Rachel S talks about the racial dimensions of white crime. I agree. The white kids who sold each other drugs in my AP English class weren't 'drug dealers', they were innocent kids. Like making what blacks do a crime, and letting whites off serves the system of white supremacy well.
I'd like to link to this post to urge solidarity with the immigrants, especially for us native born people of color. We need to get fair wages and employment for everyone, and fighting amongst ourselves won't help at all. It's the employers using racial stereotypes that are keeping black men out of a job- the immigrants that are being exploited by these same employers are simply a scapegoat.
