Where’s his deferred prosecution agreement? He’s black, are you out of your mind?

I am definitely seeking the counterpoints and the District Attorneys go out of their way to make that hard

Is this bait?

Not really... do you think that a black person is going to get the kid gloves from the criminal justice system?

I don't see why not?

Then... you’re probably not black in America.

How would being black change anything?

I’m totally out of the loop on this but curious to know Hayes’ views on racism, especially considering how likely it is that he holds libertarian views. It piques my interest because I’ve recently been hearing heterodox views from commentators like Kmele Foster and seeing split reactions from the left.

Plenty of non-white people are libertarian. It’s in the interest of mainstream political parties to say it’s only an ideology of straight white males as a way to dismiss it. But this simply isn’t true.
