Racism is alive and well in the US. It's baked into our society. Yes, I am including liberals in this.
I'll give you an example of how baked into our society racism is; the Grammys.
After the 2025 Grammy winners were announced, a new category was created. It was the Best Traditional Country Album category.
Now, you're probably thinking, "how is that racist?" Which is reasonable. How is creating a brand new category in the Grammys racist?
Because a black woman won in 2025. And if you picture in your mind a "traditional country singer" do you picture anything other than a white man?
This kind of thing happens all the time. A black person will succeed in an industry and immediately afterwards the rules are changed to make it harder for the next one to succeed.
So, yes, skin color does matter. Recognizing that we as a society still judge people by it is important.
If by "some anonymous unverified source" you mean the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York in the case they brought against Trump, specifically, United States v. Fred C. Trump, Donald Trump, and Trump Management, Inc. 1:73-cv-01529, then yes.
So, I want you to think about this "2024 that was instructed that the didn’t need to agree on what crime Trump committed. They just had to agree that he committed come kind of crime." for a moment.
How would that instruction make sense in a court of law where a jury has to reach a unanimous decision on the specific charges the defendant has been accused of? Not a unanimous decision of guilt, but a unanimous decision on what they are guilty of.
Let's say that someoen was accused of a felony parking violation AND murder. Half of the jury says they definitely did the parking thing but not the murder but the other half says they definitely did the murder but not the parking thing.
That's no a unanimous decision on what they are guilty of doing.
That's why you can see trials where the defendant is accused of X and Y but is only found guilty of X. Or 3 counts of X but they're only found guilty of one count of X.
And if you want to say, "But that's what they were told!" a lawyer from an empty mall could win that appeal.
