1. What is your overall reaction to this article? In the article The black family in the age of mass incarceration, was overall and amazing article. A lot of people see the “blacks” as drug dealers or murder or look at them in a different way then they look at white. Reading this article gave proof of that.

brothers, but now, there is. Members of the human race have been slaughtered, killed, and had their race put through torture that caused pain beyond mere imagination. Yet, it existed as pain just as real as anything else. An entire race of people disrespected and abused. So, obviously this race must have committed a crime beyond any else.
