For white Southerners, keeping blacks away from the ballot box was crucial. Blacks were a large percent of the population and especially in the deep South, a black voting block could change the power structure.

It has been fueled by the ideology of white supremacy and American Eugenics, which uses propaganda and psychological warfare to convince non-people of color that men of color are a threat to their existence and our society as a whole. Michelle Alexander, who holds joint appointments with Ohio States Moritz College of Law and the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity, works as an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and has made a profound impact on the topic of mass incarceration of men of color.

Encounters with this black Islamic movement, discussed in this essay, I argue the proper conclusion that the Nation of Islam’s message was an angry one and the idea of a complete extermination of all whites is irrational and, in
Violence in a well ordered society is a rule that is often times broken. Both texts Lizzie Bright and the Buckminsters Boy and The Outsiders show that violence lead to death and the disruption of a society. In the first novel, Lizzie Bright and The Buckminsters Boy, The White People of the Pittsburg society wanted The Blacks out of their own island because they wanted to use it as a tourist resort. After the Blacks refused to move of the island, people of the Pittsburg community took matters into their own hands burning down their homes and everything that they held to their name.
