And black people literally have fewer rights. The Supreme Court has ruled that in vaguely defined "high crime areas", cops can pretty much ignore much of the bill of rights. Guess what the interesection of "high crime area" and "where black people live" is?

I remember a huge case in maybe the 1980s or 1990s where a black judge ruled that running from police was NOT probable cause because it makes perfect sense for black people to run from police. Total firestorm. People hated it.

Well, now we are at the precipice of living in a fascist state, where justice, having been slowly eroded by custom and practice for decades, can finally be washed away entirely.

When MLK, Jr. said

an inustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere

this is exactly what he was fucking talking about.
