And what, by overwhelming majority, is the race of the wealthy class of America?

What difference does that make to millions of the same race who are living in poverty?

I don't understand your question. OP was implying the justice system is classist and classist only.

This is false. It's both classist and racist. 9/10 times a poor black man will get a harsher sentence than a poor white man. Both will get harsher punishments than a rich man. Ergo, the justice system is both classist and racist.
