    Statistical fact: black jurors are more likely to make a guilty verdict for white defendants and less likely to for black defendants. The same thing is true for white jurors (when factoring per capita)

      ​@@Jayne-bk1qp The opposite of poverty is socialism.
      It also brings justice and a more fair distribution of wealth.
      Capitalism is about oppression and exploitation. Competition is less efficient than cooperation and always leads to conflict. Its ideals are selfishness and being self-centred. We need more empathy and caring about society and our neighbours.🎉

    Amen. Rich guilty people are treated so much better than poor innocent people. Injustice prevails. Look at Trump, a convicted felon sitting in the oval office!!!

    Wait, but is there justice if you’re rich, or is there actually injustice because you can get away with things?
