As I said, there’s bias in the system, but for now you’re not put in prison just for being black. There’s an attempt at legitimacy. Acab, driving while black, stop and frisk, etc, not only the war on drugs… but there’s still a big gap to “go to jail for being Muslim and since you have two kids we’re sterilizing you”.
About homelessness being a crime, doesn’t surprise me in the least. My mind was blown when I learned “loitering” is a legal term. It is illegal to “be somewhere”, even if are not homeless. However you keep your kidneys in the morning, so… yay?

Don’t forget it’s a crime to be homeless now. Look forward to that.
