Equal Representation? Not in Nebraska!
Nebraska Courts assign White attorneys to "represent" Black people
in criminal court, but not to "defend" Black people!

 

How bad is it? Consider the following:

Over the past decade the number of violent crime has been going down, but ... the rate of incarceration, especially for people of color, has not. Why is that?

How have crime rates in the U.S. changed over time? As reported by PEW Research, both the FBI and BJS (Bureau of Justice Statistics) data show dramatic declines in U.S. violent and property crime rates since the early 1990s, when crime spiked across much of the nation. Using the FBI data, the violent crime rate fell 49% between 1993 and 2022, with large decreases in the rates of robbery (-74%), aggravated assault (-39%) and murder/nonnegligent manslaughter (-34%). It’s not possible to calculate the change in the rape rate during this period because the FBI revised its definition of the offense in 2013.
Most of the crimes that are reported to police, meanwhile, are not solved, at least based on an FBI measure known as the clearance rate. That’s the share of cases each year that are closed, or “cleared,” through the arrest, charging and referral of a suspect for prosecution, or due to “exceptional” circumstances such as the death of a suspect or a victim’s refusal to cooperate with a prosecution. In 2022, police nationwide cleared 36.7% of violent crimes that were reported to them and 12.1% of the property crimes that came to their attention. In 2022, those who are male, younger people and those who are Black accounted for considerably larger shares of perceived offenders in violent incidents than their respective shares of the U.S. population. Men, for instance, accounted for 79% of perceived offenders in violent incidents, compared with 49% of the nation’s 12-and-older population that year. Black Americans accounted for 25% of perceived offenders in violent incidents, about twice their share of the 12-and-older population (12%). Again, over the past decade the number of violent crime has been going down, but ... the rate of incarceration, especially for people of color, has not. Why is that?

Here's why!

 

Again, here's why!
Cradle to grave, nothing has changed.

That's right, White men, who represent a
constantly shrinking population of 30% or less,
have always dictated every law, every rule,
every policy. This "systemic privilege" is not
evidence of a democratic republic, but validates
the perpetual existence of crony capitalism.

Or, given that the incarceration of Black people will continue to increase, as conveyed in 2008, it's probably best for Black people, especially Black men, to leave Nebraska AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

I welcome your feedback.
