The law is only our best approximation of justice, and the law needs constant revision.

If you don't know about the 'black male code,' you should. It's something black boys learn early, even before adolescence. It goes, in part, like this: Even though you're not a criminal, some people assume you are, especially if you're wearing certain clothes. Never argue with the police, but protect your dignity and take pride in humility.

While the law cannot force a person to be moral or tolerant, through the law we can demand respect and expect equality.
