone EMBRACED it believing that they were somehow helping to turn the tide against racism when all it has done was cause more racism than I've ever personally seen in my life.

As a lily white blonde person so light I'm practically translucent I seem to be a target for every racist on earth that believe that because I'm so extremely white that they can freely make racist remarks with the belief that I feel the same way. I can't even count anymore the number of people I've publicly roasted alive and while at work making the foul judgment that because I practically glow in the dark that I'm just as racist as they are. And every single time not ONE other person stood up with me though many had said something in thanks very quietly and under their breath for which I also roasted them for being so disgustingly cowardly. Never in my life have I ever let any racist comments go past me, and I utterly resent the assumption that my glowing whiteness makes me just as racist as these foul people. Anyone I see doing it here is equally going to get the rough edge of my tongue. Since I only even open a small fraction of threads here and have an ignore list so long that it could probably wrap around my entire town several times I absolutely cringe to imagine how much of the racism here that I'm not even seeing as what I have seen has been absolutely appalling.
