So the Black man that everyone was laughing at for dialing in to his court case from his car, while his license was suspended, is not so foolish. Racism has people laughing at its victims.

We'll see how many of the people that were laughing because they thought "Foolish criminal dials in from car, on suspended license case!🤣" have anything cute to say now. You know that none of them will.

It's just the regular anti-Black cruelty in the US criminal justice system.

@mekkaokereke this case made it into international media without the context you provided below. You can't blame people for not knowing the judicial system in a certain state is rigged in this way.

I'm glad you elaborated, because I learned something, but this is contextual information that truly matters and it's really the news outlets' responsibility to do due diligence here.

@mekkaokereke so everyone should be able to find their way in the complete mess that is a foreign judicial system - even though locals can't even - whenever they read something?

Do you do the same every time you read news from a foreign country? I bet you don't.

I thank you for setting the record straight but your anger should be with the media.

@mekkaokereke I'm not rejecting media literacy, you're greatly oversimplifying it.

I'd call that ableist, but honestly not even people with average intelligence are adequately equipped for the challenge, as evidenced by the current age of misinformation.

@ryanhoulihan not sure as the only facial surgery I've had is wisdom teeth removal but I wish you a speedy recovery and results you're happy with.
