How about this one:Because there's no variables in either case. They're as simple as you described: a white guy killing a black kid, compared to black woman firing a warning shot. Yep, as simple as that. No bias, either.

White person: Kills an unarmed black kid and he's not guilty
Black person: Fires a warning shot to defend herself against a threatening partner and gets 20 years
Same state, too.
Oh, I never said there's no bias. There's lots of bias. The biggest one is that there's a bias that says black people belong in prison, white people don't.
