you can't just say "black". that doesn't mean anything without proper context.
or should the judge also take into account the country of origin and their cultural norms when deciding on sentencing? maybe the rule of law in the countries they came from?
in general, do women and white people of middle class or upper class get more leniency than poor persons of colour? of course they do. and it isn't right.
but the answer to this isn't by some knee-jerk white guilt response and a blanket law.
taking into account an individuals upbringing would be more appropriate than just taking into account the persons colour.
besides, you're so concerned about black people. how about other "colors"?
haven't the Chinese, Japanese, pakistani people, etc, also faced racism for hundreds of years? you don't care about them?

Your post makes absolutely zero sense. Because I am concerned with racism against black people, that must mean I don't care about the "Japanese, Chinese, and Pakistani" people? Get a grip.
