Abstract
In this essay, I will discuss how we can reframe the state of dis-union between the failed progress of black people and the belief that our government and its offspring (the criminal justice system) should be of the people, for the people, and by the people. In particular, I argue, through a reading of the nexus between two major claims regarding black inequality in the Moynihan report, how we can uncover the recent police murders of unarmed black men as more mundane than phenomenal. Simply, these deaths represent the continued victimization of black people through a process of racially biased policing based on implicit biases that stereotype black men as criminals.
