Hahaha. Not sure if you're being sarcastic. If you are, then disregard the following.
In the event that you're being earnest, let's just ignore the racial disparity in arrests, sentencing, prison population and executions. That's what you want right? "Shhh if we don't acknowledge it it's not there."
It's one thing to quibble over whether the guy behind the McDonald's looked at you funny because of race, it's another thing to deny racism in the face of verifiable demographics, especially in a context where the very lives of those affected literally hang in the balance.
If your starting point is that we should ignore racism in the criminal justice system, or that it doesn't exist in the first place, then you are the type of person who either lies or refuses to acknowledge facts before your face and you really don't have anything meaningful to contribute to this conversation.
