This has nothing to do with them being white people.

I wish that were true. But if RFK Jr had been from a poor black family, do you really think he'd be leading HHS? Do you think he'd be a free man, even? Or alive?

After all the shit he's done to himself - serial substance abuse, reckless engagement, multiple self-inflicted life threatening medical conditions, sexual assault of numerous young women - who honestly believes he wouldn't have gotten the Rodney King/Eric Garland treatment with any other surname or complexion?

Same with Trump. Ffs, Sean Combs is actually in jail right now. The parallels are undeniably. This is entirely about race.

Yeah, they are definitely only there cause they’re white men.
