@Bohwe1@spaceexplore23 One drop was made because they wanted to gatekeep whiteness and justify the abuse and enslavement of mulattos this was common in the americas. It doesn’t translate to real life.
A white teen driver told his mother he thought he'd hit a deer—then found Ranesha Scyrus, a Black woman, in his truck bed.

DNA testing cleared him in 1994. North Carolina kept him in prison for ten more years anyway. Darryl Hunt.
He was 19 when he was convicted of a 1984 rape and murder. He had no connection to it. A key witness was a Klansman's former wife. Another was a hotel worker who later admitted she had been pressured.
In 1994, DNA excluded him completely. The courts responded that the DNA did not prove someone else had acted alone, and refused to release him.
He served another decade.
In 2003 the DNA was finally run through a database. It matched a man already in prison, who confessed within days.
Darryl Hunt walked out in 2004 after nineteen and a half years.
He spent the rest of his life working with other exonerated men and people coming out of prison. He died in 2016.
The system knew he was innocent for a full decade and made him serve it. That is not a mistake. A mistake ends when you find out.
DNA cleared Darryl Hunt. North Carolina still kept him in prison for another ten years.
That sentence alone tells you why these stories need to be remembered. Our book documents up to 150 cases of wrongful imprisonment, racial injustice, violence, and lives permanently altered by a system that failed to correct itself. https://t.co/V6OJtazidd
Two janitors found a girl's body at a Texas high school.
One was Black, one was white. An officer looked at both of them and said: one of you two is going to hang for this.
Then he turned to the Black man and said, you're the one — you're elected.
Clarence Brandley. Conroe, Texas, 1980.
He was convicted and sentenced to death. He came within days of execution twice.
It fell apart slowly: witnesses recanted, saying they had been pressured. Evidence had gone missing. A judge who reviewed the case wrote that in his entire career he had never seen a more shocking disregard for fundamental rights.
He was released in 1990 after nearly a decade on death row.
Texas never paid him. He fought for compensation for years and got a fraction of what the law allowed, late.
He died in 2018.
The officer told him he was elected. He was right — that was exactly how it worked, and the man said it out loud at the start
Clarence Brandley spent nearly a decade on death row because someone had already decided what his fate would be.
How many other cases began the same way? We dug through the record and documented up to 150 in a book. Get yours https://t.co/V6OJtazidd
@MagnuSupremacy@deep37937@M1L4GR03 Let me correct you it’s majority black , with the majority being Niger Congo group like Fula Soninke and Wolof alongside the Arabized Negro population Haratine people.
all these Asian and nonblack Latino men hurl the n-word & perform racial caricatures to demonstrate aggression bc they are racists who link racial blackness to violence, aggression, & caprice. It’s not flattery of the black man. It’s racism to prop up their masculine embodiment
