'Sad and angry and frustrated': Black moms on the Rittenhouse verdict Many parents of color see the not guilty verdicts as just one example of what their children face every day. Last week a 12-person jury acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse of all charges related to his shooting and killing two people and injuring a third during a Black Lives Matter protest in the summer of 2020. Rittenhouse argued that his actions were self-defense. After deliberating for four days, the jury agreed. Many expressed genuine shock about the verdict on social media, posting tweets detailing their surprise. But for Black mothers and other parents of color who spoke to "TODAY" Parents, the verdict was no surprise at all. Each of the mothers say that far too frequently, they see just how differently their own children are treated compared to their white counterparts. And while Rittenhouse’s lawyers said the case was about self-defense, these moms say that, based on their experiences, race played a role. Their lack of surprise is also the result of other verdicts involving young Black victims, from Tamir Rice to Trayvon Martin to Michael Brown. “Surprisingly, I felt really sad and angry and frustrated,” said Jehava Brown, 37, a mother of three boys living in Pennsylvania. “And when I say ‘surprisingly,’ it’s because it was very much expected.” Legal experts said Rittenhouse’s taking the stand and crying during his testimony, in addition to his mother’s audibly crying in the gallery during the trial, may have helped his lawyers win the case. After the verdict, Rittenhouse told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson that he supports the Black Lives Matter movement and “is not a racist.” “He was 17 at the time of the offense,” said Steven Wright, a law professor at the University of Wisconsin. “Having someone who looks like a child there might make some jurors see their younger selves in him or their children in him, and they might think, ‘What would my younger self have done or my son or daughter have done in his position?’” The parents who spoke to “TODAY” wonder when their tears and the tears of their children will ever have the same impact. “They don’t care about Black mom tears,” said T’Chani Hill, a California mom who is raising two daughters. “Black moms deal with a lot, and we have to compartmentalize in order to put smiles on our faces and move forward,” Brown said. “Because either people don’t get it or they think it’s ‘too heavy’ or it’s ‘too frustrating’ or it’s ‘too much of a debate.’” Brown said the verdict is a microcosm of what her children face in school, on playgrounds and in public; these experiences exemplify the ways Black children are seen as innately threatening, while white children are viewed as innately innocent. Her children have started to notice in school that, "depending how they dress, their teachers will treat them differently,” Brown said. “If a Black kid is reprimanded unjustly, the reaction is: ‘Well, we don’t know the whole story. It can’t just be what we saw.’ It’s automatic to justify the reasons behind a harsh punishment for a Black kid, while white kids get the benefit of the doubt. And people are less likely to speak up for Black kids because they think maybe they did something to provoke the situation.” Hill, 52, said she sees the system at work when she watches how her two children are treated differently based solely on their skin tone. “I have two beautiful daughters, and one looks white, and she is treated differently. People don’t realize that I’m her mom until she clarifies it,” Hill said. “My other daughter is ... dark ... and I have watched my own children be treated differently, whether it’s at a park or at school, because they’re completely different shades.” Hill said that when she enters a store with her two daughters, people will watch and even follow her and her older daughter, but “no one pays attention” to her younger daughter, who presents as white. “So am I surprised by the verdict? No,” she said. “As a Black person in this country, I am not surprised. And as a Black parent, I worry about my children’s safety.” A study published this year by Elsevier in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry found that Black students ages 9 and 10 are 3.5 times more likely to be suspended or put in detention than their white peers