It's when colonizers come to a country and use the indigenous people as labor. Creating laws supporting that endeavor. Creating laws to take land and resources away from them.
It's a slave trade, bringing people in from other continents for forced labor, then creating laws to sustain that.
When forced labor is abolished, laws are created to separate and deny rights to a certain group of people based on their race.
When you are no longer able to legally segregate or deny basic rights, A War on Drugs is created which affects poor drug users and low level drug dealers. While people bringing in the drugs rarely get prosecuted.
Then to exacerbate it, the CIA supports drug flow into communities and the government gives harsher prison sentences to those it funnels the drugs to.
When that wasn't enough, A crime bill is created. One that is said to address the awful crime in drug riddled neighborhoods. Only to send more poor people to jail.
To this day.
Stop and frisk.
Now, things come to light. Police have been summarily executing people since the inception of a U.S. police force. Cameras bring it to the public.
A right to bear arms, supposedly protected by the constitution, will get a person killed by the government even when they are not exercising that right. Just the suspicion meets death.
Systemic. Institutional. Death.
