Civic Cipher 090421 Ramses Ja & Q Ward

In today's episode, we conduct a critical examination of some of the myths purported to be statistics by many right-wing media outlets in this country. This includes the 13/50 rule…a falsehood that suggests that Black people are responsible for 50% of all violent crime in the U.S. We also examine the relationships that retail stores have with their Black customer base. This includes Target developing surveillance programs with local police departments that ultimately further criminalized or otherwise expelled Black and Brown individuals at a rate of 80% and Whites at a rate of 20%. Furthermore we discuss Walmart locking up only Black hair care products in its stores while leaving all other products available to shoppers to freely choose without the aid of an employee. Our BABA cites Fred Savage and his role in the new Wonder Years TV program and our Ebony Excellence discusses Dr. Dwandalyn Reece and the Smithsonian for creating the anthology of Hip-Hop and Rap that explains why Hip-Hop conquered the world.
