Police Brutality
African Americans are disproportionately affected by police brutality and are often targeted by law enforcement officers in a discriminatory manner. This has resulted in a justified distrust of the police in African American communities.
Racial Profiling
African Americans are regularly subjected to racial profiling, including being stopped and searched by the police without reasonable suspicion.
Voter Suppression
African Americans continue to face voter suppression, including voter ID laws, gerrymandering, and purging of voter rolls. These tactics are designed to intimidate and discourage African Americans from participating in the democratic process.
Housing Discrimination
African Americans are victims of discrimination in housing, including redlining, steering, and discriminatory lending practices. This has resulted in limited access to safe and affordable housing, and has contributed to the concentration of poverty in African American communities.
Economic Discrimination
African Americans face economic discrimination in the workplace and in the broader economy, including wage disparities, limited access to education and job training opportunities, and discrimination in hiring and promotion practices.
