Is Jim Crow Really A Thing Of The Past?

Is Jim Crow really in the past?  Or are the current policies being proposed an attack on our liberties and freedoms?  The NYS Governor wishes the legislature to pass a bill that will enable the collection of DNA for anyone convicted of a misdemeanor.  If passed, this will effectively give the police the authority to continue a pattern of racial profiling and harassment of of those whom are already disenfranchised and without political power.  Please take the time to read the petition which can be accessed through the link below, and sign the petition to ask the legislature not to approve the proposed bill that will take us down back down the path of Jim Crow.
