This post and comment section proves how cooked we are. Does anyone understand nuance anymore? It’s not always black and white. People with money and power are obviously going to be able to escape consequences easily. The average person will have a much harder time dealing with allegations. Besides, false allegations for ANYTHING are obviously bad, regardless of how likely they are to impact the accused.
white woman tears is a serious issue, however false accusations still do not ruin people’s lives when they handle it properly & take it to court. you can advocate for more resources for people dealing with false accusations while also understanding that it isn’t just powerful white men who get away with it.
I'll admit I misworded it. I meant that it should be safer for many people when they take a false accusation to court, especially when they know they have a solid alibi or defense. black people are also much more likely to be harassed & even assaulted while a false accusation goes around, so resources & advocacy are even more important for minorities.
