    We need a Poor Nobody Black Man clause to the legal system. If we really want the legal/justice system to apply equally to everyone, then everyone’s identity should be obfuscated and presented as being a poor black man of no fame or renown.

    It shouldn’t have to be this way, and it’s regrettable that people who naturally fall under one or more of those categories experience a different system than if not, but that’s exactly why it could be effective. It could either see the system changed to be less prejudiced, or it could see actual justice being done to those who deserve it most.

    Or I’m just totally out of my mind and don’t realize it.

      I’d rather see fines as a percentage of income. It would lessen the burden on the poor and actually give the wealthy meaningful consequences.

      But I know that’s literally the opposite of how the system is designed.
