our society and has happened over the past year or so and how that has to played into this theory. The second is how Americans label people when yes, they have committed a crime, but even if it wasn’t a significant crime, they are still considered a “criminal” within our society. The first thing that comes to my mind are the shootings that white cops have done on African American men particularly as of late through media, Facebook, and just the news.

The Issue Of Racism “You’re a terrorist!”, is something that has been said to me many times to me throughout my life. “I can’t breathe!”, said a black man in New York with asthma who was put in a chokehold and killed by police even though he said it repetitively.

apprehended him later that day, but yet when he got arrested the officers offered to buy him food because he was hungry. Really? He just killed nine innocent people for no reason and you buy him food because he is hungry? Knowing if he was an African- American they would not even offered him any food because he was hungry, they most likely would have let him starve. Another example is when the cops got a call about a white man who has a gun and is armed and dangerous, I repeat, ARMED AND…
