Too many Marc Lamont Hills.

It’s a good thing we’re not a court of law!

Also eye opening to see who sides with old white men who take advantage of legal loopholes they paid to have in there in the first place - in real time
Zimmerman did nothing wrong right?
Conviction, sentencing, and actually DOING IT are ALL different things. But we already know that right?

The same court of law that once upheld that Black Americans were not to enjoy all their rights as full fledged citizens of this country?
Knowing how the pendulum of American law swings, it's a dangerous game to play with the "that's legal, therefore it's right" argument.
???
Can you guys please elaborate?
I'm not following your logic.
Let me ask a different way.
Should Bill Cosby be in prison?

George Zimmerman was never proven guilty in a court of law.
Following your logic, is he innocent of killing Trayvon Martin ?

What's legal is not necessarily morally right, and what's morally right is not always legal.

Not familiar with MLH discussing this but I definitely recommend reading Manning Marable’s book on Malcolm X.

Yes.
Y'all keep talking like the court of law is infallible and there haven't been murderers and rapists who have been found not guilty.
Cosby's situation is adjacent to Klan members who murder black ppl and then are found not guilty.
Its going to get to a point when we will see what happens when the justice system continues to fail the ppl.

Likewise, some folks are acting as if the court of public opinion is infallible and there haven’t been people falsely accused and wrongfully convicted.

I don't know about any situation where the court of public opinion getting it wrong led to murderers and rapists going free.
So I would say its stupid to compare the two. The Justice system failing us matters much more than the court of public opinion getting it wrong.
Especially in a situation where a person has been accused by 60 different ppl of the same thing. That type thing just doesn't happen frequently to innocent ppl.
But if you can correct me with some examples feel free to.

This cuts both ways, right. A racist can use this type of half-baked logic to justify not needing to resort to courts of law which results in situations like Emmit Till. Instead, they can indict, convict, and penalize based on the court of public opinion.
This court of public opinion is based on substantially less fact, evidence, and ability to cross examine.
