What are you going tell us next black people go to prison at a much higher rate too?
Caping for a pedophile is a weird flex tho.

Are there any statistics to back your claim?

RICO laws started to take down teh Italian Mobs. And Since the 1980s, RICO laws were used alot for CACS who committed white collar crimes

In R kellys case they used the Mann Act which is indeed racist and hasnt been used in decages. It was used against Jack johnson the boxer back in the early 1900's cause he was smashing too many white women in different states.

I remember that when I watched the Jack Johnson documentary

Wow they used a law that was made and hasn't been used since like 1910?

I always said CACs made a law just to cock block black men. They were they mad at brehs PAWGin.

Thats why Wether you like kellz or not this case is ridiculous and he was railroaded. There is no real precedent for using rico in this way. 1 person with groupies for personal use cant be a criminal enterprise. He has a good chance at appeal because of this as well.

always felt giuliani and trump getting caught up on rico would be the sweetest justice

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

This nikka complains about everything



R.Kelly is NOT Nelson Mandela

 

[FrontoBama]

They’ve used it MUCH a more unfairly against Italians.

RICO is unconstitutional but not racist.

 

[Mowgli]

Prisons weren't made for cacs

It's interesting how cacs are the biggest dope fiends in America but they can't seem to crack these syndicates supplying them and run after the smallest players in the game for their quotas.
