Yeah, that certainly sounds like an issue of race and not of class. I guess in racially homogenous societies wealthy people don’t get any preferential treatment

- exogeny 5y agoThey're inexorably linked in this country. That shouldn't even need to be pointed out.

- ss108 5y agoI agree that a lot (though not all) of the issues people want to pin on race are really just about class, but would you deny that there is at least a correlation between race and class? Or that law enforcement has a bad racism problem? To be clear, I don't think most cops are racist or bad (in our current culturo-political moment, I probably err on the more pro-cop side), but it's certainly a problem that hasn't been given any real thought or attention by most police departments.
