Justice System Racism
Is the Criminal Justice System Racist?
In the article “Is the Criminal Justice System Racist” I believe that it’s racist because everyone should get treated equally it doesn't matter what race you are everyone should have the same charge and do the same time and it does not seems like everyone is getting treated equal. According to the 1st sentence it states that (1) “At a presidential primary debate this Martin Luther King Day, for instance Senator Barack Obama charged that blacks and whites “are arrested at very different rates, are convicted at very different rates and receive very different sentences… for the same crime.” (2) “No one has ever come up with a plausible argument as to why crime victims would be biased in their reports.” …show more content…
Also in the article “What it’s like to be black in the Criminal Justice System” In this world that we are living in as black it’s really hard, because you get caught doing something they will think it’s violent and they will find a way to shoot you or do anything else harmful to us as black people. It does not matter what color you are black, white, Hispanic, Mexican it does not give anyone the right to kill us black Americans, because they target us black Americans. According, to the 1 sentence it states that “Based on data from the the bureau of justice statistics nationally, black drivers are also more likely to be pulled over and less likely to receive a reason for being stopped.” Just because we are black americans does not mean they have to stop us because of our color. In the 4 paragraph it states that “Black Americans are more likely to serve longer sentences than white Americans for the same offense.” Why do we have to serve long sentences for the same crime that the whites have done? “Black men’s sentences were, on average, 10 percent longer than those of their white peers.” In this world that we live in it’s so many haters towards us black Americans. Shocking number of blacks have been killed in encounters with police in the year since Ferguson and the years before and every black that done got killed was some innocent bystanders, they wasn't doing anything wrong just was getting shot for no apparently
