why inequality in criminal justice system bad for our

society
BlackLivesMatterthe activist group that demands a racial
justice agenda that includes constant criticism and activism
against police. Black Lives Matter is a unique contribution
that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of Black people by
police and vigilantes. In 2013, Alicia co-founded of
#BlackLivesMatter, an online platform developed after the
murder of Trayvon Martin, designed to connect people
interested in learning more about and fighting back against
anti-Black racism
the reason that the organizers used the phrase 'Black Lives
Matter' was not because they were suggesting nobody else's
lives matter. Rather, what they were suggesting was there is a
specific problem that's happening in the African-American
community that's not happening in other communities.

Job Opportunity

Interesting facts
The black unemployment rate has consistently been twice as high as the white unemployment rate for
50 years. black 12.6% white 6.6%
Blacks also typically have lower incomes than whites, which also makes it harder for them to save and build
wealth. The median income for black households is less than 60% that of white ones
The jobless rate for blacks is twice that of whites the gap has been at least that large for years.

Why is inequality in job opportunity bad

For the past few years, Americans have been
engaged in two big public conversations about
inequality. Much of the progress in the workplace
and in schools that African Americans have made
since the 1964 Civil Rights Act has now ground to
a halt, or worse. Blacks are nearly three times as
likely to be poor as whites and more than twice as
likely to be unemployed.Compared to whites with
the same qualifications, blacks remain less likely
to be hired and more likely to earn lower wages, to
be charged higher prices for consumer goods, to
be excluded from housing in white neighborhoods,
and to be denied mortgages into the subprime
market.

Education system

Interesting facts
In 2012, 21 percent of blacks had a college degree and 31 percent of whites did, meaning the gap grew from 6
percentage points to 10 percentage points
Black students were expelled at three times the rate of white students.
Black students were more than three times as likely to attend schools where fewer than 60 percent of teachers
meet all state certification and licensure requirements.
the well-known gap between the test scores of black and white students is now seen as an important way to reduce
economic and other forms of inequality

Why inequality in education system bad

Colleges across the nation are striving to increase their
socioeconomic and ethnic diversity, but the significantly lower
graduation rates of black and Latino students as opposed to
white and Asian American students are proof that there are
educational disparities between races. Schools that the

most disadvantaged black children attend are

segregated because they are located in segregated
high-poverty neighborhoods, far distant from truly
middle-class neighborhoods.This school segregation
mostly reflects neighborhood segregation. In urban
areas, low-income white students are more likely to
be integrated into middle-class neighborhoods and
less likely to attend school predominantly with other
disadvantaged students.
