Driving While Black: Another Life Lost

R.I.P. Bianca Nikol Roberson (October 17, 1998 - June 27, 2017)

Are You Looking For Justice? Well, Here's The Drill...

1. Family and friends of the perpetrator will be interviewed so they can vouch for what a good person he is and thus, not capable of doing such a thing to gain sympathy. And, of course, the perpetrator will claim he was afraid of what Bianca might do to him and he feared for his life.

2. Bianca's family will say she was a good person, but no one will believe them because her past is being investigated (as they speak) so anything and everything she has ever done can be brought up to devalue her life and make it seem like she 'deserved' to be shot and killed.

3. A 'dog and pony show' trial with an all-white jury (or just one or two black people) will convene so it appears the wheels of justice are turning, for the sake of appearance. But, in reality, they're not turning because the jurors are usually (more times than not) racially biased.

4. The jury will find the perpetrator not guilty because Bianca did or said 'something' at the time of the altercation (or in her past) to bring the shooting on herself and cause her own death. And, God forbid, if she asserted herself in any way during the incident--which is considered perfectly normal if you're white, but not looked upon favorably if you're black.
