AGAIN? - Baltimore Man Dies From Injuries During Arrest

[sfc415]

Wait…. you mean every song that mentions "thug" is really code for "nixxa"?

At this rate there will be no words left for white people to sing along to.

Let's just ignore CONTEXT. Damn, people like you must've bombed the SATs with these poor comprehension skills

Allow me to shed some more light on the social importance of the word criminal as it pertains to black people in the year 2015. 

An excerpt from Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow, broken into 2 posts:

 
The critical point here is that, for black men, the stigma of being a “criminal” in the era of mass incarceration is fundamentally a racial stigma. This is not to say stigma is absent for white criminals; it is present and powerful. Rather, the point is that the stigma of criminality for white offenders is different—it is a nonracial stigma.

An experiment may help to illustrate how and why this is the case. Say the following to nearly anyone and watch the reaction: “We really need to do something about the problem of white crime.” Laughter is a likely response. The term white crime is nonsensical in the era of mass incarceration, unless one is really referring to white-collar crime, in which case the term is understood to mean the types of crimes that seemingly respectable white people commit in the comfort of fancy offices. Because the term white crime lacks social meaning, the term white criminal is also perplexing. In that formulation, white seems to qualify the term criminal—as if to say, “he’s a criminal but not that kind of criminal.” Or, he’s not a real criminal—i.e., not what we mean by criminal today.
In the era of mass incarceration, what it means to be a criminal in our collective consciousness has become conflated with what it means to be black, so the term white criminal is confounding, while the term black criminal is nearly redundant. Recall the study discussed in chapter 3 that revealed that when survey respondents were asked to picture a drug criminal, nearly everyone pictured someone black. This phenomenon helps to explain why studies indicate that white ex-offenders may actually have an easier time gaining employment than African Americans without a criminal record. To be a black man is to be thought of as a criminal, and to be a black criminal is despicable—a social pariah.

Will this somehow clear Wale of NT's irrational hatred of him?

 To be a white criminal is not easy, by any means, but as a white criminal you are not a racial outcast, though you may face forms of social and economic exclusion.  Whiteness mitigates crime, whereas blackness defines the criminal.

As we have seen in earlier chapters, the conflation of blackness with crime did not happen organically; rather, it was constructed by political and media elites as part of the broad project known as the War on Drugs.  This conflation served to provide legitimate outlet to the expression of antiblack resentment and animus-a convenient release valve now that explicit forms of racial bias are strictly condemned.  In the era of colorblindness, it is no longer permissible to hate blacks, but we can hate criminals.  Indeed, we are encouraged to do so.  As writer John Edgar Wideman points out, "It's respectable to tar and feather criminals, to advocate locking them up and throwing away the key.  It's not racist to be against crime, even though the archetypal criminal in the media and public imagination almost always wears Willie Horton's (a black man's) face.
