and these cretins, along with Barr & Trump claim there isn't systemic racism...
I am reminded of the black woman stopped for a minor driving thing, he arrested her & they claim she hung herself. WTF

As these memories flood my mind, I can't help but ask: How is it that the employees in that pharmacy couldn't give me the benefit of the doubt over a $2.49 package of batteries, but Rittenhouse, who has been charged with killing two people, can be extended this courtesy?

To be clear, I understand that this campaign to raise money for Rittenhouse was orchestrated specifically by people on the political right, and yes, the incidents happened in different times and places. I also know that people are free to donate to whatever cause they want.
But we live in a country where Black people routinely see themselves being treated unfairly compared to their White counterparts. It's a problem that we can't and shouldn't ignore. And it's a problem that instantly causes Black people to collectively ask any time the Kyle Rittenhouses of the world come across our screens: "I wonder how this situation would have played out if he were Black?"
