"...Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act didn’t require the state to play racial bean-counter..."
for whatever reason, this one phrase really caught my attention. As long as the government is playing "racial bean counter", as long as they continue to collect racial metrics, the government will continue to perpetuate racism. I know this is a problem that can't disappear overnight. Even if every government program stopped requesting, storing, counting racial metrics, and the media stopped their racially slanted reporting on race and playing their mind games the way they do, it would still take at least 2-3 generations to get out from under the race mentality skewed mindset a lot of the country has.
What he's really mad about is that government statistics show that pesky 13/52 thing. If they'd just drop the "race" column from their crime data, we wouldn't be able to notice that pattern. He envisions a future generation that has no way to prove that one race commits more crime than another. "Mazel tov!" He must be thinking, "that would be shutting it down on a whole new level!"

But hispanics in jail are actually white!
