If the courts insist on adjusting sentencing based on race, why not set up a Race Classification Board so that they could at least have some pretense of objectivity, however laughable?

“I am special”,in the race for Victim of the Moment.
My next band, the Yokels of Colonialism. Come suffer under us!
“The courts” are what two millennia (since the conviction of Christ) of lawyers’ incestuous birthing of “law” gave us. In this age of “world class” scams, justice ranks right up there.
