    1. You must watch this exchange where a Louisiana DA flippantly admits the state's justice system was built on racist ideals from slavery, says "it is what it is." Then a bold lawmaker responds. 2. Read my full my piece on how Louisiana can fix this TODAY https://injusticetoday.com/louisiana-prosecutor-testifies-in-favor-of-jury-law-rooted-in-white-supremacy-784a25bfe834 …pic.twitter.com/tQK1T5SUdP

    Louisiana DA Admits State's Justice System Built on Slavery
    Louisiana is 1 of only 2 states in the nation that allows people to be found guilty of crimes with just 10 out of 12 jurors. This was created in the shadows of slavery to convict African Americans.

        GREAT NEWS! The Louisiana House just voted to become the 49th state to require jurors to be unanimous in their guilty verdicts. It will now go to the ballot before voters this November.http://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/politics/legislature/article_3b633f84-5798-11e8-a5d1-f361ba45aedc.html …

        This is how they all think. Ppl keep electing these racist pos. And wonder why change doesn't happen. In PA we have elected a Governor who is about reform. Soon as he doesn't uphold what he said he will do. He will be out. You have to vote in ppl who think like this. Ask them!

        This is America...🇺🇸 You can't make people care about something when it doesn't affect them. Equality is only great as an Idea. 😥Institutional Racism is the founding principle of every American institution. #StayWoke #OurFightMustEndure 🙏🏾

        “It is what it is” is such a lazy remark, no matter the circumstances. In this instance, he deserved the response. 🔥🔥🔥

        The fact that he said that is he feels comfortable enough to get away with it and has no respect.

        Yes sir...Rep. James is so right to immediately voice his offense at that flippant comment made by an elected official.
