Earlier quoted context omitted.

The US has a long history of letting murderers off the hook when there is a racial component[0]. With someone like Rittenhouse, who has become a darling of the white supremacy movement, the trial is part of an ongoing culture war. And culture warriors are going to do what they always do. [0] See, for example, the use of jury nullification after the US Civil War.

>The US has a long history of letting murderers off the hook when there is a racial component. Luckily that wasn't the case here so your comment is immaterial, a straw man.

I'm sorry I've hurt your feelings.

If a hispanic guy being aquitted for defending himself from three white attackers is your best example of white supremacy in action and your reference is from the civil war - maybe take a deep breath and realize the country isn't doing as bad as your peers at facebook claim
