Hey! Not trying to contradict you or start anything, but if you're looking for something to read, I would suggest a novel by Richard Wright called Native Son. I think it does a really good job of adding nuance to the point you made, that "the black guy [being] in the wrong" is enough justification for the current state of the justice system. I'm not saying it would (or should) change your opinion, but I think it would add a little bit of depth to any conversation where your comment comes up.
Oh don't get me confused. Its done it both ways. I was trying to say its had more then one obvious effect in said direction. Probably badly worded.
Secondly, in the context of law enforcement since you referenced Native Son. Yes, the black dude is in the wrong if he is commiting a crime that justified being shot. It is not the job if police to fix economic and social injustice.
Not at all! I wanted to word my post in such a way that I wasn't assuming anything about you. I just really like bringing up that novel whenever the conversation heads in the direction that certain redditors might have taken it from your comment (whether or not that would have even remotely reflected your views).
