Most of America is transfixed by the Karmelo Anthony trial, but for many of us, it recalls a trial from many years earlier: the O.J. Simpson trial. Like this one, that was a racial headcount; all White people seemed to favor conviction, and all Black people wanted exoneration.
Living through that era of riots, it was easy to see how people do not exist within the Just World orbit where everyone tries to do what they think is logically right; people do what benefits them, which includes making their tribe stronger and beating down other tribes.
As a Black person, you would have to be insane to hope for conviction. That is one of your people up there, and if he gets off, the rules of other tribes get weakened and your power as a tribe increases.
In the same way, White people want to see what they have created endure and realize that actual justice (a unicorn in mist at best) must be maintained or we become another third world kleptocracy where who you know matters more than whether you killed someone.
But are the White people right? Their perspective relies on a disembodied absolute judgment that, while essential to making working institutions, presupposes ethnic uniformity and people who are dedicated to transcendental function via excellence, including institutions.
That does not exist except in the narrow bubble worlds of White people.
With the Karmelo Anthony trial, we see the total breakdown of the postwar order. The postwar order relied on the big assumption of the equality of reason of all people, which meant that any differentials were the result of evil Satanic “racism.”
This doctrine, called “disparate impact,” held that if Blacks — or any other minority — were not represented according to their demographic presence, the only acceptable conclusion was that evil Satanic “racism” had caused that difference.
So if you hired the best candidates, and ended up five short on the “Black” column, you were a racist and you got sued and had your business taken from you. This is the Communist order that ruled in postwar America and mostly rules to this day.
But now this has died. The Black jurors were struck because they admitted that they would never vote to convict Karmelo. The problem there is that this works around the Disparate Impact prohibitions; there is a reason other than “racism” why those jurors were struck.
And with that… we admit that democracy is demography, and Black jurors vote to exonerate Black defendants. This means that Karmelo gets an “unfair” trial that will certainly be repealed on appeal, but even more, that no one can get a fair trial.
If I, as a White guy, am the defendant… it is unfair to me if there are any Black or Hispanic (or other Other) jurors because they will vote for their tribe against mine. By the same token, though, it is unfair to them unless all jurors are from their tribes.
In other words, diversity has irretrievably broken down. You can have fair trials or diversity, but not both, and that is what the Karmelo Anthony trial has admitted to the world.
Another quantum step has been taken toward ending diversity in the West. We are now admitting that each group acts for itself, therefore there can be no fair inter-group interactions, which debunks the fundamental idea of diversity itself.
I feel for Karmelo. I, too, have been that angry especially as a teen. But he is going to jail for life without parole, and then the appeals court will dicker, but the Supreme Court is going to slam the door. Black jurors can be rejected for reasons other than being Black.
We are all seeing — being led with baby steps — that diversity can never work. It is not fair to anyone, no matter their race and ethnicity. And now, our court system will be paralyzed because diversity means no one gets a fair trial.
