should whites be taxed for being white?

Tulsa race riots: started because of an alleged claim, the same type of stuff that killed emmett till. 6,000 black residents, most of which weren't doing anything, were arrested after the riot happened, with almost no whites arrested, despite the fact that the whites started the race riot.
Modern day: black people are disproportionately suspected of crimes, with almost 30% of crimes having black people held responsible or charged. i've made this same argument before that minorities are investigated more often than white people, which means they're being overrepresented. if you are charged with a felony, wrongly convicted or otherwise, you are no longer allowed to vote. This is disenfranchisement that 13 talks about.'
both are loving racially motivated to some certain extent, which is why they're both relevant. just because something happens 100 years ago doesn't mean it has nothing to do with what's happening now. The holocaust happened 60 years ago and its still relevant because various neo-national socialist and anti-semetic groups still exist and are vocal
someone else help me out, i dont have the time to make this same argument for the 10th time

Those were the 20s back almost 50years before any race movements were mainstream. Of course no white people were arrested??

This logic does not even work
There are still people that fly the confederate flag but that doesn't mean the Civil War is relevant or related at all. Same thing with people's views today and what's happening. Neither the Holocaust or the Tulsa Race Riots are legitimately relevant in today's society, so idk why you are pretending otherwise.

And now you see the same loving stuff happening again, black people being overrepresented in crime statistics, being monitored more, causing stress on neighborhoods which leads to more crime, families being broken apart, jobs being lost, and in the end the right to voting being lost. It's essentially a repeat of the jim crow era voting laws except it's hidden under a veil of "oh its not tribal! they're just criminals"
Back in the 40s and 50s, the military used to discharge people who were deemed 'mentally insane.' They didn't directly say 'you can't serve if you're homoloveual' but instead they said 'you can't serve if you're mentally insane' and as a loophole they added homoloveuality into the ICD and then they were allowed to discharge homoloveuals from the military. From the outside, they weren't homophobic, they didn't make any laws discriminating against homoloveuals. However, on the inside, the laws were carefully put in place to put homoloveuality down as a mental condition in order to discharge them.
What relevance does this bear to the race and prison industrial complex? Well, it's the same game they're playing. They don't make laws that say "you can't vote if you're black" they just say "you can't vote if you're a criminal" and then go on to overrepresent and falsely charge thousands of black people, ruining their lives and families, depriving them of their right to vote & breeding even more criminal activity in that exact area.

The confederate flag has everything to do with the loving civil war. The civil war is almost still relevant today considering how polarized the two sides of politics are.
