Emily G added,
Not only are black people disproportionately represented in prison, their sentences also tend to be longer for the same convictions.
So, I dunno, I am all for sharing stories of the system breaking the hell down. But this is just more erasure.
White wrongful conviction stories need four perspectives. One Black dude should be able to cover that race angle, right? sigh.
Only redeeming quality I can think of is that, for ppl raised without empathy & serious internalized but unconscious racism...
...it may be an easier first breakthrough to get them to empathize w/ the _situation_, for victims "more like themselves". Yes this is awful
But they absolutely should have had more representation of non-white victims of the system. No excuse not to.
