10 Things
1. There needs to be a re-evaluation of media outlet restrictions and court proceedings. The fallout from high profile cases including the Casey Anthony and Trayvon Martin, are only high profile because of media outlets agenda setting. Notice black on black travesties are never given notice? It leads to these special cases being used as a heuristic, or simple logical bridge, in order for the viewer to get a sense of generally occurring phenomenon. 90%+ of African-American murders are committed by other African-Americans. (Due to structural deficiencies.)
2. Most crime is proportionally committed by Africa-Americans in the US. (Due to high poverty and other structural biases.)
3. African-Americans are attributed with crime, poverty, and other defective statuses as it relates to neoliberal paternalism. Meaning, the state seeks to punish those of the state that are "defective", and African Americans, as disproportionately impoverished, and therefore, more likely to commit crimes, are labeled and perceived as defective. The condition of being black is therefore transposed as being defective/criminal.
4. Volatile reactions in mobilized African-American groups only increases this perception of defectiveness.
5. Leaders of African American groups should be responsible for inciting volatility in many instances...therefore harming all groups, especially African Americans.
6. The distribution of welfare penalties and crime sentencing should be equal; it is not according to the major Race and Ethnicity literature in APSA and APSR. Blacks are highly penalized, being perceived as less deserving (more likely to remain defective, this is at a subconscious level.)
7. Adding to the point above, most laws, MOST laws, are neutral to race...rather, the implementation of law and policy contribute to biasness, and subsequently, African-American volatility. (Including law enforcement, education, welfare, among others.)
8. Back to the Furguson case, the riots are causing more damage, and the incitement of the riots can be blamed by many parties including, newsmedia, history of legislative and court decisions allowing newsmedia to cover cases with leaning and misleading information (regardless of right/left media), inept police training, biases of bureacracy policy implementation, black interest groups and political leaders, ect. ect. ect.
9. Interest groups, unions, organizations or collectives of any kind and at any level (local, state, national), should be institutionalized in a way that encourages multiethnic membership, and a decrease in these collectives that exclude (implicitly or not) any membership based on race. This includes African-American groups. Groups that don't actively recruit (or exclude) African-Americans should have compulsory mandates that encourage integration.
The idea is, when groups, which are collectives with similar interests are formed Social contact, is solidified as more positive, since groups seek mutual interests. Further, identity to race we perceive of ourselves and others is diluted. Much like the transformation of the racialized white ethnic enclaves during the Industrial Era, to the present, in which, ethnic conflict is not prevalent in the US. Though, the skin color, a visibly distinct difference, makes the dilution of ethnic fractionalization a more difficult task.
10. Integration policies have largely failed since social contact IS NOT preceded by forming a common interest or identity among groups.
