Relation to Today
These racial undertones throughout history that started with Native Americans and are currently with the African Americans is extremely relevant today. There is still reports of black injustice as with Trayvon Martin. His death shows how police officers still racially profile individuals and shows that the past never changes. The beginnings with Native Americans already showed settler colonialism and our current system is just an adapted version of this. White males want to keep this society and immigrants trespassing greatly bothers them. The clear unjustices within this report show how unfair this society is. We need to not repeat history as shown through our past. Rather we have to evolve past this white male pride and allow in all races with no prejudices or discrimination

Million Dollar Hoods Team
The Million Dollar Hoods Team showed the injustice among Los Angeles and the arrests. They showed reports of cannabis arrests in relation to white males and showed just how discriminatory the system really is. They started by interviewing residents of the Los Angeles area impacted by mass incarceration
They include not only incarcerated individuals but also formerly incarcerated individuals
Black residents make up the majority of homeless individuals and arrests in LA (this ties back to the legal contracts creating the black belt and Central Ave)

Esther Lim
A representative for the ACLU showed the corruption within the LA County jails.
The LA county jail system has the most women, furthermore, the most pregnant women
There is a lack of medical Care
There is a lack of mental health care
More than half of the people in these jails have not been convicted, technically they are innocent
Our jail system is money based

Vices
Many research showed that white men of “good integrity” were always found in gambling dens and other areas of great vices. This shows the corruption and simply the inconsistencies with many arrests in Central Avenue

Corruption
In the 1920s and 1930s, the LAPD was corrupt and had been paid off by pimps, madams, etc. There were simply a lot of raids and arrests in this area of Central Ave simply targeting the race wars.
