Let's be honest, they're the same thing, we just aren't able to to anything about it because the beneficiaries are the ones in power.

The laws clearly state it's not bribery. Just how it's not insider trading if Congress Persons act on information they received in the line of work.

Segregation was legal and called "separate but equal." Unjust and incorrect laws have existed.

People tend to assume laws are right, fair, just, and moral. They're not. People also assume right equals fair equals just equals moral. Again, they're not.

There may or may not be overlap on many of these but there's never a 1:1 relationship between any of them.
