DEI and Affirmative Action have been around in one form or another, since the 1960’s. And ever since, conservatives have worked hard to tie it to blackness- but this is not true.
In all of that time, do you know who the primary beneficiary of this policy has been?

His "sentence" tells all of the world how our criminal "justice" system works. White Americans will vote to let a rich white man off, but they'll hurl maximum sentences and enslave poor defendants and defendants of color. Deny it if you want, but it's in the history books, plain and simple, now.
