8. Jim Crow Still Stands Today
"People are swept into the criminal justice system — particularly in poor communities of color — at very early ages ... typically for fairly minor, nonviolent crimes," - Michelle Alexander says.
In her book The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, legal scholar Michelle Alexander writes that many of the gains of the civil rights movement have been undermined by the mass incarceration of black Americans in the war on drugs. She says that although Jim Crow laws are now off the books, millions of blacks arrested for minor crimes remain marginalized and disfranchised, trapped by a criminal justice system that has forever branded them as felons and denied them basic rights and opportunities that would allow them to become productive, law-abiding citizens

9. She says... People are still targeted based on: color environment age
income
Michelle says that people are still targeted by their color, people today think because one black man robs a old woman that the next black man they see is a suspect of a crime that he has not even thought of committing.
They are also targeted in poor neighborhoods and by their age.

10. Racial Profiling
Racial profiling is the use of an individual’s race or ethnicity by law enforcement personnel as a key factor in deciding whether to engage in enforcement
Racial profiling is illegal in many jurisdictions but is seen in some cases.
this is an example of how we still connect Jim Crow laws to todays society.
