Yes, because your clickbait version of the summary made it sound like it was about race and not looking specifically at this person’s history and trauma and accounting for that in the sentencing.
When a broken society victimizes individuals, and they grow up broken and perpetuate that, punishing them harder doesn’t fix anything.

He literally just said that she is “more likely” to have trauma or whatever because of her race. He doesn’t even seem interested in something that did or didnt happen to her personally. These are just a few magic words that justify his very plain racism.

No, he literally didn’t just say that. He went on to say: “ The information I have confirms that she has experienced incredible trauma in her life, which is not her fault,”
Which was included in the short bit I copied earlier, and you just glossed over. Stop looking only at the parts that confirm the lies that you have been told.
