Rule by Racists: Racial Justice Act

Under moonbat rule, everything is rigged to favor blacks at the expense of whites — including fundamental aspects of government like criminal justice. Once again, California leads the way into insanity:

The Racial Justice Act, passed in 2020 without meaningful public review, turns long-standing academic tropes about implicit bias and white privilege into potent legal tools. And the floodgates are about to open. Starting this year, the RJA allows anyone serving time in a California prison or jail for a felony to challenge his conviction and sentencing retroactively on the ground of systemic racial bias.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. The system is biased not in favor of blacks but against them:

The Racial Justice Act operationalizes the proposition that every aspect of the criminal-justice system is biased against blacks. But according to the act’s legislative authors, it’s too hard to prove such bias in the case of individual arrests and prosecutions. Therefore, the act does away with the concept of individual fault and individual proof.

Mark Twain listed three kinds of lies in escalating order of their perniciousness: lies, damned lies, and statistics:

From now on in California, statistics purporting to show a pattern of bias in the past are enough to invalidate a current arrest, criminal charge, or judicial sentence.

Effectively this means that since blacks are more likely to commit crimes, they cannot be punished, because that would have a disparate impact.

Big Government’s thumb is heavy upon the scales of justice:

The California legislature gave the Office of the State Public Defender over $5 million in 2023 to litigate RJA claims. No money was allocated to district attorneys’ offices to defend against those claims.

Blacks are 17 times as likely as whites to be murdered in Los Angeles. That figure will rise as ever more black criminals are unleashed upon their communities, since they are the ones doing the killing. Liberals will happily seize on this as further evidence that blacks are oppressed and deserve even more favoritism.
