Q 1: M. Alexander argues how the United States justice system is corrupt and is in desperation for a revival to ensure fairness for the future. She states the drastic increase of people of color’s incarcerations interconnected with a disproportionate amount relegating to second class status; in turn, leading to mass incarceration which is a unfortunate outcome that thrives in racial oppression stemming to slavery.

Q 2: Pertaining to the drug abuse industry’s modernized stats, there has been a vivid spike in reports linked in substantial connections between illegal drug use and non-drug related criminal activity. While this connection has statistically decreased when different factors including socio-economic status, class, age, sex, and ethnicity are regulated, it’s quite clear that this connection between incarceration rates with racial disparities isn’t focusing on drug crime rates. All factors must be taken into account with all focal points.

Q 3: To me, these words shine a light to elaborate on the justice system we see today being puppeteered by people with simply opposing beliefs regarding their ideology about race. Take the population of people of color and contemplate how they have been pinned as the poster people for being magnetized to crime; crime is not limited to people of color, but more so a vast variety of hues, shapes, and names that are a melting pot of diversity.
