Terrorism in black communities in NY



Terrorism isn’t just a major factor all over the world. It plays a major role right here within or communities in New York City. Not because of the events that token place on September 11th but from the stereotypes that are brought up against young African American males. I being an African American male can tell u personally we are targeted by the NYPD and various stores.
We are targeted by the police department because of other criminals. One person can’t represent a whole race. That’s unfair to us and it’s also racist. The NYPD have murdered two innocent men within less than 8 years apart with releasing over 40 shots at the suspects. Both of the suspect where unharmed just going about their business. Now that doesn’t sound fair, when have u heard of incidents like these happening to white Americans? Rarely or never. That’s only two incidents like this for New York. Now personally being black and going into certain stores you feel like someone is always looking at you. They say African Americans shop lift the most out of any other race groups. It quite obvious if u target one group instead of all the stats is going to be higher for us. Before America try to fix problems elsewhere the need to start in their community. R.I.P Sean Bell and Amadou Diallo.
