> 86% of our victims in these untested kits are people of color. You're not going to find too many blond-haired, blue eyed white women ... Because their kits are treated differently, their cases are solved. That's just the way it is in this country. If you're a person of color, if you're a different economic class, then your case across the board, across the board, not just sexual assault — they're treated differently. And that's just the truth. People may not want to admit it, but I've seen it throughout my career and I know it's true
Wow.
- MadAnthonyWayne 9y agoFYI the Demographics of the city of Detroit is roughly 86% black, to put it in perspective, it's not out of the statistical norm of the city's population
- Avshalom 9y agoWayne County is only 40% and this goes back as far as '84 when Detroit City was less than 75%
- MadAnthonyWayne 9y agoDoes not matter what percentage of the county is black, what matters is what percentage of the population is where the rapes occurred, these rapes weren't all happening in the Pointes, Northville, Livonia, etc. The majority of these kits are from a period of time where the Demographics were over 80% black in the city.
