OK - but do you want judicial sentencing to be EQUALIZED so that whites get the same bullshit life sentences for weed (exaggeration i know but you get my point) that whites do?
that is not the answer. "y'all" have a quasi slave state running in your prisons, lock em up and get em to perform menial labour for pennies.
i DO NOT believe that anti racism is strong enough a concept to fight against the human tendency to exploit others for profit.
the entire left IMO is paralyzed by trying to apply this anti racist heuristic to everything. its not something that can be abandoned - ultimately i am pessimistic for a reason only the far right would dare express - i dont think things will get much better for blacks until they are the majority. and if whites were the minority i dont think things would really get better for them until the pendulum swung back the other way.
equality is a problem here. we can all be equally screwed over by the system. i dont think its threatened by the call to stop using race as an excuse for oppression. i think its very comfortable talking about race, but never CLASS.
anyway, we are talking in circles here. i dont see how anti racist struggles have necessarily solved the problems that we've had for centuries. the problem is ingrained in modernity and its not going to be solved by any of the ideas that caused it.
when the demographics change, then we'll see what happens.
