Dang, this is super-fucked up.
This is America
How does it make sense? She’s got 12 years to serve for what happened while serving 43 years for a crime she didn’t commit, that means she served 31 extra years already! And that’s not even giving her the benefit of the doubt that she could potentially have spent 0 years in prison had she not been incarcerated in the first place meaning that the 12 years aren’t her fault but the fault of the system that put her in prison even though she was innocent!
Seriously. She’s banked a little time. She should be able to commit a few minor crimes and use her credit.
Not to mention, those extra years were undoubtedly due to the cutthroat environment of landing in prison and having to learn to survive. It’s a goddamn trope in movies/tv. In fucking sitcoms. Prison forces people to become criminals or else be brutalized.
So she was drugged, forced into confessing flimsily, sent to prison as a mentally unwell person, and had to survive. Those violence charges against her should’ve been thrown out immediately after they realized she was never supposed to be there in the first place.
This fuckin system in this fucking country…
That poor girl. Lost her whole life to some nonsense. So sad. I wish I could do more to stop things like this from happening
While i do agree with you, that is the correct word for it. Much like how if an Archeologists found the remains Caucasian people they would be called Caucasoid and Asian is called mongoloid.
Asian is called mongoloid.
One archeologist to another: looks like this person was happier than you and me.
A quick Google search tells me that the term is outdated and no longer used, having been refuted by modern genetics research.
It’s a sensitive topic but white and black people are genetically much more seperated than black and white rhinos which we are happy to describe as separate species.
The term isn’t outdated because it’s incorrect, it’s outdated because if you start saying different groups of humans are literally separate species it really feeds in to the racist agenda.
Edit: Given the replies, it appears that I may well be wrong, I remember reading it somewhere but I can’t find the source nkw. I’ll downvote myself but leave the comment up because it enables others to learn from my mistake
