#politics #perspective Post Civil War: African Americans supported the republican party for 110 years, due to its support of African American issues and abolitionist support. And after the civil war support for the placement if African American in political positions. The democratic party however reacted violently to this support, and removed African American politicians and supporters through violence, threats, blocking polling stations and by supporting the implementation of voting retraction laws. Reconstruction: The work of abolitionist made fruit by the freedom of the slaves by a republican president after the war the appointment of African Americans in political positions was a huge step for equality. But this progress was largely undone by the brutal tactics by democratic party. Process was slowed further by the democratic party by the election of Andrew Johnson. Republican power was somewhat restored by the election of Ulysses S. Grant. But grant do Little for civil rights with old democrats making up a majority of house senate blocking any type of reform to better African American lives. Jim Crow: Woodrow Wilson didn't help - democrat. Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge were both republican, but were focused on other things (women's suffrage and scandal). But not on African American issues. Even with the republican party having majority in both the senate and house during those times, not much progress in racial equality was made. WW2 Starting in 1869 African American support for the republican party began to shift gradually to the democratic party. Most notably in the 1940s during the Roosevelt administration - democrat (thanks mostly to the war and his wife). After, nothing notable transpired until the Eisenhower administration - republican.

#justicesystem According to the Georgia Innocence Project, wrongful convictions are a deeply rooted problem in the United States, with an estimated 4-6% of people incarcerated in US prisons being actually innocent. Source The causes of wrongful convictions are multifaceted and include issues such as eyewitness error, overzealous or unethical police and prosecutors, false and coerced confessions and improper interrogations, inappropriate use of jailhouse informants, ineffective assistance of counsel, forensic errors, incompetence, and fraud, and the adversarial system. Source The Equal Justice Initiative has pointed out that the legacy of racial injustice in America has evolved into the widespread presumption that people of color are suspicious, dangerous, and criminal. Source This insidious, implicit racial bias creates perceptions and presumptions that play out continuously in societal interactions with the criminal enforcement system and can manifest as the following actions directed toward Black and Brown people in America: Source Formation of unwarranted suspicions in everyday situations Inaccurate assumptions of criminal activity when there is none Routine arrests based on weaker evidence than someone implicitly presumed innocent, harmless, or with access to power and influence Rampant criminalization (with excessive sentences) of actions that disproportionately impact Black and Brown people Erroneously, unfairly, unjustly, and/or inequitably prosecuting, convicting, imprisoning, keeping imprisoned, and controlling upon re-entry The systemic nature of the overall failure is evident in the fact that the current criminal justice system is designed to punish rather than rehabilitate, and it disproportionately affects people of color. To find solutions to our wrongful conviction problem, we must dig deeper into these structural and systemic causes and work towards creating a more equitable and just society. Source The statistics related to wrongful convictions, and to race and wrongful convictions, are profoundly disturbing and illustrative of a deeply rooted problem. Studies estimate that between 4-6% of people incarcerated in US prisons are actually innocent.

#justicesystem According to a report by the National Registry of Exonerations, black people in the United States are seven times more likely than white people to be falsely convicted of serious crimes, more likely to be the targets of police misconduct, and spend longer in prison before being exonerated. Source The report also highlights that there are large racial disparities in the number of wrongful convictions based on eyewitness misidentifications of Black versus White defendants. In addition to the contribution of own-race biases in eyewitness identification, differences in policing Black and White suspects likely also contribute to these disparities. Source Innocent Black people are 19 times more likely to be wrongly convicted of drug crimes. A new report on race and wrongful convictions has confirmed some alarming racial disparities in the criminal legal system.
