      Oh no… Class divide is whether it happened at all or gets swept under the rug… Race divide is how harsh the sentence is, but no one’s making anything disappear

        What difference does that make to millions of the same race who are living in poverty?

          I don’t understand your question. OP was implying the justice system is classist and classist only.

          This is false. It’s both classist and racist. 9/10 times a poor black man will get a harsher sentence than a poor white man. Both will get harsher punishments than a rich man. Ergo, the justice system is both classist and racist.

            Jeez it only took one comment to go from “hello, fellow leftists” to “DER SICH ALS TRÄGER SEINES BESTEN BLUTES FÜHLEND. UND DIESES WISSEND ZUR FÜHRUNG DER NATION ERHOBEN HAT UND ENTSCHLOSSEN IST. DIESE FÜHRUNG ZU BEHALTEN, WAHRZUNEHMEN UND NICHT MEHR ABZUGEBEN.”
