Jim Crow Policing

In the article Jim Crow Policing by Bob Herbert on the New York Times , it is about
how the New York Police Department needs to be restrained because the racial
profiling of young black and hispanic New Yorkers.

Racial Profiling has been going since the era of slavery. The white people would believe
that god made a mistake with them since they were colored and since they were
different looking than them they would assume the worst from them. During the time of
slavery in 1619 when the first African Slaves were brought to America for labor. Just
because they had colored skin they were treated unequal and were segregated for
everything

The official reason given the policies for the stops are bogus.My wallet,my notebook
and my cellphone would all apply. The people say they also stop people for wearing
inappropriate attire for the season. That was certainly unusual attire for the middle of
January, but it didnt cross my mind that he should be accosted by the police.The
Constitutional Rights has filed a class-action lawsuit against the city and the Police
Department over the stops. Several plaintiffs detailed how their ordinary daily lives were
interrupted by cops bend on harassment for no good reason. The endless instances of
this kind of madness. People going about their daily business,bothering no one, are
menaced out of the blue by the police, forced to spread themselves face down in the
street, or plaster themselves against a wall. People who object to the harassment are
often threatened with arrest for disorderly conduct.

They insists that the policy is not racist. And he has said repeatedly that the
racial makeup of the people stopped and frisked is proportionally similar to the racial
makeup of people committing crimes. The fact that certain percentage of criminals may
be black or hispanic is no reason for the police to harass individuals for those groups
when their is no indication whatsoever that have done anything wrong. Jim Crow laws
were State and local laws enforcing racial segregation in the Southern United States.
They mandated de Jure Racial Segregation in all public facilities in the States of the
formed Confederate States of America. Jim Crow laws sometimes, as in Florida part of
state constitutions mandated the segregation of public schools,public places, and public
transportation. And the segregation of restrooms,restaurants, and drinking foundations
for whites and blacks. The U.S military was also segregated, as were federal
workplaces,initiated in 1913 under President Woodrow Wilson. Jim Crow laws followed
the 1800-1866 Black codes which had previously restricted the civil rights and civil
liberties of African Americans Segregation of public. Generally, the remaining Jim Crow
laws overruled by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Right Acts of 1965, but
years of actions and court challenges have been needed to unravel the many means of
institutional discrimination.

The Candidates require to submit photos,his administration practiced racial

discrimination in hiring. The Law institutionalized a number of economic, educational
and social advantages. Jim Crow was derisive slang term for a black man. It came
mean any state law passed in the South that established different rules for black and
whites. Jim Crow explores segregation from the end of the Civil War to the dawn of the
modern civil rights movement.Jim Crow segregation at the end of the 19th century, civil
right leaders continued to advocate meeting fire with fire. Jim Crow era was one of
struggle-not only for the victims of violence,discrimination and poverty, but by those who
worked to challenge.

Statistics will be out shortly about the total stopped and frisked by the police in
2009. From Delaware to California, and from North Dakota to Texas, many states could
impose legal punishments on people for consorting with members of another race.The
most common type of laws forbade intermarriage and ordered business owners and
public institutions to keep their black and white clientele separated. Here is a sampling
of laws for various states. No person or corporation shall require any white female nurse
to nurse in wards or rooms. In hospitals,either public or private, in which negro men are
placed. All passengers stations in the state operate by any motor transportation
company shall have separate waiting rooms or space and separate tickets windows for
the white and colored race.
 Officers engaged in the mistreatment are black or Latino themselves is
shameful.Herbert also speaks about the percentages of how many people stopped
actually are criminals. They often done this to completely innocent people and they
dont deserve to be treated way. Racism has always been a problem. We try to think its
been abolished but racism is still strong in our country, sadly. I believe that the police
are being racist when they suspect a person is a criminal in New York.Herbert makes
several points as to why police are harassing the black and latino population and how it
is wrong.Many latinos and black New Yorkers are frisked and harassed because they
look like Criminals. The study raise the claim that Reagan and his followers are
responsible for the doping of black Americas youth that would spread throughout
society. The motive for this inundations of drugs is Reagans Iran-Contra secret trade of
drugs for arms to perpetuate the illusion of U.S. hegemony in a world dependent on
Third World fossil fuel.

The classic Jim Crow was not directed at White people and neither is the new
Jim Crow. Three of tis grandparents are European heritage, one is Puerto Rican. He
wasnt white.In the New Jim Crow, policing forced are looking first and primrly at the
color of skin.We hve defeated Jim Crow, but now we have to deal with his Son, James
Crow Jr. esquire. The black family survived centuries of slavery and generations of Jim
Crow,but it has disintegrated in the wake of the liberal expansion o the welfare state.
Time begins the healing process of wounds cute deeply by oppression. We soothe
ourselves with the salve of attempted indifference, accepting the false pattern set up by
the horrible restriction of Jim Crow Laws.

Jim Crow, living in segregation, living in segregated schools, its hard to believe
that it was America, but it really was. The Drug War is the New Jim Crow. After years of
working on issues of racial profiling, police brutality and drug law enforcement in poor
communities of color as well as working with former inmates struggling to re-enter a
society that never seemed to have much use for them. The activists who posted the
sign on the telephone pole were not crazy, nor were the smattering of lawyers and
advocates around the country who were beginning to connect the dots between our
current system of mass incarceration and earlier forms of racial control. In fact,emerged
as a comprehensive and well-disguised system of racialized social control that functions
in a manner strikingly similar to Jim Crow. More than two millions African Americans are
currently under the control of the criminal-justice system- in prison or jail, or probation or
parole. During the past few decades,millions more have cycled in and out of the system.

The harm is greatly intensified when prisoners are released. The scale of
incarceration-relate discrimination is astonish. Ex-offenders are routinely strupped of
essential rights. Currents felon-disenfranchisement laws bar 12 percent of African
American men from casting a vote, thus making mass incarcerative an effective tool of
voter suppression. The scale of incarceration related discrimination is astonish.
Ex-offender are routinely stripped of essential right. Current felon-disenfranchisement
laws bar 13 percent of African American men from casting a vote, thus making mass
incarceration an effective tool of voter suppression-one reminiscent of poll taxes and
literacy tests of the Jim Crow era. Employers routinely discriminate against an applicant
based on criminal history.

The New Yorkers City Police Department needs to be restrained. The police
officers who feel no obligation to treat them fairly or with any respect at all is an
abomination. During that period, more than 450,000 people were stopped by the cops.
But kept in mind, whites composed fewer than 16 percent of the people stopped in the
first place.
