Your Skin Colour Is NOT a Crime!
Throughout the years, the USA have been notorious for ignoring the bigoted attitudes police officers have towards the Black community and how the government fails to protect all citizens no matter the colour of their skin. Despite the constitution, news reports consistently represent African American males as the perpetrator rather than the victim; this in stark comparison to their male Caucasian counterparts. The media portrays these human beings as always being involved with police when an crime arises and creates false representation of the community as a whole. Current crime coverage chooses to focus on the crime itself rather than who commits these crimes, therefore generating a distorted perspective on biased assumptions. The overrepresentation of Caucasians as a victim of crimes perpetrated by minorities only exaggerates the crimes actually committed by African Americans and downplays their victimisation in society.
