"Racial disparities in the criminal justice system are no accident, but rather are rooted in a history of oppression and discriminatory decision making"
Some demographics are definitely more criminal, such as: the ultra-wealthy. ESPECIALLY them. Despite making up less than 14% of the planet's population, they are responsible for over 50% of all pollution!
That was only step 1. Step 2 was to pass laws targeting the minority you wanted to keep as an underclass, so that if they refused to sign a labor contract to work for their former owner for slave wages, they could be arrested for "vagrancy" and leased right back to them anyway as convict labor.
In other words, they didn't just enslave criminals; they manufactured criminals to enslave.
