Yep.

A race element isn't "required" for these statutory rape cases to receive the sentencing and outcome they receive. However, the race element does feed off of public perception and stereotypes to add fuel to the fire.

And OMG what is up with these girls?

I watched a Lifetime about women doing mandatory minimums for drug conspiracies. There are some women who are doing life just because of taking a message or driving their boyfriend somewhere. It was really scary.

I just see it as the girl was a slut. She got passed around like nothing while on video tape. She's a smart one too.

If that's smart to you then I don't know what isn't.

So is how you see it supposed to negate something?

They were the idiots who videotaped it.

Yeah, i remember a kid from my town that went to prison his senior year of HS for sleeping with a freshmen girl. He was white and came from a wealthy family/ arrested by white cops and tried and convicted by white lawyers and judges...is that amerikkkan?? Seriously though, I feel really bad for you. I've never had misjudgement or inequality placed against my sparkely white skin.
