They never call theft hearsay.
There’s no discussion of he-said/she-said in Circumstantial murder cases- they lock innocent people up a LOT.
But in the group of crimes where women are harmed? When someone SHOULD be jailed?

No justice, not even the pretense Ever. We come forward, we are attacked, then assumed guilty. Forever.
Even if there’s a conviction.

They lock people up, without proof, all the time. It supposedly being hard to prove certain crimes? Not the issue.
CW: non-graphic reference to slavery & sexual assault.
The issue is America only pretends to value survivors. Men or women. #metoo

Then they use the period of unlawful “miscegenation” to insinuate that every woman would always lie about rape.
Which is nonsense. #timesup

And yes, when black women protest the attitudes about rape in America, sometimes the response is “but that’s how you got here.”
How does that make it right?

I’m not say the women who lied about their affairs with black men were in any way correct, despite many fearing for their lives.
Nor that anyone descended from slaves should be ashamed of the violent routes in their ancestry.

That’s not any of our shame to bear.
And in the cultures many of us came from, children are never considered illegitimate nor shamed for what occurred before their birth.

What I’m saying is America’s history of slavery is in our laws, our culture, our policing, the criminal justice system.
The argument the country is engaged in is a less-obvious way that shows how, in part, the hidden racism issue is part of what holds progress back.

We deal with slavery, then we deal with how it and the aftermath affects everything.
We deal with race and we realize why admitting sexual assault is a believable, probable crime that very few women lie about.

That there’s no revenge factor because you can’t prove it without evidence.
That the advantage to lying is non-existent.

Not that this isn’t already public knowledge. But there is knowing something and dealing with it.

Why not us?
Why not us?
