Of course it's "unprovable". they aren't fucking idiots. Please allow me to use your own words, which I happen to completely agree with by the way. You readily acknowledge that the "system" is inherently racist. You said "systemic racism in law enforcement, the judicial system and society as a whole". If this is indeed indicative of our judicial system, which I fully believe that it is, why is it such a stretch for you to believe that he knew that this would be the outcome. What other possible outcomes were there? Was law enforcement and the judicial system going to magically become less racist? No, black people were still going to be arrested and locked up disproportionately. The only difference now was that the penalties were going to be MUCH stiffer. They knew that they were going to stop some black kid and the kid was going to have one or two crack rocks in his pocket and he was going to receive a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 fucking years in prison. Just like they knew that the white boy that they occasionally pop out in the suburbs would need 100 times that amount of powder to get that very same sentence. Anything less, they were going to give him a stern talking to, and then call his parents to come and get him and take him home. The black kid has now had his life ruined because he's now a convicted felon, which means that he's almost completely unemployable, can't get public housing, and all of the other indecencies that come with being a convicted felon. White boy gets slapped on the wrists and sent home to get ready for college.That is an unprovable assumption. As this is the premise of your entire argument, the rest of what you said is moot.
C'mon see4, how could they have not known that this would be the inevitable outcome? Take your blinders off for a second. You're smarter that this, man.
