Summary of Angela J. Davis's Policing the Black Man
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The racial narrative in America has created a presumption of guilt and dangerousness for people of color, which has been applied to the criminal justice system.
#2 The issue of racially motivated police violence or racial disparities in sentencing cannot be viewed as a consequence of bad police officers or racially biased judges. There are deep historical forces that have created the problems clearly seen in America's criminal justice system.
#3 Color has always been the defining feature that shaped the cultural, social, political, and economic development of the United States. The indigenous people that Europeans encountered in America were not white, and white settlers viewed them as inferior and unworthy of the wealth and resources this land possessed.
#4 American slavery was unique in many ways compared to other forms of slavery around the world. It was not a permanent, hereditary status tied to race, but a system of forced labor that grew from and reinforced racial prejudice.
