It may well be true that the practice of convicting people of murder by labeling them as gangsters because they are friends with a murderer is applied most often to blacks. Perhaps the decision to apply the practice is made in a biased manner.

But the crucial problem with this practice is that it is fundamentally not a valid way to determine that certain people are a gang. It is only an unreliable heuristic. Each time it is applied, whatever the demographics of those it is applied to, it is likely to result in a miscarriage of justice. We need not ask what race they are to condemn the practice.

If the practice were valid, thugs could nonetheless apply it based on racist criteria. Many thugs are racist and they often do that. But that is a different kind of issue.
