The lawyers allege that, quote, no white person has ever been the target of a remotely similar prosecution, pointing out former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's case where escorts were charged, but he was not. Now, Diddy claims that he's being singled out because of his race and being, quote, prosecuted for conduct that regularly goes unpunished because he is a powerful black man.

Diddy has always, and it's important to say, vehemently denied all the allegations he's faced and he's pleaded not guilty after charges were initially filed.

And they're claiming that because he's a powerful black man, that he's being targeted for that charge. And I was wondering what your thoughts were on that.
