People are told that the law is an “objective” thing, almost like it’s a form of physics. But it’s not: the law is a collection of subjective decisions we—well, white people—have made over the years to protect people and activities they like, and to punish people and activities they don’t like. The law can be applied objectively, though it isn’t most of the time. But the notion that the law is a mathematical equation that can be fed into a supercomputer to produce “justice” is a total fallacy.
