      Arrests more innocent black or darker skinned people is what I meant.

      I’m not overusing the term, you’re conflating two types of racism, and need to understand the context in order to understand what others are speaking about. If you just assume everyone is talking about overt racism all the time, you’re going to jump to the wrong conclusions and probably think people are being dramatic or ridiculous half the time.

          No, you’re misunderstanding me. A dark skinned person is more likely to be arrested due to being misidentified than a white person. Not that a black parson is being arrested for a crime a white person conducted or vice versa.

          That headline would be the wrong takeaway. It’s more important not to punish an innocent person than it is to punish a criminal. It’s how the Justice system works. The emphasis should always be on the victim.
