I definitely get that energy, and I respect you being careful in how you use the language.
But in a country where 1 in 12 Black males has lost their voting rights due to a felony conviction, where Black men are more than twice as likely to go to prison for a non-violent marijuana conviction even though White folk smoke pot at the exact same rates, where Black folk live in police jurisdictions that are far more likely to hit them with bullshyt fines, are less able to pay them off, and far more likely to catch a warrant for outstanding fines, we HAVE to treat criminal justice issues as issues that the Black community wants addressed. I don't know where you from but where I lived you could see what that shyt was doing.
Asset forfeiture, the War on Drugs, mandatory minimums, the disfranchisement of men with felony convictions, those are ALL important issues to the community. You don't have to call them Black issues but it's bullshyt to not treat them as important.
Breh, multiple federal court decisions proved that the voter ID laws were EXPLICITLY racist.

They purposely allowed voters to use ID that White people tended to have more often, like Concealed Carry Cards. But they purposely blocked the use of ID that Black people tended to have more often, like government employee IDs, student IDs, and welfare IDs.
That's right, they allowed you to use a fukking concealed carry card but not you government employment ID.
Read that shyt again. They straight LOOKED for the racial data on Black folk when they were writing up the law. This shyt is documented.
Again, read that shyt. They OPENLY admitted that they were looked to block the kinds of voting that black folk used the most.
really.
