Non-black Latinx individuals have 1.6 times the severity of a drug-related charge.

Single stories of black individuals can perpetuate stereotypes.

Not only affects black Americans but any country in the world that has black individuals residing within them.

Telling more stories and recognizing the true values of black and African peoples can stop stereotypes and arguably end specified targeting of the demographic.

Afro-Latinos or Black-Latinx individuals are impacted as much as black individuals in the prison system.

If the person looks black, then they will be targeted and share the same fate as any other non-latinx black individuals.
