    Please watch this. In my lifetime it is probably one of the 3-4 clearest admissions I've ever seen from a sitting District Attorney that the laws he uses (and wants to continue to use) were built in the shadows of slavery to target & oppress African Americans.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/996031528684703745 …

    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

        This shows the ignorance and lack of intelligence in those throughout america who claim that racism doesn't exist and that black people should get over slavery. Clearly the system was set up to attack slaves and continues unchanged, to be oppressive to black men and women.

        I still can’t believe that you said @HillaryClinton and @realDonaldTrump were two sides of the same coin. Will you take that back now?

        Glad he intervene and informed him of his ignorance. Need more of this type of response from our black politicians. They also have to speak up on the sudden rise of whites calling the cops for non criminal issues.
