Its stated; if theywant to keep anything from Black people.... but it in a book, because we dont read. PLEASE READ!!!!! To everyone that post they dont understand WHY Mike Browns death has to be about race... watch the video! True, we are no longer in slavery or in 1950.... but racism does exist, and our BLACK males are singled out more than any other race. Some people defense is most crimes are committed by black males, which is why there are more black males in prison, so it natural to view black men as criminals. Well allow me to educate you on how this movement began, and how our black men populated the prison systems in uAmerica... since this part of our history isnt taught! Black Codes: body of laws, statutes, and rules enacted by southern states immediately after the Civil War to regain control over the freed slaves, maintain white supremacy, and ensure the continued supply of cheap labor. For the next several months, southern states sought a way to restore for the white majority what the Civil War and the Thirteenth Amendment had tried to deny them, supremacy, control, and economic power over the fate of African Americans. Congress quickly responded to the Black Codes by passing the civil rights act of 1866, which made it illegal to discriminate against blacks by assigning them an inferior legal and economic status. Two years later the states ratified the Fourteenth Amendment, which guaranteed equal protection of the laws to the residents of every state. But the southern states were not deterred. They soon passed a new set of laws that permitted local officials to informally discriminate against blacks, without specific statutory authority. The thrust-and-parry exchanges between Congress and the southern states continued throughout the period Reconstruction (1865-77) and through the first half of the twentieth century. I am not racist, because that would probably be next after posting a comment like this. But I do believe that everyone should be educated, when they dont understand why race still plays a factor in soceity today!
