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.

WXYZ 7 News Detroit · Why was the driver in a viral video's license still suspended 2 years after a judge ordered it lifted?The video of Corey Harris that went viral has garnered a lot of laughs but it is no joke for Harris who is trying to understand how he even ended up being charged with driving while license suspended.

@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?

@simontoth

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.

@simontoth

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!
