Mass incarceration: racism or classism?

[Pericles]

This is an example of the classic problem we see on some parts of the left where problems are either an issue of race or class and you have to care about either racism or classism. The fact of the matter is, both racism and classism are real and pressing problems, both feed into one another, and both need to be addressed, people would be poorly served if only racism or only classism were addressed.
