Systemic Racism is a common trait in discrimination that affects a whole system, group, body, economy, market, or society. It is subtly composed of racist rules, behaviors, and ideas. Such behaviors have been shown through mass incarceration. It is stated that “black men have been admitted to prison on drug charges at rates twenty to fifty times greater than those of white men” (Alexander 7). Racial profiling plays a big part in mass incarceration because black men are suspected to have or use drugs more than white men based on their skin color. Not only is systemic racism seen in mass incarceration, but also in educational inequality where Jon Greenburg writes “black preschoolers are three times more likely to be suspended than white students.
