That would be like saying that treating far more sickle cell anemia cases among black people [who in fact are afflicted with that condition then other races in far greater numbers than any other race] makes treating more blacks with that ailment a racist thing to do.
You seem to be working under the misapprehension that for a policy to have a racist or biased background or overtones, it needs to explicitly state that it applies only to a given race, and that it is enforced exclusively against members of a given race.
If you want to discuss this mess with me, please read what I say, and naot twist it all out of shape. I DID NOT say anything that could possibly be construed as meaning anything close to that nonsense.
Neither is true,....
At least that makes sense.
... and Jim Crow laws aren't acceptable today just because they get enforced against some white folks now too.
No, honest to God, I an not that damned dumb, even if you think I am. I became aware of their unconscionability many years before I finished High School in Virginia; and way long before I took to court my first case against the bigotry and racism of those extremely cruel laws. In fact I was fighting against that asinine cruelty probably before you were even a gleam in your daddy's eye.

zzzzzzzznow, if you cannot understand that simple fcrt, please don't waste any more of my time or yours regurgitating your appleps v. oranges business.
I didn’t think you would get it.
If you don't have enough of a command of the English language to explain what in the hell you are talking about, just buzz off and leave me alone.
In the early days of our republic, no one but slaves or indians were unconstitutionally prohibited from carrying arms.
The 14th tried to make it clear that fed/state/local 'laws' on keeping/bearing could not be enforced without due process of [constitutional] law..
Needless to say, that principle is being ignored..
It's racist as most of the folks who can only afford inexpensive handguns are the poor. Ask any lib and they'll tell you that the poor are predominately black.
