White guy avi

Was waiting in line to contest a ticket for dismal at one of the tiny micro-cities inside Houston. Kid you not, it was just a bunch of white folks walking out no-contest and another line of AAs getting filed up to actually try their cases.
I’m sure this was a coincidence. Also, the sheriff looking interchangeable with the Sheriff Rosco from Dukes of Hazzard, a pure coincidence.

That might be true. But it’s important to note that we want the world to be more kind to everyone, and not universally unforgiving.

Is this even English cause I didn’t understand a single word.

Its perfectly clear, i can Rephrase it in midwest english:
I was at the courthouse in my neighborhood to try to get a ticket dismissed. You wouldn’t believe it, but there were a bunch of white people getting dismissed easily while African Americans all had court dates set to have trials.
Surely this was a coincidence, especially with a town sherreif who looks like a good ol boy with a gun. Certainly coincidence.echodot@feddit.uk 1 day ago
No contest isn’t a dismissal. It’s just means that you are not pleading guilty, but are accepting the courts ruling.

Context implied to me that a dismissal was meant by no contest, despite it being the literal phrase we hse when accepting the court’s opinion with no contest.
Maybe I’m wrong, Idk, text is tricky.

My Daisy Duke shorts always get me a pass, even when I don’t get around to trim around the hedges.

Yeah this looks like a written appeal so not sure what race has to do with it

If the appeal has a name on it then there could still be bias. Somewhat related: I heard job applications still got biased reviews with names redacted because the contents were culturally specific enough.
