‘Law & Order’ Cite Racial Inequalities Upsets Conservatives

Conservatives are speaking out against a recent “Law & Order” episode that cites the systemic racial inequalities within the American justice system.

The “Truth Embargo” episode of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” aired on Thursday, January 25, followed the fictional case of a white woman (played by Romina D’Ugo) who was sexually assaulted inside a clothing store by a Black man she’s hesitant to name as her accuser due to the racial inequalities within the US justice system.

“She’s inconsolable,” the character’s partner tells detectives, as cited by Newsweek. “We’re acutely aware of the systemic inequities that exist within the criminal justice system.”

“Well, I can’t deny that there’s a history of racial bias,” Mariska Hagitay’s character Olivia Benson says in response. “It’s certainly not a perfect system.”

While the episode tried its best to tackle the important issue, many conservatives weren’t in support of the show’s efforts.

“Apparently, even if you get r*ped, you shouldn’t seek justice if you are white. Amazing,” one user who posted a clip from the show wrote.

The viewer posted another clip showing the Black attacker, played by Mykey Cooper, admitting to the sexual assault and explaining why he committed the gruesome crime. But to the conservative viewer, the show allowed the Black teen to “play the victim card.”
