  • Systemic Racism, Police Brutality of Black People, and the Use of Violence in Quelling Peaceful Protests in America
    SYSTEMIC RACISM, POLICE BRUTALITY OF BLACK PEOPLE, AND THE USE OF VIOLENCE IN QUELLING PEACEFUL PROTESTS IN AMERICA WILLIAMS C. IHEME* “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” —Martin Luther King Jr Abstract: The Trump Administration and its mantra to ‘Make America Great Again’ has been calibrated with racism and severe oppression against Black people in America who still bear the deep marks of slavery. After the official abolition of slavery in the second half of the nineteenth century, the initial inability of Black people to own land, coupled with the various Jim Crow laws rendered the acquired freedom nearly insignificant in the face of poverty and hopelessness. Although the age-long struggles for civil rights and equal treatments have caused the acquisition of more black-letter rights, the systemic racism that still perverts the American justice system has largely disabled these rights: the result is that Black people continue to exist at the periphery of American economy and politics. Using a functional approach and other types of approach to legal and sociological reasoning, this article examines the supportive roles of Corporate America, Mainstream Media, and White Supremacists in winnowing the systemic oppression that manifests largely through police brutality. The article argues that some of the sustainable solutions against these injustices must be tackled from the roots and not through window-dressing legislation, which often harbor the narrow interests of Corporate America. Keywords: Black people, racism, oppression, violence, police brutality, prison, bail, mass incarceration, protests. Summary: 1. INTRODUCTION: SLAVE TRADE AS THE ENTRY POINT OF SYSTEMIC RACISM.

  • The Origins and Early History of the Dade County Community Relations Board
    5 The Origins and Early History of the Dade County Community Relations Board Raymond A. Mohl Now concluding its fifty-second year, the Dade County Community Relations Board has had a fascinating and sometimes controversial histo­ ry. The CRB idea generally emerged in the postwar era in the context of a national discourse on race, ethnicity, and religion. The Dade County CRB’s founders drew on an important set of ideas known at the time as the “human relations agenda”—ideas developed during World War II and shaped by social science research and conceptualization focused on countering racial prejudice and religious bigotry. In the postwar period, metropolitan Miami experienced a rising level of racial, ethnic, and reli­ gious strife. Although the nation’s top tourist destination in 1950, the Miami area remained deeply southern in its racial attitudes and political culture. The Ku Klux Kian was riding high in the postwar years. Racial tension, street-level violence, arson, even dynamite bombs marked racial­ ly changing neighborhoods in the late 1940s and early 1950s, as African Americans began breaking out of the racially zoned areas that had kept them confine since the early years of the twentieth century. The large postwar Jewish migration to Miami from northern cities—8,000 Jews resided in metro Miami in 1940, rising to 140,000 in 1960—triggered overt anti-Semitism in hotels, clubs, housing, and employment, as well synagogues and Hebrew school bombings. Not surprisingly, Miami entered the postwar era with no human relations tradition. However, some Miamians who thought deeply about such things believed in the promise of the human relations agenda to overcome racial conflict and create a new sense of civic unity.
