Too many white people be like...? Until recently (in reading "The New Jim Crow") it hadn't occurred to me that slavery didn't require white slave owners to HATE their black slaves. Instead of hate, it only needed slave owners to feel as though their slaves were inherently INFERIOR and that black people frankly wouldn't be much better off without slavery.
The same beliefs held true throughout the time of the Jim Crow Laws. Many white people simply believed that black people couldn't function as full members of society as they lacked inherent intellectual capacity and moral strength. Thus why should they give them the right to vote and other rights that white Americans had?
And today. The War On Drugs is still in effect and the US has less than 5% of the world's population but over 20% of the its prisoners, with black people being disproportionately locked up and the vast majority of them for non-violent drug crimes. This being true despite the fact that studies show that blacks and whites engage in drug crimes at roughly the same rates. So here's the big question.

You either believe that

A. Black people have been economically disadvantaged in the US from the very beginning and are paying the price of a criminal justice system that disproportionately targets them. Hmm, maybe there's some correlation.

B. Black people are inherently inferior and that claims of a system that makes it harder for them to reach the same economic status as white Americans are simply an excuse for black peoples' laziness, criminal tendencies, etc. Because these qualities are inherent to them.
Remember, you don't have to actively hate black people to believe B. But many slave owners didn't hate black people either. Maybe 200 years from now we'll look back at the people opting for choice B and notice some trends in history.
When we think about 1 in 4 black Americans being in poverty compared to 1 in 10 white Americans, maybe we'll look back and realize that the solution was not to simply to tell them to "try harder." #CriminalJusticeReform #BlackLivesMatter (Thoughts made possible by Michelle Alexander and "The New Jim Crow")
