I’m not blaming you but the fact you both simultaneously are aware it could but it shouldnt is really racially ignorant and frustrating.If we make a law against, say, wearing one’s pants hanging low, would it seem to target Blacks?
It would because it’s a style adopted from prison. It was a way to signal people and became a way to indicate out of prison you were a convict. Since most people in prison are coloured it shouldnt be a suprise to you who it effects.
We do, a good example is the voter ID laws we already have in the US. Many poor people can be suckered into fines or post court costs. These costs can prohibit you from registering to vote and the ungodly run around to pay them.Do we now though?
This effectually blocks out people of poverty which are of a majority again people of colour from voting.
Grant you now, not by letter of the law because there is a way if however difficult but definitely by spirit. It becomes way more trouble than it’s worth.
