There are 5 times as many Whites using drugs than African-Americans, but African-Americans are being convicted of drug related offenses 10 times the rate of Whites.

Felons, especially those who are African American, are treated similar to colored people under Jim Crow because of the loss of rights among felons, the stigma of former offenders in society, and…

    African Americans had long battled the issue of equal protection under the law as well as equal rights and representation. It is no secret that African Americans were struggling to regain their self-worth after experiencing several hundred years of slavery. Given that times have long since progressed, one would assume we would possess the same rights as White Americans. This is not at all the case; it is almost the exact opposite.
