Question

Essay on institutional racism or systemic racism

Answer 1

Answer:

Police officers don’t just wake up one day and decide that they want to shoot a person of color.  We’ve all been socialized to see people of color as dangerous, criminal, and less than. Those narratives are widely perpetuated in the media (for example, media reports on crime often depict Black victims as more aggressive than White perpetrators of violence). It makes us more likely to be fearful of young Black men — even if they’re unarmed, or only holding a toy gun.

When you combine that outlook with power, the result can be deadly. Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Alton Sterling, and Philando Castile are proof of that.
