Congress, the DOJ, the New York Attorney General and other agencies are struggling because the system was never built to hold powerful white men to account.
My house is crazy. In a good way, but crazy nonetheless. It's full of kids, dogs, and chickens—each desperately needing to be fed. You know what else it's full of? Charging cords. Everywhere. I'm up to my eyeballs with them. For everybody's phones. And now, with 5 kids and adults in the house enrolled in school, we have a full on war for computer chargers. It's brutal. Of course, none of thechargers work for any of the other computers.
That was my metaphor for the American justice system. It might look like it was built for everybody, and that the millions of laws and policies we have here apply equally to every citizen, but I assure you, that's simply not the case. I wish that was true, but white men, even without money and power, never needed an emancipation proclamation or constitutional amendment just to make sure this country treated them with dignity and respect.