are. In another study, conducted by researchers at the Yale University Child Study Center in 2016, scientists fit 132 early education teachers with eye trackers and asked them to watch clips of four children — a Black girl, a Black boy, a white girl and a white boy — and to look for misbehaviors. None of the children actually misbehaved, but the eye trackers found that the teachers spent more time watching the Black boy. “I go to Black and brown schools and find that there’s a perception that these kids have the potential to do something wrong — a potential of violence, a potential of wrongness, the potential to lie,” said Christoper Emdin, the associate director of the Institute of Urban Minority Education at Columbia University. “It’s the belief that the worst is expected of them and they’re treated accordingly.” Emdin said he sees a different situation at play in predominantly white schools. “When I go into white schools there is a freedom — a freedom to question, the freedom to express, the freedom to emote, the freedom to be frustrated and to be angry and not be perceived inherently bad because of that,” said Emdin, the author of the book “Ratchetdemic: Reimagining Academic Success.” Thomishia Booker, 37, a mom of two kids ages 5 and 20 months, said her older child was only 2 when a day care worker treated him differently from his peers. “The teacher was concerned about him making Legos,” Booker said. The teacher said her son "was building a gun,” and “I asked her how she knew, and she said because my son was making an ‘L’ shape and shooting sounds — ‘pew pew pew.’ She made an assumption about the limitation of his creativity, and an assumption about what he was making, which had to be a gun.” lược dịch: Nhiều bậc cha mẹ da màu coi bản án Rittenhouse là một ví dụ về những gì con họ phải đối mặt hàng ngày. Tuần trước, bồi thẩm đoàn gồm 12 người tuyên bố trắng án cho Kyle Rittenhouse và xóa bỏ mọi cáo buộc liên quan đến việc anh ta bắn chết hai người và làm bị thương một người thứ ba trong cuộc biểu tình Black Lives Matter vào mùa hè năm 2020. Rittenhouse cho rằng hành động của mình hành động tự vệ. Nhiều người nói rằng thực sự sốc khi biết phán quyết và đăng tải lên trên mạng xã hội, đăng các dòng tweet kể sự ngạc nhiên của họ. Nhưng đối với các bà mẹ da đen và các bậc cha mẹ da màu khác đã nói chuyện với mục "Today", phán quyết này không có gì ngạc nhiên cả. Các bà mẹ da màu nói rằng điều này đã diễn ra quá đỗi bình thường, họ thấy con mình bị đối xử khác biệt như thế nào so với những đứa trẻ da trắng. Và trong khi luật sư của Rittenhouse nói rằng vụ kiện này là về quyền tự vệ, thì những bà mẹ nói rằng, dựa trên kinh nghiệm của họ- chủng tộc đóng một vai trò rất quan trọng. Họ cũng không bất ngờ, vì họ đã nhìn thấy các vụ án khác liên quan các nạn nhân da đen trẻ, từ Tamir Rice đến Trayvon Martin cho đến Michael Brown, họ đã thấy những vụ này diễn ra như thế nào (Tamir và Micheal bị bắn chết bởi cảnh sát da trắng). Jehava Brown, 37 tuổi, một bà mẹ của ba cậu con trai sống ở Pennsylvania, cho biết: “Bất ngờ ư? Tôi thấy thực sự buồn, tức giận và thất vọng". Một số chuyên gia cho biết việc Rittenhouse đứng lên và khóc trong phiên tòa của mình, và việc mẹ anh ta cũng khóc trong phiên tòa có thể đã giúp luật sư của anh ta thắng kiện. Sau phán quyết, Rittenhouse nói với đài Fox News rằng anh ta ủng hộ phong trào Black Lives Matter và “ không phải là người phân biệt chủng tộc ”. Các cha mẹ da màu trò chuyện với mục "TODAY", tự hỏi khi nào nước mắt của họ và nước mắt của con cái họ sẽ có tác động tương tự. T’Chani Hill, một bà mẹ California đang nuôi hai cô con gái cho biết: “Họ không quan tâm đến những giọt nước mắt của những người mẹ da đen." link:https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/sad-angry-frustrated-black-moms-rittenhouse-verdict-rcna6604 plot twist: vụ án này nạn nhân và hung thủ đều da trắng, nhưng báo chí dâm chủ lại nói lỗi là quan toà không quan tâm da đen????????????
Chắc do bọn trắng đứng cùng phía BLM -> Xử ku này win = xâm phạm BLM Còn bọn đen ko ủng hộ trộm cướp loot thì bị kì thị là white wannabe
Nhưng liên can gì đến da đen khi hung thủ nạn nhân đều da trắng, và cuộc xét xử toà án có nói gì về da đen???
Mấy bài lều báo này ăn theo thôi. Càng nhiều ng quan tâm thì càng gây chia rẽ sắc tộc. Là ng thân của vài trường hợp da đen chết oan thì cũng cay. Nói chung là tha rác cl.
