Voter Suppression Laws and the Racial Turnout Gap in America
After Black men gained the right to vote with passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870, many US Southern states began implementing literacy tests, grandfather clauses, poll taxes, and other devices that made it difficult, if not impossible, for Blacks to vote. These devices kept many Southern Blacks from voting throughout the first half of the 20th century. In the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It …
A Historical Analysis of Racism Within the US Presidency
The Impact of Donald Trump’s Presidency on the Well-Being of African Americans
This article purports to examine the chaotic presidency of Donald Trump and how it has been harmful to the African American community. To accomplish this, the authors use chaos theory as our theoretical framework. Chaos theory appears to be random and haphazard at first glance, but it is actually structured. Trump has been successful with this leadership style by diverting attention away from these harmful actions and by having the electorate foc…
The Dehumanization of Black Males by Police
Despite the contemporary public’s discourse regarding the embrace of human diversity within the United States, Black males still are perennially brutalized, killed, and negatively stereotyped. Recent events regarding police killings underscore the reality that even though Black males have the same constitutional and civil rights as all other citizens, in practice their rights are often violated or denied. The negative stereotypes of Black males i…
Black Lives Matter and the Civil Rights Movement
Black Lives Matter (BLM) has arisen as a social movement in response to the numerous killings of unarmed African Americans. It has been criticized by some as too confrontational and divisive. The purpose of this study is to undertake a comparative analysis of the BLM Movement and the civil rights movement (1954-1965). As social movements, both have evolved out of the need to continue the Black liberation struggle for freedom. I have conducted a c…
A Critical Race Perspective of Police Shooting of Unarmed Black Males in the United States
Recent high-profile killings of unarmed Black males underscore a stark reality in America: though Black men have the same constitutional rights as all other citizens of the United States, in practice their rights are often violated. The negative stereotype that all Black males are criminals has created an environment that perpetuates the killing of unarmed Black males by police officers as justifiable self-defense. In this article, critical race …
A synergy of contemporary activism to address police maltreatment of Black males
A panoramic overview of contemporary and historical activism to address the perennial tension between police and young Black males in the United States of America is extensively articulated. Furthermore, an intersectional analysis framework is utilized to provide, and explain the unintentional synergy of activism among different groups in the Black community such as the Black Lives Matter movement, the inveterate political class, and the venerabl…

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Voting Precinct
more controversial than any presidential election in recent history. President George Bush won a majority of the Electoral College vote but lost the popular vote by roughly 600,000 votes. Florida became the main source of the controversy. Allegations of voting irregularities in Florida were rampant: Ballots were confusing, voting equipment was outdated, polling places did not maintain regular hours, many polling places were understaffed and under…
African American Women And Their Quest For Congress
As many barriers to Black electoral success were removed during the latter half of the 20th century, Black representation in Congress increased dramatically from 2 in 1949 to 38 in 2000. Many of these Black congresspersons (particularly from southern states) were first elected from majority Black districts but were subsequently reelected from majority White districts. However, the percentage of Blacks in Congress remains low. Black females face a…

Clayton tackles questions such as these in his book. African Americans and the Politics of Congressional Redistricting.

Black Congressional Representation in the South
gress currently stands at its highest total ever, 39. The following discussion demonstrates that this was due, in large part, to the creation of majority black districts in the South just prior to the 1992 elections. Critics of the creation of majority black districts in the South often argue that blacks can win election from majority white districts. This paper shows that the inability of blacks to win election from majority white districts warr…
