How to End the Mass Incarceration of Black Americans

 Peace be unto you reader. Lately, I am noticing a lot of talk about ending the mass incarceration pandemic plaguing this country against Black or African-Americans. This post will not be about the mass incarcerations because there is more than enough information out here about this epidemic and plenty of advocates protesting against this matter. What this post will be about is what I believe is the 1st step that needs to be taken that will assist in the aid of Black Americans here in the UNITED STATES of AMERICA INCORPORATED  against these types of apartheid practices. I once again must refer back to this country becoming signatories of the ICSPCA. (International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid.

All of the statistics are available, and the numbers tell the true story. Numbers will always tell you the truth; even when one attempts to falsify the numbers to tell a different story; numbers are self-correcting and any lies or miscalculations will eventually show up and expose the faults. Here in this country, they can apply apartheid policies or practice apartheid style laws and actions because they are not bound to the jurisdiction of the international law against crimes of apartheid. Looking into the history of this country, and looking at the statistics of today on the unbalanced numbers of Black Americans incarcerated, unemployed, in poverty, abortion rates, and murdered by the police, all points to crimes of apartheid being practiced; without being labeled as apartheid policies or practices. Here is what the definition and the description of what crimes of apartheid is:

(from Wikipedia.com) For the purpose of the present Convention, the term 'the crime of apartheid', which shall include similar policies and practices of racial segregation and discrimination as practiced in southern Africa, shall apply to the following inhumane acts committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them:

1. Denial to a member or members of a racial group or groups of the right to life and liberty of person
   1. By murder of members of a racial group or groups;
   2. By the infliction upon the members of a racial group or groups of serious bodily or mental harm, by the infringement of their freedom or dignity, or by subjecting them to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment;
   3. By arbitrary arrest and illegal imprisonment of the members of a racial group or groups;
2. Deliberate imposition on a racial group or groups of living conditions calculated to cause its or their physical destruction in whole or in part;
3. Any legislative measures and other measures calculated to prevent a racial group or groups from participation in the political, social, economic and cultural life of the country and the deliberate creation of conditions preventing the full development of such a group or groups, in particular by denying to members of a racial group or groups basic human rights and freedoms, including the right to work, the right to form recognized trade unions, the right to education, the right to leave and to return to their country, the right to a nationality, the right to freedom of movement and residence, the right to freedom of opinion and expression, and the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association;
4. Any measures including legislative measures, designed to divide the population along racial lines by the creation of separate reserves and ghettos for the members of a racial group or groups, the prohibition of mixed marriages among members of various racial groups, the expropriation of landed property belonging to a racial group or groups or to members thereof;
5. Exploitation of the labour of the members of a racial group or groups, in particular by submitting them to forced labour;
6. Persecution of organizations and persons, by depriving them of fundamental rights and freedoms, because they oppose apartheid. 

 Now that you have this information right here in front of you, how clear is it to you? This is not a personal cause I am pursuing and trying to draw attention to, but a national cause for every Black or African-American person in this country. We must unite and apply excessive pressure on the leader (the President) of this country to make this happen. It is the most intelligent thing for us to pursue in order to begin ridding the unjust inequality that the mass majority of the minority face here in North America. If something as frivolous as homosexuals petitioning and taking a stand for the right to marry draws national attention, why shouldn't something of this magnitude be on the same, if not higher, on the agenda for change in this country. It is our God given right to be free persons, free from oppression, to be treated, respected, and acknowledged as human beings, but it is an abomination against God to engage in homosexual activity; but yet that matter is on the forefront of this country. Please do not take what I just stated as "gay bashing" because I am not out to assault or offend anyone. My purpose is to encourage and enlighten those who read this, to what is an essential matter that must be resolved in order to get these changes to manifest.
If and/or when the United States become signatories and are then bound to the international law against crimes of apartheid, they (the establishment) will then have no choice but to truly enforce the practice of law they preach but, so far, do not abide by. If not, they will be in violation of an international law and the heads of this country will be subject to criminal charges of crimes against humanity. It is my truest and firmest belief that what we need is not reparations or restitution, but an absolute resolution to the oppression established by the institution. This is my conclusion for the overall solution to the imperialist pollution plaguing this country.

As usual, I thank you for taking time to read this and I hope that we, as a people, can espouse unity with ourselves. As I leave, I want to leave you, the reader(s), with words of peace. So I say to you all, As-salamu-alaykumu!
