Jemele Hill spots racism in ‘overzealous’ reaction to Carlee Russell kidnap hoax: ‘Do some critical thinking’
“Overzealous” legal backlash over the Carlee Russell kidnapping hoax came only because a Black woman was at the center of it, The Atlantic writer Jemele Hill tweeted.nypost.com
I had to post this because I think the premise by the author of the article that introducing legislation to try and prevent future faking of incidents such as this, is (wait for it) RACIST!!! Read it for yourself and see what you think. I think it is ridiculous.
It is ridiculous and I am tired of this type of thought process as it excuses people from being responsible for their own behavior.
Clearly the author chose to ignore the fact that the states surrounding Alabama already have those tougher laws on the books, and changing the penalty to match the crime had nothing to do with race. But there will always be some...just pouring gasoline on a fire.
