I suggest you just look up a little bit of black history and you’ll be informed on some of this. I really hate having to bring up my background and race, but I really have to here: I’m literally a black man who grew up in inner city America who also used to be a leftist activist years ago (one of my primary focuses used to be “police brutality”). This is absolutely not a foreign topic to me. I’ve personally had a number of bad encounters with the police going back all the way to my pre-teen years. I find it interesting that you simply assumed, based on my perspective, that I’m somehow just oblivious. Regardless, none of that changes anything I’ve said. Also, your claim that a certain segment of Americans, such as poor black folks, have “no access to constitutional rights” is simply false. A more reasonable argument would be that a certain segment of Americans lack the resources to properly defend their Constitutional rights, but those rights haven’t gone anywhere.
