Felicity Huffman Gets 14 Days In Federal Time Out!

Felicity Huffamn became a poster child of white privilege.
The federal judge sends disgraced actress Felicity Huffman to federal time out for a measly 14 days.

White justice folks.

As she is being sentenced to federal time out, the U.S. attorney who prosecuted against her said something that many in the Black community wanted to say.

"If a single mom from Akron who is actually trying to provide a better education for her kids should go to jail, there is no reason that a wealthy mother with the resources should not also go to jail," Eric Rosen said to U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani at the Friday sentencing.

Rosen also told the judge that the court-order community service was not an appropriate sentence for Huffman because it was not a punishment.

Rosen was referring to Kelley Williams-Bolar, an African American single mother from Ohio who was convicted of two felony crimes in January 2011 and jailed for nine days after she falsified documents so she could enroll her children into a higher-performing school district.

She was found guilty of records tampering. Former Ohio governor John Kasich commuted her sentence and reduced the convictions to misdemeanors.

Tanya McDowell was an unemployed and homeless woman from Bridgeport. She was accused of stealing $15,000 the cost of her son's school from the Norwalk School District.

The rich can buy a way out of the iron college.
Her son was kicked out of the school and she was charged with criminal intent. She spent five years in the iron college for this. She was close to getting 15 years in the iron college but was spared.

Huffman will head to the federal time out in October. She is ordered to pay $30,000 in fines and do at least 250 hours of community service..

Huffman comes right after Brooke Skyler Richardson. The Ohio woman was found not guilty of burying her newborn shortly after giving birth. The junk food media kept referring this woman as a "high school cheerleader" and glorified her profile.

This was another travesty of justice.

People of color are sentenced to the iron college for lengthy bids because of their backgrounds and the junk food media vilifies them. The court of public opinion is "guilty before proven innocence."

Many people of color call this an example of white privilege and white justice.
