Exactly. If people would just read a book, they'd understand.

So You Want To Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo goes into semantics and how word choice matters, particularly having to do with crime. "Captured" simply implies the man can be compared to an animal. This language would most likely not be used if the man were white. Maybe "Found" would be used instead. This is the problem.

Another book recommendation having to do with school is Pushout by Monique W. Morris. Heavy reading, though. Do it in batches.

It's scary y'all in the comments and downvoting are a part of this sub and may even live in Newark. At least do your homework while you're here.
