Biden Losing It

[bennyboy]

We do that to terrorists sometime.  It isn't to protect their identity.....or to provide open justice.  There are a host of practical issues with a secret defendant as well..but I can't see any of it bothering a person advocating for rights abrogation.

I think I prefer the way where I get to look my accuser straight in the face and call them a fucking liar.  Howsabout you?  See, I figure appealing to you is bound to be more useful than trying to elicit even an ounce of common sense concern for anyone else.  So...do you think that maybe you have a right to know who your police forces have in custody, and why?  Do you think you might want someone...anyone...to know that you are in custody, and what for?  In case your obvious lack of a moral example growing up leaves you similarly corrupted, ofc?  I mean, every time one of You People pops your head out you're worse than before..and if that's not corruption what could be?

If no, so be it, but I can tell you how hooding defendants in us trials would go.  Whole bunch of black guys convicted with hoods on their faces by people who never had to muster up the courage to face the man they condemned, who didn't even know who it -was- they condemned.  No reason to wait until we sentence them to death, amiright?  We'd run out of them eventually, though, and then you'd have to wonder if some accelerationist or eliminationist like me was eyeballing you for a good old fashioned headsock and anonymous trial.  Rolling those dice?

We've watched this movie before, haven't we?

Given that the justice system is intrinsically racist, since black people are overrepresented, then how would YOU operationalize a reduction in racism?

I'm saying that if those involved in producing a verdict or the sentences don't KNOW the race of the suspect, then they will be unable, consciously or unconsciously, to be racist toward them.

But we both know that it wouldn't matter-- because the cops will continue dragging in a disproportionate number of black people-- not because they're fucked up from growing up poor and being influenced by drugs and shitty schools, mind you, but because cops are evil racists.

So we can chant "Be. . . less. . . racist!" but I'd like to know how you'd operationalize that.  What steps, exactly, would you like to see happen to recitfy the situation?

The last time we watched this movie, you wouldn't produce pragmatic steps.  It ended with "Duh-- don't be racist, of course!"  I think there might have been a few head-slaps memes peppered in for extra entertainment.

But times change.  Let's brainstorm, here.  Rather than fighting for prisoners (aka black people) to vote, I'd fight for a system where they never get to a place where it even needs to be an issue.
