The Black Of Black Crimes

Black on black violence and crime is when black people murder, steal, and etc. its basically any form of crime perform against each other, as bad as it sounds its very common in todays society. Black on black violence is a huge social problem nowadays because the homicide is out of the roof. Whenever a race helps extinct itself along with diseases and other components of life, it's considered a social problem. Black on black violence can be just regular people harming each other or it can even be gang related for an example the Crips and Bloods have been gangbanging from the start. They are two prodominatly black gangs. "On the other hand, as many have pointed, black-on-black crime is a huge problem. (Consider the homicide numbers from the

Over the last two years in the United States the African-American people have been fighting a war within our own backyards. The Washington Post reports that since January 2015, the police have shot and killed over 175 young black men ranging from ages 18-29; 24 of them were unarmed. On the flip side 172 young white men were killed, only 18 being unarmed. With these statistics there are similarities in the numbers but, blacks were killed at rates disproportional to their percentage of U.S population (1.Washington Post). Of all unarmed people shot and killed by police in 2015. With 40% being black men make up just 6% of the nation’s populations. In the wake of the killings of Mike Brown, Sandra Bland, Alton Sterling, and many more the world has been made more publicly aware of injustices black people have to handle when dealing with law enforcement. Crime in the black community is nothing new in the black community or should I say black on black crime. There is a bad stereotype that has been put on black people since slavery times that I believe has help fueled the violence between the police and my people.

Another question exists however. Why are Black individuals more likely to commit crime? This can be confusing as to why this occurs. Both Black and white people who grow up in the same society are capable and have the same opportunities, so why is it that black individuals have a higher crime rate. We can figure this out by looking at examples of other first world countries and data seems to show that major causes of crime are traced back to poverty, family conditions, and drugs. The fact is even though many black families are living prosperous successful lives in north America they still lag behind economic status with 35 % of African Americans living in poverty compared to 13% of all Americans. Also 72% of black children are raised by a single

One of the problems with the assumption that there is a link between race and crime is that not every conforms to the norm. The face that blacks are more likely to commit a crime doesn’t mean that every black person you see is a criminal. In late 2011 the New York police were accused of racial profiling though their use of the stop and frisk program. 53% of

Many legal statements and documents show that black people are prevalent to various criminal cases compared to the white people. These claims have been based on allegations that the police force is bias and they suspect every black person by taking them in even on minor offenses. The black community is also faced with the problem of misrepresentation of their cases leading to them filling most of the United States prisons. However, there are substantial pieces of evidence that clearly show that the black people are actively involved in many crimes in the United States. There is no tangible evidence to articulate and form an inference between the relationship of race and criminal activity.

Slaves were considered objects that could be sold and have no freedom to be their own person. English colonists were their masters and could kill, sell, rape any of their slaves and they wouldn’t be held accountable for their actions. They were brought from Africa to the

When examining the crime rate amongst white and black Americans, the latter usually tends to receive negative connotation, yet the article “In Search of White Crime” challenges that notion. The article presents a valid argument that creates an alternative to the mainstream idea that black is deemed tainted and white pure. Though it is believed by the majority of Americans that crime in the black communities is highest when compared to whites, crime and incarceration rates for whites are exceptionally higher than the black population. The article explains the major differences in numbers between whites and blacks in correlation to crime and makes it clear that the world’s perception on black crime is highly

According to our book, African American males, aged 17-39, have the highest rate of becoming victims and as a whole; it is the African American population that have the highest risk of victimization as a group(Karmen). Much of the risk of victimization can stem from several characteristics, from where they live, their economic status and their lifestyle. The community they live in may be neighborhoods that are not as well off or are poor, where crime has become a part of the daily living experience. Generations upon generations grow up in the impoverished inner city; crime becomes a learned behavior passed on from the generations before. They quit school and join one of the inner city gangs and why not, their peers are doing it. I see a lot

From the colonial period to the year 1877, African Americans have been victimized, abused, and mistreated. Norman L. Macht and Mary Hull published a book titled World History Series: The History of Slavery. In this book they wrote, “Americans today have a difficult time understanding justified slavery with the Declaration of Independence. Its message, ‘All men are created equal’ did not include slaves” (76). African Americans were property to early White Americans. Slaves had no rights and if a slave were to run away, they were returned rightful owner like a horse or cattle. Slaves were viewed as animals because there was no room for

