Policing one group more than another is how we got to this point in the first place. Past sins, past acts, do not justify discrimination, or selective policing

Policing one group more than another is how we got to this point in the first place. Past sins, past acts, do not justify discrimination, or selective policing in the future, it will only make the problem of disproportionate punishment worse. It's like Yelp putting a scarlet letter on black owned businesses thinking that will make things better, instead of identifying businesses for people to NOT visit. Separate but equal is over, why are we still debating this?

>why are we still debating this? It's cheaper to incite a race/sex/gender war than fight a class war against 300 million people.

  "oh look the peasants are ripping each other to shreds, how delightful! Jenkins! Fetch me my binoculars!" EDIT: Translation: Yes, it is quite obviously the rich that profit from the current "culture war" while the working class, regardless of their political views, are pulling the short straw.
