I argue that there is an ongoing criminalization against young black males in America which stems from the fear of black masculinity "destroying" white hetero-normative ideals. ]]> 2018-05-21 03:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262257778 ramirez_j33 https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262258341 Throughout Ken Burns' film, we see news clippings and headlines surrounding the case claiming that the young boys caught in the park that night were "wilding". The media coined the term after the arrests and went on to call the group of boys "wolfpacks".The media was able to seize on the fears of people and the term "wilding" was the new bestial characterization of the black man.]]> 2018-05-21 03:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262258341 ramirez_j33 https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262258622 In the case of the Central Park jogger, it became a nationwide headline because of the severity of the attack and the race & class components as well. One must notice the division between blacks and whites not only socially, but geographically as well. ]]> 2018-05-21 03:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262258622 ramirez_j33 https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262259074 This was a proxy war being fought and these young men were the proxies for all kinds of other agendas. This case had a tremendous set of problems. Let me start with the detectives, and the confessions they forced out of the boys. No blood on the suspects, no DNA, no witnesses, nothing. They even had an alibi. All the prosecution had was the coerced confessions. Those came from the detectives, and the detectives in this case were not what detectives should be.]]> 2018-05-21 03:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262259074 ramirez_j33 https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262259988 How i felt about the Central park was that the five boys were innocent all along and they were sentenced to jail for multiple years when it wasn't actually their fault and it makes me mad that they spent their years in jail when they were always innocent. ]]> 2018-05-21 03:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262259988 ramirez_j33 https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262378178 2018-05-21 14:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262378178 ramirez_j33 https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262485957 2018-05-21 19:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262485957 ramirez_j33 https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262486941 2018-05-21 19:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262486941 ramirez_j33 https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262488295 2018-05-21 19:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ramirez_j33/58807igp6t2n/wish/262488295
