[1StrongBlackMan]

in Akron, OH ... back in 1921.

In brutally frank remarks, the white attorney declared that the U.S. legal system was inherently biased against black people.

“There isn’t a state in the union where a colored man has an equal chance in a court of justice,” Darrow told the audience. “You’ve got to have money if you want a fair break in a court today. People never get money working — that’s why I’ve been a lawyer — and what chance does a colored man have to get enough money to prepare the defense demanded in a modern court?”

And his observation is as true today, as it was then.
