Oh, the poor vs. the rich class warfare BS. I thought only progressives like Obama played that game?

When states legalized lotto, some black leaders went on radio and television and decried the decision saying that they had just worked their way up to taking over the numbers rackets from the Italians, it was their turn, and now the government was stepping in and taking away their rightful legacy.

When I first heard it I was horrified, but one can say that they do have a point after all.

When we legalize victimless crimes (I use the phrase as it is intended, there being no targeted victim) we embark on a course of unjust prosecutions, some of that injustice inevitably has to do with race, culture, class.

So, we regard it as our patriotic right as suburbanites to drink hard liquor in our backyards while we grill but we watch with approval as our police arrest blacks for drinking out of open bottles on their front stoops. Culture defines the crime.
