So, what do you think? Comment on the documentary The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution.
Like we said in class, not much has changed in the light of racial prejudice and injustice. There aren't laws that explicitely target a minority, but it is perhaps more dangerous not too. There is no solid, written, legislative actions but there are so many instances where the judicial and law enforcement systems target minorities unjustly. It is harder to combat a hidden monster because so many believe it all ended in the 60's during the Civil Rights Movement. There is a huge issue with criminalization of minorities that leads to police brutality and mass incarceration that negatively impacts an entire race and community. These injustices are not written as laws but are still so heavily prevalent. These things apply to a lot of different minority groups, not just African-Americans, so now these issues are widespread.
