Margaret Kimberley · White Capitalist Law vs “Uncontrollable Blackness”

The United States “criminalizes Black Americans,” but Black men “are not looking to be controlled” by this racist system, said Douglas Flowe, an historian at Washington University, in St. Louis, and author of the book, “Uncontrollable Blackness: African American Men and Criminality in Jim Crow New York.”  Dr Flowe wants his audience to “understand what it is that might exist in American society that might render illegality into a form of resistance when the law, itself, is stacked against you.”
