Do you agree with this statement? "Law enforcement efforts became targeted on poor communities of color" (Killak 38, The New Jim Crow, 5:35). The New Jim Crow exposes a truth about the current state of society when it comes to those who are Black. Although the Jim Crow laws may not exist anymore, the reality is that they have been replaced with laws that still put those who are Black into a state of oppression. This is due to the fact that the foundation of America has made it so that many Black families and other minorities live in poverty and in poorer communities. Due to this truth, law enforcement now targets these communities and has created new laws simply to target them and have many Black people in jail. This is terrible and needs to be stopped but it is clear that America will do anything to have those who are Black oppressed?
1) True
2) False
