• The surest way to be charged with marijuana possession in New York City is to be black or Hispanic, an analysis by The Times has found.
Across the city, black people were arrested on low-level marijuana charges at eight times the rate of white, non-Hispanic people over the past three years. Hispanics were arrested at five times the rate of white people. In Manhattan, the gap is even starker.
• The Police Department says more residents of predominantly black and Hispanic neighborhoods call to complain about use of the drug. But that doesn’t fully explain the racial disparity, the Times analysis found.
Racism must be tough thing to live with especially if it’s in your face. At work and at home.
African Americans struggle pushed for enactment of the Civil rights act which made it possible for African immigrants to survive in USA.
The Kenyans that live and work in USA owe it to the struggles of African Americans. Some ignorant ones don’t even know this. Ignorance is bliss.
Si warudi Africa waone hata huku tunapigwa risasi na tunabaguliwa na waafrika wenzetu … Wakionja ya huku watakimbia kwa wazungu wao waseme afadhali huko
Wacha zako… Tell us where you went to spend money but was refused service because you were black… most racism is very subtle btw… they don’t spit on you (generally) on the streets but they might as well. There ARE racist black people too!
