“...the Zimmerman mindset that views black men and boys as a perpetual problem to be dealt with has infected our criminal justice system, infected our schools, has infected our politics in ways that have had disastrous consequences, birthing a prison system unprecedented in world history, and stripping millions of people of basic civil and human rights. It’s this mindset that some of us, defined largely by race and class, are unworthy of our basic care and concern and can be dealt with harshly, written off with impunity,” she continued." ~Ohio State University Law Professor Michelle Alexander. She is the author of the best-selling book “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.”
