"{Racism} is not about how you look, it's about how people assign meaning to how you look"

Police Brutality

Why is this an issue?

The problem with police brutality is the immoderate amount the illegal use of force. This is something that has been occurring for many years. In many situations police officers aren't being held accountable for their actions. Innocent lives are constantly being taken away because of this. All this happens due to racial discrimination.

Who is Affected?

Although African Americans aren't the only ones that deal with police violence, they are the ones primarily affected by it. Armed or unarmed African Americans are more often racially profiled when seen by a police officer compared to a white person.
