Additionally Shakur also stated that people should not let the police treat them unjustly Shakur believed that the police did not like to see Black People with nice material things; he felt it made them jealous and angry. He also believed that people should fight back against the police, even if it meant killing them. That was one reason he always had a firearm in his possession. Another reason Shakur carried a firearm is revenge; Shakur verbally elaborates about his fear of a past enemy seeing him in public and trying to kill him. As a final point, Shakur ended the song with the words “That’s the way it
Sometimes we are being pulled over by police officers not because we ran a red light, have broken taillights, speeding, or have narcotics on our vehicles; it is due to the fact that they can use their power over us. And all of us, regardless of economic status, or race, should scream to heaven when the police do not do their jobs equally for all citizens. Driving while black (dwb). Black drivers in America are more expected to: be stopped by the police; inquired to have their car examined; Have everybody in the car checked to tell if they are sought by the police. Some call it “driving while black or brown” because it affects Latinos also.
Then the movie jumps back to the day before the crash. It instantly goes to Dorri and Farhad buying a gun. The guy selling them the gun gets in a dispute with Farhad because the man insults Farhad for not speaking English. Then the scene jumps to Anthony and Peter discussing how racist Anthony thinks their waitress was and that he felt she deliberately was being slow because they were black. Anthony also thinks every white person on the street is sizing them up because of their color and that all the white people fear them.
you greaser!” In society’s view Los Angeles police department is thought to be bias against blacks, Mexicans, and Hispanics. They are known to beat civilians other than whites, after a crime, and use the excuse they were resisting arrest. Many suits have been filed against the Los Angeles Police Department, Not many won. Los Angeles is a very racial area of our country. The gangs of L.A. kill each other everyday and run the streets.
It was not the black nurses fault that thy needed to wait for the doctor. What made me think he was actually a good guy instead of a prick was when the same women that he molested in the beginning of the movie was in a terrible car accident. He was the first cop there and did not realize that it was the same women. When they locked eyes the women started to scream because she would rather die then have him touch her again. He knew the right thing to do was to make her feel safe and get her out of the damaged car.
Bob Herbert wrote an article called “Hounding the Innocent.” He talks about how more people are getting pulled over just because the police want to humiliate them. This act makes me indignant towards the law enforcement officers. Police are supposed to protect and serve not poke fun at people. Hispanics and African Americans are being humiliated but it’s mostly the minority groups. These groups are being stopped just because they seem like the “bad” people.
The percentages of the people that are arrested in New Orleans are young African American Males. Now are all them all committing horrible crimes like murder? Well some are, but instead of these crooked cops trying to do undercover work they should be stopping the real problems. Many of New Orleans police officers are not in it for the safety of our city. There polices officers that arrested men with weed just to keep it and sell it back to another drug dealer so that they make money off of it.
This notion is what forced America into an era of black faced performers and blacks portraying monkeys in the past. Furthermore, some blame the media for causing stereotypes of blacks as the “trouble race”. It is not unusual to turn on the local news and see a story about crimes committed by African-Americans, males especially. It is believed that the media helps feed the stereotype of the criminal black man through the continually poor representation of black men though the news. Denis Rome, a sociologist and professor at Indiana University, believes that these stereotypes present an opportunity for black men to live up to the negative portrayals; thinking if they accuses them of it then they might as well do it
One researcher found that police made decisions on whether to arrest youth based on their physical cues. Other decisions were made by their class, ethnicity and gender e.g. police were more likely to arrest an individual if they were a black working class boy. Furthermore Cicourel looked out other decisions such as stereotypes and generalisations, thus they concentrated on certain types of groups. This then lead for official statistics and the law enforcement to show a bias towards working class boys.
Stereotyping them she say they were black, so they must be harmful and out to harm her. Her view of black men was that they must be harmful and violent. She felt safer when she held on to her husband closer. She also did this in another part of the movie; when the men came to change the locks on her door, she wanted them changed again because the man who was changing them in her eyes was a “gang banger”. She was convinced that since he was Mexican that he was going to sell the key to someone else and he or she would rob the house.
