I was more talking about how the American justice system is legal slavery. By being the primary cause of incarcerating people, Haris is a slaver.

No she isn't a slaver, that argument never works when used against one of us. And it's not an argument any decent liberal or progressive would use.

primary cause of incarcerating people is people committing crime.

ffs. The USA has a long standing history of creating bs laws to incarcerate people. Do you seriously believe it is reasonable for someone to get 20 years in prison for a few flecks of weed. That also doesn't cover the police's long standing tradition of making up shit. Also also legality =/= morality

i don't.

where is this happening? and was harris prosecuting in place where this is happening? and why did you chose her as the "primary reason"? why not the arresting officers or judge? and why not the stupid decision to carry a weed when it is punishable by 20 years in prison?

That also doesn’t cover the police’s long standing tradition of making up shit.

and how is that the prosecutor's fault?

Also also legality =/= morality

yeah... and?

you are just cherry-picking random unconnected trivia that doesn't even support your conclusion.

Wow, just look at all these unconnected facts that are said to contribute to systemic racism. Yup, totally unconnected.
