Who suffers from government lists of potential terrorists, criminals, and their relatives? It's not a "white people" problem. That would be a problem faced primarily by dark-skinned people.
And really, what else would the government do with a database of the DNA of every person in the country, other than use it to track and profile people of color? Could you imagine being "stop-and-frisked" for your DNA to see if you were related to any known criminal, and then questioned under suspicion that you might know where they are hiding?
It seems simply crazy to say in one breath that government and police abuse their power, and then in the next say you want to give them authority to keep files on every single person with impunity.
