Black Lives Matter...White Lives, not so much

Ethan Liming and the men who killed him.

America Since The Summer Of Floyd

Initially, this post was just going to be about the recently concluded trial concerning the killing of Ethan Liming (in front of Lebron James's I Promise School in Akron, Ohio), but a few other recent news items fit with the same pattern: since Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, black lives matter more, and white lives matter less in America. Let's look at the evidence behind that statement. 

After BLM, The S&P 100 Discriminated Against Whites

That sounds like a provocative statement, but there's really no other way to characterize the numbers Bloomberg just reported

Blacks make up approximately 13% of the U.S. population but 23% of new S&P 100 jobs went to black applicants in the year after the BLM riots. Meanwhile, only 6% of those new jobs went to whites, who make up about 56% of the U.S. population. 

The Criminal Justice System Is Biased In Favor Of Blacks

Another seemingly provocative statement, but again, it's supported by evidence. Consider the looting in Philadelphia yesterday. Looters act with impunity when they're confident they won't face serious consequences for it. 

And the reality is, they probably won't. Consider Jason Billingsley.

He was convicted of what the New York Post describes only as a "violent" crime in 2011 and sentenced to 30 years for it, but was let out after 7. He just beat a white woman to death in Baltimore--and as it happens, she was a BLM supporter. 

The Ethan Liming Case

If Billingsley gets caught, don't expect him to serve a lot of time for that killing. That seems to be the lesson of the Ethan Liming case. Ethan Liming was the white teen beaten to death in the parking lot of Lebron James's I Promise School in Akron, Ohio in June of last year. The verdict was just announced in that trial, and none of the perpetrators got any significant jail time, as the thread below explains. 

Why did this happen? Our institutions see people like Ethan as inherently worthy of punishment.

Prosecutors told Ethan's father in private that his race absolutely affected the case. And that, in their opinion, he received "hood justice".
