Not Letting Them Victimize You is Racist

The state lawmakers who backed the Anti-Racism Sentencing Reform Act claim the existing law, which allows prosecutors to seek additional time behind bars, is racist — 89% of the roughly 40,000 inmates serving gun enhancement sentences in California are people of color, according to figures from Restore Justice.

So the answer is to give them a pass and expedite putting them back "on the streets"?

"Not Letting Them Victimize You Is Racist"

I am, through no fault of my own, a white male, and therefore a racist from the moment of my birth, according to some.

Given that a while male daring to draw breath is a racist act, again according to some, I've got no reason to behave as they wish. I've literally got nothing to lose.

Perhaps they should have spent some time thinking that through.
