    This is such a precious yet tortured interpretation. We can all see that you are just stitching together little bits of rhetoric until it goes where you wanted to end up. You might be right, you might be wrong, but whatever you are, it’s a total fucking coincidence.

      This is a description of actual events that actually happened. Nothing in my comment is an interpretation of anything whatsoever.

      If you don’t believe War on Drugs laws like the Crime Bill were popular, that’s simply because you’ve done no research. The 1994 bill now seen as “racist” had 58% support in the minority community, a trend that continued for some time.

      The cool thing about democracy is people can look around and say “oh shit we fucked up.” All you have to do is change enough minds.
