"That's true but I think the contemporary problem that we are facing increasing numbers of black people and other people of color being thrown into a status that involves work in alternative economies and increasing numbers of people who are incarcerated"

This quote by Angela Davis speaks to the modern problem of the increasing numbers of black individuals and other individuals of color being pushed into alternative economies and the criminal justice system. This is a direct outcome of systemic racism and inequality that has actually been embedded in our society for centuries. This quote highlights the requirement for us to address the underlying problems that are triggering this issue, such as hardship, absence of access to education and employment opportunities, and the criminalization of individuals of color. It is important that we do something about it to make sure that everyone has the same chances and access to resources, despite their race or ethnic background. We should also work to take apart the systems of injustice that have actually remained in location for so long. Only then can we produce a more fair and simply society.
