Yeah, and that isn’t even the racist part where they wouldn’t pay out brain damaged black players as much because they claimed that black players are naturally less intelligent and therefore had less capacity to lose than white players.

That only ended a few years ago because of lawsuits.

Systemic racism is a cancer in the US. Every single aspect of American society including healthcare, housing, education, to stupid things like tipping is the way it is because of racism.

I just cant process that it worked in court? If that makes sense

Not from the US so maybe I’m naive as to how “deep” this all goes
