Black people in the U.S. are seven times more likely to be falsely convicted of a serious crime like murder than white people, according to a new report published Tuesday by the National Registry of Exonerations. The finding is based on an analysis of exonerations for serious crimes in the U.S. over the last four decades, which found that Black people make up less than 14% of the U.S. population but account for 53% of exonerations in the country.

"In addition to dramatic disparities across racial groups in false convictions, the report finds that innocent Black people also spend a significantly longer time in prison before exoneration than white people, with many spending in excess of 20, 30 or 40 years in prison for crimes they did not commit."

"When the false convictions are drilled down into categories, a staggering 69% of drug conviction exonerees are Black, compared with just 16% who are white. That means that despite studies showing that Black and white people use drugs at similar rates, innocent Black people are 19 times more likely to be convicted of drug crimes than innocent white people."

"In sexual assault cases, the report notes, Black people are nearly eight times more likely than white people to be falsely convicted of rape, mainly because of higher misidentification of Black suspects by white victims."

"Murder convictions that ultimately led to exonerations of Black defendants, however, were nearly 50% more likely to include misconduct by police officers than murder exonerations of white defendants."

As , the United States, potentially heads into another forever war I can only think of this quote.

Do not let this empire toss away your humanity. Do not let this shit empire stop you from empathizing with the victims of American foreign policy.

America is a fascist state. Empathize with people they tell you are the enemy, the “radical” left and victims (people of color, muslims, those exploited by american capitalist interest) .

Moderates who are still pro fascism are still fascists. Those who are for this pointless war spurned by a genocidal imperial vassal state should not be trusted.

You are a human being. Every Muslim in Iran facing American bombs is being targeted for imperialist interests. Listen to a fucking leftist or the victims of imperialism.

You have more in common with them than those in power telling you Iranians are the enemy, as they’d gladly toss you aside, jail you, or kill you as well if you’re inconvenient. Biden starter the work to deport Pro Palestinian protestors and, well.

I could go on

I dunno, France is a weird one too.

This is what Trump was saying in 2013 about war in Iran. Now, he just launched a war with Iran.
