"Sistem berfungsi relatif secara otomatis, dan sistem yang berlaku tentang makna rasial, identitas, dan ideologi sudah tampak alami.

Ninety percent of those admitted to prison for drug offenses in many states were Black or Latino, yet the mass incarceration of communities of color was explained in race-neutral terms, an adaptation to the needs and demands of the current political climate.
