There was some information here that I was already aware of, and I also learned new things. I didn't realize that Red Lining was Government policy. I thought it was a term to describe discriminatory practices but not government sanctioned. Well, I'm here to learn. Also, I was blown away at the link between the Gassing of Mexican people crossing the border and the Nazi holocaust. When I signed up for this course I figured I would already know most of the information but I'm learning and glad to be taking the course.
The link between poverty, lack of power, and incarceration is clear. Police officers have their eye on people of color, it puts them in a vulnerable position to be arrested, and receive unfair treatment in the criminal justice system.
