understanding the new jim crow

understanding the new jim crow is a issue that is very big! this will be a attempt to break down this complex system of mass incarceration and who the players are and their roles within the system.
the first player in this complex system of mass incarceration is you! you must understand what role you play, the problem with most of us is selfishness as african- american and other minorities we all ready know law enforcement  agency target us. therefore the least we could do is get a understanding of laws and the legal system. but what makes us selfish is that we are not concerned about the law until it comes knocking at your door or the door of some one you love, which is usually after the fact! we are going to have to be proactive and preventive if we want to save our community and especially are young people. we are going to have to discipline our children and make them understand why they are being discipline before the law gets them because they show no mercy!
this will be a common topic on this blog!!! {the new jim crow} as we go into the new year and the presidential race heats up in 2012 you will hear the tough on crime campaign slogan over and over. but what does that really mean?
politicians commonly use this slogan in their campaign.
this means, you guest it they will be targeting certain groups of mostly minorities. this in short is how they may target get tough on crime slogan. they play on emotion (fear), imagery and numbers. first they play on fear everyone wants to be safe along with their love ones. so they say we are going to clean up the streets and get rid of crime. but by all accounts crimes rates have already drop to new lows but mass incarceration is steady going up! the crime most committed in the united states is some sort sexual assault- rape, child-porn and sexual harassment by white men! but these case hardly go any where in the judicial process and when pursued very light sentences are given out. imagery is a big part of the problem also, when you think of a drug dealer you think of a black male! there are black drug dealers, but people by drugs in their own community so who sales to young white people who live in the suburbs or in rural farming area? where there are few black men. everyone knows it but does not speak on it cause it so sad, all the drug activity that goes on at college and university campus all over the united states. by all accounts there are very few black men of participate in any higher education activities of any kind. so who are the drug dealers in this areas?
next the numbers game, this is the part of that complex system that is truly complex! so politicians say crime is down twenty- percent (20%) from four (4)  years ago when i took office but they only targeted crimes that african- americans and other minorities committed not crime over all.
in all actuality white- collar crimes committed by whites have a bigger impact then some crimes committed by blacks. like embezzlement which can collapse a company, and cause job lost then which can hurt the tax base of that community. {ask the people at enron} or the those child victim of child porn they basically never really get it together as you could imagine but years if not a life time of counseling, how big of bill is that and who pays for it?
so please get involved with the law making process and bills that are passed in your community.
