I got to thank the innocence project for doing such good work. Sometimes this kind of news makes me sad,seeing how America was so easy to throw black men in jail without even the slightest care for his human life.

What you said is racist. So white men can't be wrongfully convicted? It doesn't matter if this happened 30 years ago, because what would set him free would be a DNA test, and that has been available since the 80's.

You can't blame racism for him being locked up 30 years. Blame the american judicial system, which made him serve 30 years for just rape and robbery (truly excessive), and for taking so long to give him a DNA test.

Let me ask you this, why wouldn't you just say "men" instead of "black men"?

Because the man was black. Huh-doy. More, because statistically, black men are more often wrongly accused by an enormous degree:

Talk whatever you want, those numbers speak for themselves.

It doesn't matter. Unless you have proof that there was prejudice for this man's case, you are simply talking out of your ass.

The most idiotic part is that your link just further supports my argument, because those 158 black men wrongfully convicted are statistically insignificant compared to the hundreds of thousands of black people convicted. Those 158 represent less than 0.05% of black people convicted.

Are we going to cry "racism" everytime an african is convicted? Should we also cry "racism" when a white man is convicted? Or how about a latino? Or an asian?
