Content: One in three black men can expect to go to prison in their lifetime. Black offenders receive sentences ten percent longer than white offenders. Although all races use drugs at approximately the same rate, people of color are far more likely to be arrested; although African Americans represent 14% of regular drug users, they’re 37% of those arrested for drug use. Immigration is an issue of particular concern. Obviously, the deportation of undocumented immigrants shows the privilege that people with citizenship have over people without citizenship. The immigration process itself favors those with class, education, and straight privilege. In addition, “show us your papers” laws and deportation disproportionately affect Hispanics, far more so than Asian or European undocumented immigrants. Don’t like ads?
