This decision seems to underscore an unwritten rule that Black lives hold no value; that you may kill Black men in this country without consequences or repercussions.I don't, for even a minute, agree with that assertion. If it was ever true, it hasn't been true for several decades.
Do you suppose African-Americans believe that to be true? The evidence suggests most do not.
What would you do if you believed it were true of your ethnicity or race? If you believed your menfolk could be killed "without consequences or repercussions." Many members of your group would seek to move elsewhere to a place of safety. Maybe Europe, maybe Canada, or ???
We see next-to-no evidence of black Americans seeking to emigrate. Which suggests Rep. Fudge's assertion is not widely believed.
