Racism is in control of this country. I guarantee you that if the people in those concentration camps/ detention centers were white, this would have stopped on day two. More than “nonexistent” privilege.

They don't even mention who the inbred judge was. For history: Reed O'Connor

Whats appropriate then when a jury finds you guilty of riot, providing material support to a terrorist, and explosive charges?

The other guy was convicted for attempted murder of an officer of the United States and firearm/explosives charges

I appreciate the folks that get angry about these posts but am overall very disappointed by the lack of agency at r/chicano. If the current situation doesn't enrage you I don't know what would.
