These laws are no more inherently racial than "gentrification". In both cases they only affect black people disproportionally because (quoting from the video) "black people have less money"

Actually, he said that "minorities make less money" in the video. That seems like a racist statement, as he chose to ignore an important minority group, asians.

Why downvote this one? I corrected the misquote and pointed out how the speaker in the video chose to ignore asians to misconstrue his issue as being about minorities in a racist way. If the video had featured a white person whispering something disparaging (and false) about minorities would you feel the same way?
