4. Haven't we and the populist group been saying this a while?

I don't want to minimize the racism though. Yes, that is a control tactic. But there is no doubt that it is also due to racism. A deep seeded, centuries old, plain old racism. Young black men are targeted for killing and long term incarceration because they've been able to consistently and constantly get away with it by using racism.

After all, who cares if another thug, gangsta, n*g*er is gone?
