The US is geared towards targeting those of colour. When an officer of the law provides more ammunition for those being oppressed to fear them; this creates more distrust of the system that harms them.
"For Black offenders, the results are once again limited to drug trafficking offenses and to
male offenders. The typical Black drug trafficker receives a sentence about ten percent longer than
a similar White drug trafficker. This translates into a sentence about seven months longer."

Those who deny the very nature of the US systematically oppressing those of colour are very unaware of this harsh reality. Those who are black are more likely to receive harsher sentences than those who are white. The American justice system is flawed. The US also has a very trigger happy police force, all one must do is compare the US police force to those in more stable countries. The issues within the US need to be addressed and altered pragmatically. Ignoring the problem will not resolve anything.
