This show is about Poverty in America, and America's answer to poverty being incarceration. Also we will be discussing the unfairness of the criminal justice system for Black Americans, blatant racial profiling by police officers,  main stream media and Blacks. We will discuss the importance of including a 500-year view of the Black American experience and the traumatic effects of colonization, slavery, early Jim Crow, and today's Jim Crow. We will also discuss reparations for Black Americans.
