The Criminal Hoax
America is the land of the free. America was created with the idea to give men and women an equal chance for striving for greatness; no matter gender nor religion. Blood sweet and tears were poured into building America, countless live scarified so we could be proclaimed a free county. Although we are a victories nation, sometimes are methods became extremely cricked. So, what exactly happens when the land of the free becomes a land of incarnation. What happens to those specific individuals that are falsely accused of irrational crimes. The prison systems in America are at an all-time high, police brutality is frightening on the rise, and mass shootings and dangerous gangs are snowballing. What does America do? They victimize and idolize a group and individuals not on their morals but their race. African Americas are experiencing a mass incarceration and America does not realize the fact. I will be proving if this so-called mass incarceration is a myth created by the African American culture or is it true.
My foremost used rhetical analysis will cover a novel named “living black”. Living Black attempts to break down stereotypes of the poor black American neighborhoods. As America may classify these ghettos as dysfunctional and underprivileged neighborhoods there is real poverty. Taken place in the streets of North End of Champaign, Illinois only miles away from the most notorious streets of Chicago. The Arthur doesn’t input his own desires and opinions. As describe in the book “teen moms aren’t desired, school dropouts aren’t ridiculed, and parolees and ex-cons aren’t scorned” (Fleisher 4). I really admire this book because Mark Fleisher shows the daily life’s in these cruel neighborhoods through his interviewers with Ma and Burpee.
Mark Fleisher cleverly dissect the everyday life of an African American male living in America, the land of the free. He divides his book into eight chapters each cleverly diving deeper into the social problem in America. Although both individuals are both criminals in their own ways it does not answer the question are African American male’s criminals, it only gives the stories of these particular individuals and the life they we giving. Fleisher gives a tremendous number of examples and different situations. He makes you understand there is a problem in America without persuading the reader in any directions. Religion, social life, and dreams are only same examples that white American and black American may come to equal terms with. I believe since African American males are the minority in the typically white American we as a race are under looked and not appreciated. We have not been giving the respect to worked to deviously for. Fleisher breaks down all these reasoning behind why African American males may be misunderstood and punished for our differences.
Music is a huge focal point for African Americans to show their true interest and culture. Music not only for African Americans but all races to express one’s self. Music can also make you happy. Some people when they are listening to music the music makes you dance. Music is powerful in many other ways that could take your feelings away. The important thing that the music takes your feelings when you are sad, nervous, or when tour happy and the music makes you happier. Rap and R&B and both majority African American. These two genres are increasing with popularity every year the more all types of races continue to listen. But there is also African American music that is not mainstream and majority of it is underground. Gangster rap. Vogler, gang violence, and the ideology of crime is the basic of gangster rap.
G Herbo is a Chicago gangster rapper who effortlessly and beautifully describes his rough child hood in the uncaring streets of Chicago. He recently created an album titled “Humble Beast”. Humble beast has a thirteen-track playlist. A song that greatly caught my attention was the song “Malcolm”. Malcolm dramatically paints a picture of living in the slums and the challenges that face a young African male in America. Herbo describes the young man’s life as a movie treabliy gone wrong instance after instance. Faced with poor living conditions, a drug overcame mother and not many family to help with his development into a man. Without correct parental control Malcolm loses control to the persuasive streets of Chicago. He describes as this man’s heroes as drug dealers and murders. I love this song because G Herbo does not judge Malcolm, but simply understand his struggle. Herbo paints a picture of why Malcolm makes the choices he makes and why is it not as easy as the white America portrays.
Another huge rhetical analysis I will cover is over a Netflix original movie called 13th. 13th is a novel prize winner for several categories. 13th is a 2016 American documentary that explored the intersection of race in American. Why is race such a huge contribution in the way American life is conducted. Justice, mass incarcerations and wrongful punishments have increased the need for more prisoners. 13th is cleverly titled after the thirteenth amendment to the united states of America. The thirteenth amendment is purely responsible for the freedom of slaves. 13th takes the viewer though a time laps of history and achievements. Are darkest times of Americans.
DuVernay’s documentary brings some extremely discouraging facts into the argument. Are African Americans criminals? Using the numerical factors of our prison numbers DuVernay persuades the viewer to deeper understand race in America. Stating that the United States may only have five percent of the world’s population, but carries twenty-five percent of the world’s prisoners is clearly a problem. But why, why does America need so many prisoners? Are Americans this devious being that the majority will spend time behind cell doors? Dissecting what exactly does the 13th amendment cover? And lastly how has the social development from the civil war continued to dismissions African American males.
