From George Floyd to Tyre Nichols to thousands of others, African-Americans are regularly victimized by document cases of police brutality. Black on black abuse is tragically too common, with its roots in poverty and economic disadvantage, the historical legacy of trauma from slavery, segregation, and separation of families, lack of resources such as quality education, health care, and employment.

African Americans experience verbal abuse in a number of ways. These include racial slurs, name-calling, and bullying, and microaggressions which are subtle, often unconscious, forms of verbal abuse that can harm African-Americans on the basis of their race. African Americans regularly experience more direct forms of verbal abuse, such as shouting, swearing, and threatening statements, which cause fear and intimidation.
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, African American women experience intimate partner violence at a rate 35% higher than white women. FBI records shows a significant portion of all hate crimes committed in the United States are directed at African-Americans. The homicide rate for African Americans is nearly six times higher than the rate for whites. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, African Americans account for 44% of all victims of assault in the United States.
Lynching is notorious for being a widely used form of violence and terrorism against African Americans in the United States. It is dangerous to think of this as a thing of the past; since 2000, there have been at least eight suspected lynchings of Black men and teenagers in Mississippi alone. The legacy of these atrocities continues to impact African American communities and serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality.
