    US Senate: specifically designed to give slave states more power. Still not proportional today, still disempowers Black voters who live in more populous states

    Electoral college: specifically designed to give slave states more power. Still in place today, still disenpowers Black voters in more populated areas

    Washington DC: no senators, no congress representatives, tons of Black citizens

    Qualified Immunity: free pass for police to kill Black people

    Felon voting exclusions: more Black people are imprisoned than white people and are barred from voting at all.

    That’s just from memory. There are so many more, but I’m a white guy so I’m ignorant of most of them.

    There is a documented institutional conspiracy against Black people and it’s right out there in the open.
