Kevin Baily -- wrongfully convicted in 1991.
Joseph Lamont Abbitt -- wrongfully convicted in 1995.
Jonathan Barr... 1997, Richard Alexander... 1998, David Ayers... 2000, William D. Avery... 2005, etc.

These are just the A's and very beginning of B's from a single non-profit that helps exonerate innocent people.

I'm sure there's a YouTube video out there that covers this.


President Trump's favorite wrongful conviction was the central park 5. They got 5 black guys for one crime. That was a highly efficient wrongful conviction. Trump's still pissed off that they were exonerated.

Ahhh... you can always rely on ajax to show up in threads like this and remind us how racism is equivalent to stupidity.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Reputations are not always fabricated by those who stereotype. In fact that rarely are. All stereotypes exist for a reason. Nobody has a problem stereotyping and discriminating against a white person from West Virginia. It's only when you do this with protected minorities of the Democratic voting constituency that it becomes morally wrong.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

If people reading your posts concluded that white people in general are morons, the fault wouldn’t be with whites. It wouldn’t even be with you. It would be with the people making an inappropriate generalization.

You shouldn't confuse Leftist LYING about seeing Racism everywhere, the President and half the country who voted for him for example, with ACTUAL Racism.

For example, this started with Obama.
Didn't like Obama's Leftism, Socialism, etc. etc. you were Racist.

Don't like the huge abuse of our Immigration system with Illegal Immigration,
- causing innocent peoples deaths, including legal and illegal immigrants, not just citizens,
- as well as their rapes and sexual assaults (1/3 for example of illegal immigrant women)
- taking jobs America's poor and lower classes would take no matter the race (including myself at one point, even though being a hard worker, and experienced as a Dishwasher etc. the jobs being taken by Mexicans instead, likely illegals,) for example, blacks, causing them to more turn to crime instead
- Identity theft.
- Taking Services from Welfare, to Healthcare, to Education all being burden with the massive illegal immigration
on and on...

Believe these things, which have ZERO to do with Racism, and you Leftists falsely accuse us of being Racist.
Guess what... We would have the SAME problem with it and would want a Wall to stop the problem if it was occurring on the Northern Border, where most are white.

A person is not a "racist" because they have a door to their home, or a fence/wall around their property. A home is the Micro of a Country which is the Macro.
SAME **** VALUES...! Leftists however break those values because they are collectivists, want everyone but themselves to pay for them "feeling" good giving people whatever they want, not to mention the votes. We know this for sure because Leftists don't want Immigration from areas of the world in which the people would likely be conservative, be it Christians, be it those oppressed in Socialist/Communist nations, etc. who would again likely not be Leftists (or just white, again, might likely be conservative).

Anyway, it's not happening, you're just claiming it's happening, as if that makes the truth.
Some other reasons we know this.
1. Most "bigotry" attacks, swatikas etc. etc. have turned out to be False Hate Crimes (http://www.fakehatecrimes.org)
2. The 2nd years "Unite the Right" rally had like 12 White Supremicists/Nationalists. Thus, the first year there were clearly tons of INNOCENT people who were just there trying to protect history due to the Statue situation at the time/area and others who didn't know it was being put on by bigot wankers.
3. Another reason I know "racism" isn't on the rise is because 99.9% of Leftists claims of "Racism" isn't racism at all...
I mean, you lot are so obsessed with this false claim, that during the Kavanaugh crap show your Leftist Media personally were going on over and over again about "old white males"... "white men", over and over again. Tell how how that hearing had ANYTHING to do with Racism? That crap shows clearly that Leftists are the racists, even against themselves when it was majority white Leftists saying that.
