Is this the 3rd wife
Is this adultery
Caught in a bad lie
No escaping a felony
Open your eyes
Wake up to the lies & see
Don is a fool boy
Doesn't know history
he’s pretty dumb pretty slow
Tiny hands orange glow
As long as he goes
Doesn’t really matter to me...

Sleazy con, sleazy glow
Doesn't really matter to thee
To thee

Mueller Mia, Mueller Mia
Because he lies has an indictment sealed for THEE
FOR THEE FOR THEE!

Quote:Yea it does. How much do you want bet, that if a black actress were accused of the same trying to get her daughter into a school by cheating, that her bail would be higher and if convicted her sentence longer?

A zillion, trillion dollars.  Is it your contention that Halle Berry or Zoe Saldana would, if charged with what Ms. Loughlin is charged with, be treated more harshly?

On average, yes.

But certainly between no name white middle class, and working white poor, it would be even more pronounced if black or brown middle class or poor.

It still remains on economics and justice on average, minorities are hurt worse over pay and justice.

She didn't end up dead interacting with police. Just like Roger Stone was a fucking asshole for trying to equate his arrest to being treated like like Bin Laden.

She like Stone are white, have money and power and can make bail. But minorities, even accused of shoplifting, or pot possession are far more likely to be treated more severely than a white person charged with a similar crime.

Same thing here with Aborigines.

Indigenous people make up 3% of our population, but 28% of our prison population. And no, I do not accept the argument that as a group they are more criminally inclined. I think it is far more likely that some of our police are knuckle dragging racist pricks.

Um, some sure. But it is more along the lines globally that light skinned humans, are still stuck on the European colonialism.

But we aren't talking about the white middle class or the working poor.  We're talking about celebrities committing white collar crimes.  I'll rephrase my earlier question: 

Do you think the cops would have shot and killed Halle Berry if she was charged with the same crime, under the same circumstances as Lori Loughlin?  (Remember - YOU'RE the one who said 'She didn't end up dead interacting with the police')
