Pre Cold War Analysis

The United States pre-cold war era saw many dramatic changes in our way of life. Before the cold war we were a country that led the world in such innovations as trains, planes, and automobiles. We were a world superpower with enigmatic scientists such as Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison. We had people who dared to defy the odds like the Tuskegee airmen, the Wright brothers and Amelia Earhart. We were the focal point of the world for decades leading the world in technology and progress. Yet, now we have a dirty little secret so dark and disturbing that as a nation we should be ashamed. Because as of the twenty-first century, we lead the world in the amount of incarcerated people. This originally started to surface in
the 1980s with the opening statement of an incredulous speech from President Regan of a war on drugs. Many people wondered back then how you could have a war on drugs when these narcotics where already in cities like the flood of the Old Testament. Many people didn’t have access to weapons or narcotics like cocaine. They soon started to speculate that these dangerous life threating increments of destruction where coming from inside the country. It turns out that through the Iran-Contra affair those in the CIA where solely responsible for one of the greatest genocides of the twenty-first century. These is a little known fact, well hidden in secrecy and behind curtains of diplomacy.
Somehow between drug smuggling and the Regan administrations support, the Columbian rebels where receiving funding. Educated people still wonder how the two are connected. They speculated that with Reagan publicly stating their administration helped the Columbian rebels with funding, that the government somehow had to be involved. The involvement of individuals like “Freeway” Rick Ross who eventually discovered his hook-up was connected to the CIA, only helped to strengthen the evidence that the Government was somehow involved. So, what purposes would the government have in destroying communities and their way of life? Many people can only provide theories and guesses into their true intentions. I believe that with the losses they had in the civil rights movement they wanted to destroy the African American public image. Yet, doing this at a genocidal level solely picking out minorities and those in poverty to push their methods of euthanasia on, is a critical mistake of
humankind. How can you possibly give those who suffer finically and racially a means to self-destruction?
To answer this you would have to understand that we had to fill prisons so those who own them could make a profit. What better way to make a finical gain then through human suffering? The only variables you would have to account for is how to lock up all of these individuals. Well that’s why you have weapons and narcotics, to support a purpose, a reason, to lock up these people. Now, comes the sentencing once you arrest these individuals, you have to determine how long to incarcerate them. So, why not target those individuals which much of the country still sees as a problem and give them longer sentences. Many of these cases still sadly occur today with social targeting of minorities through propaganda and stereotypical mental forethought. Let’s try an experiment, turn on the news and watch the time, count how long from the time you turn on the television, to the time when you hear something stereotypical about a certain race or about police brutality. The point I’m trying to make is that it’s substantial, you will hear
something.
Take this approach and apply it toward a judicial system and you will see it almost all the time. It’s how we went from being the world leader in technology to the world leader in incarceration. Now, if you take a more in-depth insight into the prison system you will notice something incredibly shocking. Which is that minorities make up thirty percent of the population of America, yet sixty percent of the prison system. People wake up and quit being ignorant if you don’t notice an incredulous problematic situation, then you are socially blind. How is it that while white kids and minorities approach the same drugs, around the same age, they both sell, they both are endangering the community, yet they both serve completely different sentences. These situations don’t coalign, from an outside source they look drastically different. When a minority receives a longer sentence for the exact same crime as the majority. Then it’s a disgrace to our constitution and a stain on the symbolic meaning of our country. You can see it in the educational system of the poverty imploded locations of inner cities a.k.a “ghettos.” It’s a proven fact students in these locations receive poorer grades as a whole then the rest of the country. Is that due to student intelligence or a lack of educational teaching methods by faculty? It’s one of the main reasons there’s a huge dropout rate in these poverty stricken areas. Which leads to more children hitting the streets and eventually becoming criminals.
What could possibly be the remedy for such a disease, the antidote is simple, yet complex. We must as a country take an approach to remake our judicial system into one of fairness and equality. Either by replacing those in command or by giving seminars to those in command. In which they will be taught to look at these young men and women collectively as a singularity in the complex organism that is our country. We must have officers who will pursue actually criminals and not place innocent individuals in prison. We must have judges who will come from other jurisdictions to make an un-biased decision on a case. So, as you read this document reflectively think to yourself what can I do to medicate this diagnosis of social injustice in the judicial systems of America? It is our generation who have the opportunity of age to gain the experience to fix issues that have afflicted our country for generations. While you consume yourself with this opportunity I’ve presented before you think about one singular outcome. The betterment of the future for our descendants to inhabit a country that can proudly wave its flag in a united nation not in name, but in identity. A country that can prove it doesn’t have to lead in such critically devastating factors.
