I still don't get why someone is called african american when there is not Irish american or Jewish american.
It's all institutionalized racism: make it harder to disappear. Why? Because you create political jobs, you open space for manipulators.
Wrong.

It is very well documented that young African Americans commit crimes at roughly the same rates as other races yet are more likely to be arrested and serve hard time than any other race. Black Lives Matter is a movement attempting to call attention to this fact. It is a necessary and wholly appropriate response to a system that has clearly let an entire segment of the population down.
