What does 'equality' look like in the U.S.? A bombshell 2020 human rights report reveals a stark divide: Black Americans are 3x more likely to be killed by police, 2x as likely to die from COVID-19, and make up 66% of incarcerated minors despite being just one-third of youth. 🌍 “This isn’t an accident—it’s systemic,” says Adam, a New Yorker sharing his truth.
Numbers Don’t Lie 🚨
From health crises to jail cells, communities of color face layered barriers. The pandemic hit like a wrecking ball: infection rates for Black Americans tripled compared to white peers. Meanwhile, minors of color are overrepresented in prisons—a cycle Adam calls “a wound that never heals.”
Adam’s Story: “We’re Tired, Not Broken” ✊
Growing up in Brooklyn, Adam saw friends disappear into a justice system stacked against them. “You learn to code-switch before you learn algebra,” he says. Now a community organizer, he fights for reforms but warns: “Equality won’t exist until we dismantle racism buried in laws, schools, hospitals—everywhere.”
As debates about racial justice trend globally, stories like Adam’s remind us: progress needs more than hashtags. It demands action. 💡
