Neighborhood Watch

More about the book

The book delves into how racial fear is weaponized by private individuals to enforce societal divisions between Black and White communities. It examines the systemic and often unconscious fears that lead to abuses such as misuse of 911 calls, racial hoaxes, and vigilante justice, all framed as self-defense. These actions exploit the criminal justice system, resulting in violent consequences for Black individuals. The complicity of government officials at various levels further exacerbates this issue, highlighting a troubling dynamic in contemporary society.
