In an order issued today, U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria said that the hand-written notes of prosecutors from a 31-year-old murder case “constitute strong evidence that, in prior decades, prosecutors from the [Alameda County District Attorney’s] office were engaged in a pattern of serious misconduct, automatically excluding Jewish and African American jurors in death penalty cases.”

        It almost like you can fight the injustices your gender faces while recognizing the privilege that comes with your race.

          I was talking about race this entire time. Literally over and over again.

          I also don’t remember pretending that white women can do no wrong.

              I have not argued that at all. I know that’s what you want me to argue, but that’s different.
