“We have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it.”
This quote means the racial caste hasn’t been eliminated but still exists somehow, which we don’t realize. It’s alarming when I found out about the jail system and the aftermath of how they are treated. As Alexander states, “They are legally denied the ability to obtain employment, housing, and public benefits—much as African Americans were once forced into a segregated, second-class citizenship in the Jim Crow era.” In other words, the belief of how African Americans are were treated still exists and hasn’t been forgotten about. I believe this is true. Jails are built to take away their freedom. Besides helping people, they treat them as animals and not a normal human being.
It is true. The government found a way to make it seem like they got rid of the corruption by hiding it or not making it so clear.
