Corrupt Law for Afro-Americans

Summary

The website content discusses systemic corruption and racism within the U.S. legal system, particularly affecting Afro-Americans, and calls for societal change to ensure fairness and justice.

Abstract

The article titled "Black Lives Matter: Corrupt Law for Afro-Americans" delves into the systemic issues plaguing the U.S. judicial system, highlighting five sectors of corruption that disproportionately impact African-Americans. It criticizes the publicization of Black perpetrators while victims' identities are often protected, suggesting this practice perpetuates negative stereotypes and second-class citizen status. The piece argues that the integrity of the legal system is compromised by dishonesty, racism, and financial incentives in incarceration, leading to unfair treatment and mass incarceration of Black individuals, which the author likens to a new form of slavery. The article emphasizes the importance of the presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial, condemning media sensationalism that can taint public perception before a verdict is reached. It concludes by advocating for personal and societal transformation to combat racism and promote love, education, and fairness for all.

Opinions

The over-publicization of Black accused compared to the protection of victims' identities is seen as a form of injustice that reinforces racial biases.
The judicial system is perceived as tainted by a lack of integrity, with cases involving minority groups often marred by biases and racism.
Law enforcement and judicial systems are accused of sometimes prioritizing financial gain and public image over justice, particularly through the profitable business of incarceration.
The article suggests that mass incarceration, especially of Black men, is a contemporary manifestation of racial oppression and hatred.
The principle of "innocent until proven guilty" is considered to be undermined by media coverage that prejudges cases before trials commence.
Personal and societal change, starting with self-love and education, is proposed as the key to mitigating racism and achieving a fairer society.

We Publicize Black Perpetrators

In many ongoing and past cases, the identities of “victims” are hidden or sealed, but the identities of the accused (more often people of color) are conspicuously over-publicized — even if the accusations are false. Society loves to paint the Black individual as bad, evil, harmful, and dangerous; this helps keep Blacks second-class citizens.

If the identity of the victims can be protected, then the identities of all involved with a case should be protected as well; it’s only fair. Until all facts are present, everyone deserves the right to privacy and fairness. Or did we forget?

Integrity

One of the greatest fallacies of our judicial system is that not everyone in the system is honest. On top of that, the falsely accused often reap tainted reputations, financial loss, emotional loss, and career loss due to these false accusations. Yes, sometimes the falsely accused obtain reparations, but most do not.

Many of us want to believe that all district attorneys, judges, police officers, lawyers, and detectives are honest people who only want justice, but biases, racism, misuse of financial resources, and negligence run rampant in many cases — especially cases involving minority groups.

Yes, there are some fair cases, but there are countless cases not handled fairly. In some cases, racism blatantly occurs, and nobody does anything about it; inequitable circumstances happen more often to those at a natural disadvantage than their white and/or upper-class counterparts.

Financial Gain

Many law enforcement and judicial systems often desire to put a person in jail or prison to make a name for themselves or obtain more money for their district, county, city, and state. Private and public incarcerating institutions are very profitable businesses. I am not implying that many people are only thrown in jail for profitability-related reasons, but this is one reason why people are zealous in sending people to jail/prison.

Mass Incarceration

Of course, we can’t forget that the institutionalization of racial identities other than white is also a rampant issue-especially for black men; this is one new form of slavery, which is also an indirect form of hatred and fear. You would think after so many years of slavery that involved situations of the following:

Unnecessary punishment

Familial destruction

Inhumane torturing

Hanging

Rape

Unlawful behavior

Etc.

….people would finally give African-Americans a break, but we can see this is not the case in today's society. Many African-Americans are unnecessarily arrested, murdered, falsely accused, given unfair trials with negligent handling of their cases, and hurt because of the color of their skin.

Fair Trial

The right to a fair trial and case is imperative freedom that should be afforded to EVERY American of EVERY race. Innocent until proven guilty needs to be remembered and adhered to in all cases. The news and media will often throw a person under the bus before finding out the facts of a case. We claim that a person has the right to a fair trial, yet we allow the media to taint audiences before a trial even occurs — which is complete bullshit.

I learned not to judge those accused of wrongs before learning all the facts before a trial has even begun. The media often doesn’t know all the information and factors of a case, and neither do we.

What Can We Do?

In order to change our society for the better and mitigate racism, we must first change ourselves. We must first love ourselves and then others. We must first educate ourselves and then others (if they are open to it). But we must always start with ourselves. Once we change ourselves, society will follow.
