evidence: Each of the mothers say that far too frequently, they see just how differently their own children are treated versus their white counterparts. And while Rittenhouse's lawyers said the whole case was about self defense, these moms feel that, based on personal experience, race played a role in the final verdict. Their lack of surprise is also the result of other verdicts involving young Black victims, from Tamir Rice, to Travon Martin to Michael Brown. [...] Legal experts told NBC News that Rittenhouse taking the stand and crying during his testimony, in addition to his mother audibly crying in the audience during the trial, may have helped his lawyers win the case. After the verdict, Rittenhouse told Fox News' Tucker Carlson in an exclusive interview that he supports the Black Lives Matter movement and "is not a racist." [...] That's certainly what Suka Nasrallah, 31, wants for her three children, ages 8, 6, and 4. She said the Rittenhouse verdict made her feel sad for her children, who are a visible minority as Muslims living in Canada.
