I agree! The critical difference, of course, being that if we lived in China we'd quite likely be imprisoned (or worse) for simply talking about this.

In contrast, as an American, I can lend out my copy of "The New Jim Crow" and rant and rave in public about how unjust the American justice system truly is, and never once fear punishment by my government. It's never once entered my mind.
