Tags: Lynching, Blm, Police Brutality, Protest, First Post

Excessive force against unarmed Black and Brown Folks Can´t be Justified and should be treated as a public health issue. To stop this Injustice we need to create a brand new justice system, at least a modified version of the Justice system where people of color get their Justice.

Let's start from the beginning when the Justice system was created which was in 1789 by the British. The Judiciary Act 1789, First let's talk about the Judiciary Act is the Act establishing the organization of the U.S federal court system, Which had been sketched only in general terms in the U.S constitution, The First publication of this act was published on September 24, 1789. Author by Oliver Ellsworth and William Paterson, Signed into law by Pres. George Washington. The Act is divided into separate districts with one court and one Judge in each district along with the attorney responsible for the civil and criminal actions in the districts. Why does the Judiciary Act have to do with Police Brutality? Police Brutality has to do with the Judiciary because the Judiciary lets the districts decide what punishment they can do to someone who commits a crime. Before the type of brutality, we have to know, there was a thing called Lynching, Lynching was popular in the deep south during the 19th and 20th, Lynching was a form of terrorization by White supremacy, Black people weren't the only people who were being lynched. White people got lynched because they were helping African-Americans and were Anti-Lynch, Immigrants from China, Mexico, Australia, and other countries were lynched as well. What caused someone to be Lynched, allegations caused someone to be Lynched, Allegations like sexual assaulting a White woman that was a very common allegation.

Black Men were lynched because Black Men were perceived as Violent and Hypersexual towards white women. This stereotype is also used to enforce segregation more against Black and White, Plus other people who are of color.

Many people were Lynched and murdered without even having evidenced they committing a crime.

Hundreds of Black People were killed for other accusations such as Arson, Robbery, arson, and vagrancy. Minorities were also killed for not violating social customs and not abiding by their white counterpart's expectations.

How many people were killed by lynching and how does it connect to police brutality?

According to the New York Times, over 2,000 Black people were lynched from 1865 to 1877, 74 years following the reconstruction period. During the reconstruction period and when black people started to gain power the lynching began to expand.

What does this have to do with the 21st century? This has to do with the modern world. On May,25 of 2020 George Floyd had his life taken away by Derrick Chauvin. Derrick Chauvin held his knee on George Floyd´s neck for nine and a half minutes. In the modern world, this would be considered a Modern lynching according to Arica Coleman, a historian, cultural critic, and author. Police Brutality and Brutality by White Supremecy in the 21st century is modern lynching. White Supremacy places a part in this Modern Lynching, let's take the case of Amhaud Abrey for instance. Amhaud Abrey was killed by a white father and son while Jogging on February 23, 2020.

What can we do about this problem as Black and White American people?

White Americans can recognize their privilege of being white and use their privilege for good. Black Americans can join hands with their White Counterparts in protest and Black Americans can educate their white counterparts about their experiences with the police and what they know about Police Brutality and also learning about anti-black history. We can also defend our democracy by protesting and protecting the protesters. Educate yourself about proposed solutions for example the BREATHE Act a federal bill that would help promote clean water,air,eduitable healthcare and more educational system, also other social benefits. Boycott Companies that support racist ideology.
