You are correct, and this could be the topic of another thread entirely: how the left defends those they see on the “bottom of society,” even when it is their OWN fault, calls them “oppressed” and then races in to defend and then protect them. Then, to make matters worse, if the “oppressed” has an altercation with a “non-oppressed,” the left makes excuses for it. I, for example, shudder even at the thought of being raped, G-d forbid, but if it happens, I hope it‘s by a white guy instead of a black. If it’s by a black, the left will be much more reluctant to convict.
I actually experienced this first-hand on jury duty 30 years ago: a black thug committed a crime against an older white woman, and it was proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The one hold-out was a liberal woman who kept saying the guy never knew his father, his mother was a drug addict, he grew up poor, etc. Every excuse in the book, and we ended in a hung jury.
One thing where we disagree: I wouldn’t put gays and transgenders in the same category as criminals, illegal aliens, etc.
