Black people were disproportionately represented
Black people are disproportionately represented everyday. Black people get profiled everyday. As well as other POC as well.
-
twice as likely to die of Covid as white people.
The healthcare system when it comes to POC is broken. l believe that they would rather seek care to a white individual rather than a POC.
-
And the report found that Black people were three and a half times as likely as white people to be killed by the police.
As a black female, I am frightened when I go out everyday. Do I look suspicious? Am I being too loud with my friends? Maybe I should put my phone in my pocket rather than my hand - wait, it could look like something is in my pocket, I'd better put it in my purse.

At least four Black women and girls were murdered per day in the United States in 2020
Wow. It's crazy how so many POC are dying everyday due to police brutality and it's yet not covered on news channels.
-
In a shocking revelation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday released provisional data suggesting that between 2019 and 2020, the country had its biggest increase in the rate of homicides in modern history.
This is upsetting information to learn

The ethics — and even the definition — of doxxing is murky.
Though I'm just now learning about doxxing, I can already tell that it is a very negative term. It's wrong to post such confidential things about someone on the internet for everyone to see just to see them hurt. That's just another way of saying cyberbullying.

including a professor from Arkansas who was wrongly accused of participating in the neo-Nazi march.
So, I'm assuming, with doxxing, it doesn't always give out the correct information.

So has “doxxing” — originally a slang term among hackers for obtaining and posting private documents about an individual, usually a rival or enemy.
I never knew about the term 'doxxing' but now I do.

“You’re a Nazi and you’re fired, it’s your fault,” she sang. “You were spotted in a mob, now you lost your freaking job. You’re a Nazi and you’re fired, it’s your fault.”
This opening quote really caught my attention

Until she has nothing left to give, and the next thread about some other person plucked from obscurity comes along.
Fame tears down people who don't have the strong mentality of being in the spotlight and once it tears that person down, it'll move on to the next and the next. A cycle that never stops.

This is the Faustian alchemy of social media: we are all given the opportunity to become celebrities in an instant, sometimes for nonsensical reasons, with or without our input.
With new social media apps and random people going viral on the internet, anyone can be famous but not everyone wants to be famous. Every individual on this Earth has a chance to go viral one day and become the next big social media influencer.
-
What had been private is now uncontrollably crowdsourced. Your consent becomes a trifling detail in a story about you that suddenly belongs to everyone else.
What you post on social media - does it ever really go away, even if you delete it? Your post could be linked somewhere or so many people have seen it, that it never erases from minds. Something you posted on an old account that you never use that you thought was long gone could just pop up with a simple google search of your name. Nothing is every truly forgotten or deleted when it comes to the internet.
-
The story’s charm disguises the invasion of privacy at its heart: the way technology is both eroding our personal boundaries and coercing us in deleterious ways.
You never know who is invading your personal space on social media. We post anything without truly thinking about how much it could have an affect on us in the future.

They want to hate us. They want to hate me.
It's upsetting to me how society views people of color as someone they have to hate just because of the color of their skin.

Zero-tolerance policies in schools result in high suspension rates and expulsion rates among students in general, but disproportionately affect minority students, especially African- Americans because students who have been suspended or expelled are more likely than not to end up in the Criminal Justice System.
When I was in high school, there were a lot of students that had either gotten expelled or had to transfer to a continuation school because they didn't have enough credits to continue on to the next year.
-
Schools can not only play their part in reducing discrimination, but schools can also play their part in reducing U.S. debt by eliminating zero-tolerance policies, which will shut off the School-to-Prison Pipeline.
I know a lot of students that went to juvie because of a zero-tolerance policy. I believe that when someone goes to jail at an early age, they think that their life is over and that there is no chance of turning it around. That is why I am a firm believer in second chances.
-
educing the prison population should be one of the highest priorities of U.S. citizens.
It should be but I think the U.S don't think second chances are an option. And it also depends on what the crime the prisoner committed. Was it a robbery? Or did they cause major harm to someone innocent?
-
The United States has the highest prison population rate in the world.
I believe this is due to the racial profiling and discrimination amongst people of color.
