that the white male served a 6 months sentence and the black male served a 5 year sentence. Both students committed the same crime, had no prior recorders, but was portrayed to the public differently. In 2008 about 13% of our population was black while this being true, 38% of sentenced inmates were also black. How does 1/6 of our general population make of over 1/3 of our inmates here in the United States? Easy, because of white privilege. Black males were convicted 6 times more than white…
prejudice is to get rid of police brutality. Recently in these past years, there are a lot of police brutality cases.

Slaveholders showed concern for black women who suffered from husband abuse, but did not get involved with those who went back to their husbands protection as involvement could lead to marital drama. Women that were involved in physical abuse from their husbands would never report the encounter and some would even lie for their men.

different views black people have on themselves because of their colour. The film really made me think about how we can help black people not feel second-class to white people but also made me realise how hard it is to do so because of society today. The film uses young kids to support the idea that colourism effects kids from a young age and lowers their self esteem. The film showed a scene where several photos were shown to a young black girl. The photos were of the same black girl but with…

2 surprised me the most Learning that black adolescents face every day compared to their white counter parts. Race has been an issue for quite some time now, these racial divides are no different in the juvenile justice system.

attacked most are the Blacks, as they seem to get the most negativity from many. Even today, Black people are still severely affected by racism, which causes public outrage by many in the Black community, to the point where they created the tagline, “Black Lives Matter”, which is a group of black protesters who claim that any other lives aren’t important, and say that black lives only matter in the world.
