"It's a systematic targeting of the minority communities. Just look at the percentages of blacks and latinos that make up the massive prison population! It's no accident."
I think some of that goes back to redlining and the way that the culture creators attempt to shape the culture. Also, if you're born black in America over the past so many decades, the most prominent examples of people shown on TV, generally tend to be sports stars and rappers. The sports stars emulate the hip-hop culture, and vice versa, creating a feedback loop.
The glowing box shows a very narrow path to "success." And if you want to make it in rap or hip hop, you have to bend to the will of the culture creators. This means rapping about money, drugs, violence, etc. There are lots of insidious forces at play. Including the fact that state assistance may only be offered to single mothers, this can encourage a fatherless environment and causes the state to become the daddy.
The various private prisons punish, they don't reform, they're designed to promote recidivism, so the private corporation can capitalize on slave labor. It's like exporting jobs (in-country) to people stripped of their rights to earn a fair wage. Civil Death. And it doesn't help that the schools are deforming the minds of children all across the board.
Police need reforming so that society is more liberty-oriented. Drug abuse should be treated as a medical problem. The control of public schooling needs to get pulled from the hands of the culture creators that are actively working to destroy minds.
