Our criminal justice system has historically been indifferent or downright hostile to the fates of black men. When I was five years old, I watched two beefy white police officers beat a black teenager to unconsciousness.

My wife, who grew up in a small town in Nevada, tells stories of how the sheriff would shoot drifters and hitchhikers (usually white, some hispanic) and dump their bodies in mine shafts. I guess by her perspective this means that "our criminal justice system has historically been indifferent or downright hostile to the fates of white men."

I live in Nevada. What small town did she live in? There are many here.
