Formal rejection of racial profiling leaves racialized incarceration rates untouched
Evidence
Clearly, this executive order on racial proļ¬ling makes explicit in Americaās global designs what it now extends locally only through sublimation and implication. Doing unto others as you would continue to do unto yourself. The executive order will have no diminishing effect on the racially driven rates of incarceration in America where people of color, totaling a third of the general population, make up more than three-quarters of the spiraling prison population. Racially driven incarceration, in fact, is a cornerstone of the logic of born again segregative racism, of warehousing the poor and managing the unassimilated heterogeny. ā David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 466

- ADDENDUM: Supports a follow-up to āOn Sacrificeā/āGraftingā-style essays by showing how formally pro-equality policy coexists with structurally opposite outcomes ā a systemic hypocrisy mechanism.
