Mark Hertzberg /Pool Photo via AP The left is having an exceedingly hard time with the outcome of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. From the moment the “not guilty” verdict was handed down, they have been caterwauling about how this proves white supremacy dominates the entire country.
One of the questions that arose during the trial, thanks to CNN’s legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin , was related to how this situation would have played out if Kyle Rittenhouse was black. Of course, the insinuation is that he would have been treated much more harshly. Hard leftists on Twitter also made this claim, arguing that a black Rittenhouse would not have been acquitted.
But, is this true?
After people began making this argument, others pointed to the case of a black man named Andrew Coffee IV who was found not guilty of allegations of murder and first-degree attempted murder, after it was established that he fired his weapon at SWAT team members in self-defense. Given the fact that this verdict was given in a case involving a man shooting at police officers, one can see the significance of this particular outcome.
There is also the case of rapper Da Baby, who was involved in a fatal shooting at a North Carolina Walmart in 2019. While he was arrested initially, the charges against him were dropped when it was established that he acted in self-defense.
But, it is still worth speculating as to how events would have proceeded had Rittenhouse been an African American in the same situation. It is not too hard to ascertain, given the predictability of the hard left and the state of America’s political discourse.
To put it simply, if Rittenhouse had been black, the reaction from the activist media and Democratic politicians would have been exactly the same. His race would have changed nothing. They would have cast him as a black white supremacist. CNN’s Don Lemon would be ranting about how even young black males can fall into white supremacy and commit dreadful acts against white progressives trying to attack them.
