So the Black man that everyone was laughing at for dialing in to his court case from his car, while his license was suspended, is not so foolish. Racism has people laughing at its victims.
We'll see how many of the people that were laughing because they thought "Foolish criminal dials in from car, on suspended license case!" have anything cute to say now. You know that none of them will.
It's just the regular anti-Black cruelty in the US criminal justice system.

@mekkaokereke I really don't follow the logic in this thread.
The suspension was unfair and therefore "committing an offense on recorded video while talking to a judge" is not funny?
His license was not suspended. That's the whole point.
A judge unsuspended his license. Years ago.
He's been trying to get the paperwork to reflect that for years.
@mekkaokereke OK, the entire thing then makes even less sense.
Everyone in the video says that the license is suspended.
I genuinely can't tell if you're trolling, or are much slower than most people to understand this thread. I'm going to assume positive intent, which is that you're just slow.
Either way, I'm not the right person to 101 explain this to you. I'd ask one of our Black mutuals to help us out here, but there aren't any. So, you'll have to find someone on your own I'm afraid.
Be well!
@simontoth @mekkaokereke he got (incorrectly) charged for driving without a license, because the lift of the suspension never made it to the end of the process. which is what is so baffling about this.
not sure why that warrants calling you slow or trolling, especially as it was confusing to read without knowledge of US justice, but welp.
Did you read the article? I always find it best to do so before commenting.
Admin error left his licence listed as suspended. That is not "unfair". That is "unjust". The difference being that the state failed to do their job and is making him pay for their error.
This miscarriage of justice is then being treated as a joke. It is illustrative of the systemic racism faced by US Black people.
You're being asked if you're slow because you're asking why it isn't funny in your post.
