I’m waiting for jury duty and they’ve got a slideshow going where they’re displaying all these quotes from founding fathers about trial by jury and I’m starting to suspect they’re doing ones from slave owners specifically.

A screen reading "representative government and trial by jury are the heart and lungs of liberty - James Madison" ALT

Like, cool quote and all, but I’m not sure I want to listen to the thoughts on liberty from a guy who owned over a hundred slaves.

significantly less important than the hypocrisy of the founding fathers. but is that a projector screen that also has overhead lighting DIRECTLY in front of it?

Look, here in Alameda County we belive in two things:

1. Inspirational quotes from slavers

2. Contrast is for pussies
