Cash Spencer was on a non-unanimous jury in Oregon. A practice rooted in racism. She voted “not guilty,” but her voice was silenced & the man was convicted. The Supreme Court recently held this practice is unconstitutional. But people are still in prison.
Just compare the visions and the words. Biden's Administration is open hearted. He wants everyone to succeed. They embrace multiculturalism and kindness. Trump's Administration was cruel, stingy, angry, fearful and only for a few Americans. No both sides here.

But understanding and knowing their existence really makes life in the 21st century so much easier.
