I learned that sometimes felons lose their right to vote once they're released from prison

I learned that there are more incarcerated African Americans now, then the amount of
slaves before the Civil War

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree with the argument because now whites arrest African Americans more then any other race and they will stop them just to do a quick shakedown, they pick on the one race and they find themselves in charge because of a piece of metal called a 'badge'.

One that I can think of is that there is a border for Mexicans that the Mexicans cannot pass because they do not have a little thing called a 'green card' to be allowed to go into the U.S. So when they try to escape there home, they can be harmed or killed.

I've never had any personal experience with anyone who was affected by the mass incarceration system.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that after being set free criminals lose the right to vote, the right to serve on juries and the right to be free of legal discrimination and also that what we supposedly left behind during the Jim Crow era are legal again.

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree with the argument because now there are more African Americans in jail then there was more slaves back in the day and there are more African American men who are denied the right to vote now then there was in the 1870's.

A modern day Jim Crow that I can think of is discrimination against different races based on where they come from and the language they speak, they get told that since it's America English should be the only language we speak.

I have never had any personal experience with or know someone that has been affected by the mass incarcerated system.

Drug conviction alone accounts for 2/3 of the increase in federal prison.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the argument that the current system of mass incarceration is just a modern day version of earlier systems of racial control. Based on the speech, the system of mass incarceration seems to focus on African American rather than white people who are more likely to participate in drug dealing and abusing.

No

# data[].attributes.body
There are more African Americans in prison or correctional facilities, than African Americans that were enslaved in 1850.

# data[].attributes.body
I do believe the argument of current systems of mass incarceration is just a modern day version of earlier systems of racial control, based on the speech, it was stated that one million kids are likely to think they will go to prison throughout their life. Most of those kids would be African American. But there is less focus for whites since they will be likely to deal drugs and etc

A modern day "Jim Crow law" would be for hispanics that are from countries like Mexico, Dominican Republic, or countries in South America that require a "green card"

# data[].attributes.body
No

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that there are forfeiture laws that allow the government to keep up to 80% of all belongings seized from the suspected/ convicted drug offenses, allowing the money from selling property and cars can cycle to the government.

I do agree that the system of mass incarceration in America is a new way to target racial groups. I have seen my mother (who is white) get pulled over for having no tags and a taillight out and still be allowed to leave with a warning. But my stepdad, and father (who are black) have been pulled over without being told the reason and asked to step out of the car without probable cause. Being "stopped, frisked, and searched" as Mrs. Alexander explains it. I can only imagine what would have happened if I wasn't there. Speeding or having a taillight out aren't nearly as serious as a drug offense, and yet, we see the mannerisms in all faucets of law enforcement.

# data[].attributes.body
I am unaware of any laws, but there are social rules that many live by that discounts all non-white racial groups. There is discrimination given to Hispanics, Asians, Blacks, and the list goes on and on.

Not recently, but in the past, my stepfather had been incarcerated for non-violent drug charges, as well.

One new thing I learned from the TED Talk in these times, there are more African American males who are under correctional control or in jail then there were slaves in the 1800's.

# data[].attributes.body
My dad, before he passed away, was in and out of the system and most times it was a technical violation" of his probation that he went back to jail for so I experienced that firsthand.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I do agree with the argument that the current system is similar o the racial control system of the past because people but "black people" in the bubble and they profile people of color. The same thing happened during the Jim Crow Era. History in some way is repeating itself.

# data[].attributes.body
I can't think of any current modern "Jim Crow Laws" that exist today.

# data[].attributes.body
a modern "Jim crow law" is if your from a different country you need a visa or green card to stay in the u.s.

# data[].attributes.body
no i have not had any experiences

# data[].attributes.body
In 2004 more black men were denied the right to vote than in 1870, which was the year the 15th amendment was approved to prohibiting laws that deny the right to vote on your race

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree with the argument that the current system of mass incarceration is just a modern day version of earlier system of racial control. They focus more on African Americans than white people. They would stop an African american who can be simply walking home and they will be stopped, searched and interrogated and most likely go to jail for a minor non violent crime

# data[].attributes.body
i learned that today's felon disenfranchisement laws in many sates have accomplished what the poll taxes started.

# data[].attributes.body
i do agree with the argument that todays system of mass incarceration is just a modern day version of the Jim Crow Era. i think this because as said in the speech that some states today have accomplished the poll taxes that were started during the Jim Crow Era. there is still racial profiling going on today, history just recreated itself.

i have not had any personal experiences, other than things shown on the news or on social media.

Modern day laws targeted to other races is the need for visas or green cards, crossing boarders.