Generally, people come in all colors, shapes, and sizes, however, the idea of a person’s skin color and other relatable physical features is what makes up a country’s order status among the members living in the same place. All people are different, and they all come from several geographical areas around the world, which scholars believe to be traced to climatic adaptation. For this reason, racism often harms groups within a population, specifically a white population. With this said, “the darkest people are for the most part at the bottom of the class-status hierarchy” (Hartmann & Uggen, 280). Social class and political movements are repeatedly dividing Blacks, which has been a problem since the abolishment of slavery in 1864. Generally, Blacks are still suffering more than any other nonwhite groups of similar class positions such as Mexicans, and other Hispanics from Caribbean countries from situations of harsh discrimination and segregation, even though they are wealthy and well educated. For a better understanding, the separation of classes by race is not helping the diversity of races within a country. For the most part, “African Americans continue to commit a proportionally greater share of the street crime, especially street drug sales—often because legitimate job opportunities are scarce” (Hartmann & Uggen, 283). Then again, situations like this one create chaos among Blacks that are perceived as being inferiors, therefore, creating hatred among the classes and giving justification for whites that “they are less deserving than immigrants” (Hartmann & Uggen, 284). William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, also known as W.E.B. Du Bois was born in 1869 and died on 1963. He was one of the twentieth century’s most prominent social scientist, writer, and public figure, and the author of many

Racism in America dates back to the 16th century when slaves arrived and were forcefully deployed by their masters to work. Social dimensions that suggest a society is racist are where members of a racial group demean, despise, discriminate, and mistreat another racial group (Razack, 2002). Discrimination of the inferior racial group in accessing economic empowerment opportunities shows a pattern of racism in a society.

The growth of positive development in the fight for full and total equality for all of America’s citizens has come to a grinding halt and stagnated in the contemporary period. From the time of the writing of the report by Patrick Moynihan for the call to action in making amends to the situation unfolding within the African American community, it can be said that the phenomenon described by Moynihan have not been aggressively addressed and thus have not drastically improved. African Americans, to the time of writing this paper, continue to struggle with the evils of inequality in the United States. Being born African American in the United States almost instantaneously stacks the deck against the individual for their future: their education, employment options, likelihood to become incarcerated, social status, and overall well being are statistically unfavorable to white Americans. This increasingly dire situation can be remedied with the hard work and dedication of the American people to the mission of true equality in step with swift, decisive, and impactful policy from the United States Government parallel to the legislature of the 1930’s and 1960’s. Justice for the African American community, nearly four centuries overdue, must promptly be served to correct the endlessly self-reciprocating cycle of poverty that disproportionately impacts said community.

The first thing that needed to be done in the process of this review, was to provide a historical background of the meaning of racism here in America after the post-civil rights era, and how the past can account for the African American’s transition from plantations to ghettos, and from ghettos to penitentiaries. The second is to take into account the role that economics, politics, and the issues of immigration that have been placed on African Americans in reducing equality and promoting equal

The black report is a finding which was is really large differentials in mortality and morbidity which its more liked in the higher social classes and that these were not being adequately addressed by health or social services. Between the rich and poor the black report has a wider divide the health care provision now. In countries where there is small income usually would have the best healthcare and the best health and the countries like the UK are rich and they have health inequalities persist. Children in the lowest socio economic group would be 5 times more likely to die form an accident than those in the top socio economic group. Also a person from a socio-economic an in group five would more likely to suffer a stroke than a person in class 1. Also an infant mortality rate is the highest among the lowest in social group. Also the age of people who are more likely to experience a wide range of illnesses. There is a higher % of inequality in retirement due to loss of income and the higher rates of benefits. The women live longer so have more female related illnesses.

The new laws and customs the Spanish and English created continued to lead to their dominance. Even though Africans were quickly surpassing the English in numbers, throughout some areas, they would never go on to have power over them. The English saw the growing population of Africans as a threat and slowly started taking away their rights. They had “laws that specifically distinguished them from everyone else” (Ethnic Diversity in 18th Century PowerPoint, p. 54). At first, African slaves were able to marry, their children weren’t considered slaves, and they were only slaves for a number of years, however, this changed as time went on. Eventually, their only free day was Sunday, they were slaves for life and their children would take their place as servants when their parents died “…for when a negro is once bought, he is the purchaser’s servant as long as he lives, unless he gives him to another, or sets him free” (Peter Kalm, p. 5). These laws and actions made it impossible for Africans to own land, overpopulate the colony, and surpass their English owners. Also, “In South Carolina, the Negro Act stripped Africans of all rights and put a ten-year moratorium on the importation of Africans” (Ethnic Diversity in 18th Century PowerPoint, p. 39). Along with the laws put on them, Africans were horribly mistreated and abused; “the condition of the Negroes is very bad, by reason of the severity of the Laws” (William Moraley, p. 1). The lack of punishment for the mistreatment of
