For those of you that say racism no longer exists in our country, it may not be blatant but it is quite obvious that racism is still here in our country. People are inherently racist and we can’t do much about that, however there are things we can do to raise awareness of what is going on within our country.
Racial Injustice and the Prison System
Did you know that in their lifetime, 1 in 3 Black men will go to prison. Today, over 40 % of the prison population is of African American descent, however only 20% of the United States population is African American. This points to a huge flaw in our criminal justice system where there is inherent bias in regards to who gets sent to prison and why they are sent their in the first place. This racism can be seen as a form of social control that is used to keep african americans down so they don’t succeed in the future.
What do I write about? Micky Mouse?
I’m running out of ideas on what I can write about in regards to black and white as a theme so I might recycle some topics. I dont know when we have to stop but I guess I can keep making blog posts just because, I could just write about black and white objects now but I dont understand the point really. Nothing I write is really connected to anything and it honestly doesnt make sense, this blog writing just feels like a chore and a hassle. So anyways here is a picture of Mickey mouse made by Walt Disney and who originated as a lead character from a black and white cartoon back in the old days.
