To her it was just saying, "It's okay to eat a little chocolate even when it's not your cheat day," but for me it was the seed of the idea that the [[law]] does not always bring about [[justice]]. This seed developed into my dissatisfaction with the unfair systems, and systemic bias. - [[Transformative justice is the alternative to punitive justice]] - [[The way systems work can create cognitive bias]] - [[Colonization and slavery lead to generational disparities in black communities]] %% I wonder if mom's sense of justice came more from the fact that she was entitled and less from any sense of true [[justice]].
