The New Jim Crow book review

Words cannot express how much I love this book! It opened my eyes to a lot of things that I never knew, because I did not grow up around any ohome_book_cvrf the “poor” neighborhoods. Lately, my thoughts and beliefs have been shifted and I feel awful about not really caring about what happens to the youth and adults that grew up in those neighborhoods that have a rough. History definitely repeats itself from what is going on today and how they want to keep black people down. Mass incarnation is a massive problem and I do not think a lot of people know that and if they did I do not think it would be as bad as it is. I almost feel like it is a trap within itself and what are community organizations doing to help relieve the problem? How about we organize some mentoring groups or after school activities to get the children involved so they will not give to the street life. It just crazy and sad that every day and every minute somebody child is getting involved with drugs and gang violence. It’s up to us to change things and it is not going to be easy but it only takes one person. Be the change you wish to see!
