Under the thumb of white-collar criminals, justice remains elusive for Black people

 

Under the thumb of white-collar criminals, justice remains elusive for Black people

The Black man in Belgium does not have access to justice, exactly like in the United States of America. 


Justice remains elusive for Black people in the United States due to deeply entrenched systemic racism embedded across all stages of the criminal justice system. Racial disparities are well-documented and not accidental but rather rooted in a history of oppression, discriminatory policies, and biased decision-making that disproportionately targets Black individuals.

 

From policing to sentencing, Black people face higher rates of stops, arrests, pretrial detention, and harsher sentencing compared to white individuals, even when controlling for offense type and criminal history. Black men, who comprise about 13% of the male population, make up approximately 35% of those incarcerated, and one in three Black men born today can expect to be incarcerated in their lifetime, compared to one in six Latino men and one in 17 white men.

 

The origins of modern policing trace back to slave patrols designed to control and capture runaway enslaved people, establishing a legacy of surveillance and violence against Black communities. This history continues today through practices such as racial profiling, with Black individuals being five times more likely to be stopped without just cause than white people.

 

Police killings of unarmed Black Americans contribute to a significant mental health burden, with estimates suggesting over 50 million additional days of poor mental health annually among Black Americans due to these incidents. Despite being disproportionately impacted by fatal police violence, making up 22% of fatal shootings despite being 13.4% of the population, few officers are prosecuted, with only 35 of 98 officers arrested since 2005 convicted of a crime, and only three convicted of murder.

 

In the courtroom, racial bias affects every phase of the legal process, including jury selection, charging decisions, plea negotiations, and sentencing. African American defendants are 22% more likely to have convictions overturned due to police misconduct, and 47% of exonerated individuals in wrongful conviction cases are African American.


The war on drugs has disproportionately devastated Black communities, with African Americans representing 29% of drug arrests and 33% of drug incarcerations despite using illicit drugs at similar rates to white Americans. As of 2022, African Americans were 5.9 times more likely to be incarcerated than whites, and Hispanics were 3.1 times more likely.

 

These disparities are not isolated incidents but reflect a broader pattern of systemic racism that criminalizes poverty and maintains racial hierarchies. The U.S. has the largest prison population in the world, with more Black people under correctional control today than were ever enslaved in the country’s history. This system perpetuates generational trauma, economic inequality, and disenfranchisement, undermining the promise of equal justice.

 

I have lived in Belgium for twenty-five years; I have never seen a single justice for the Black people. People of African descent continue to face dehumanization. There are thousands of Belgian journalists in the country, yet nobody is interested in writing or publishing about crime against Black people in the country. I am the only African writer who has been able to write about some of these crimes, yet the Belgian government and Google have removed a lot of them from my blog.

 

I have been complaining and have written many articles about the crimes of the Belgian government and Google against me and my blog, yet nothing has improved. When I went to the Stuivenberg hospital to investigate the strange circumstances of the death of many Africans, a female official of the Stad Antwerpen said I was crazy when I accused the hospital of stealing the body parts of Africans and deliberately killing them.

 

In my opinion, the female official isn’t an intelligent fellow. What do they expect me to say when the Belgian government and the royal family have built a statue of a lunatic king that orchestrated the killing of over 10 million Africans in the Congo? Once a statue has been built for a murderer, it makes sense to say that the Stuivenberg Hospital was deliberately killing African patients after stealing their body parts. I am happy that after my investigation, the hospital is now permanently closed. 

 

Some years ago, the Belgian government collaborated with Google and deliberately destroyed our genuine health blog to cover up political and medical crimes by the US government, Belgium, the World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control; however, not this time with my personal blog. 


I am ready to fight Google and any individual with my pen, and the impact of the damage will be more effective than a spear. I have seen that in Belgium, just like in the United States of America, the Black man has no respect and access to justice. I will not beg for any respect. However, as long as I am certain that I have not committed any crimes, I will fight for my survival unabated.


Readers can see that the related post widget has been manipulated; therefore, random articles are appearing. This has been going on for years. I built this blog, and I know its performance, but the fact that they are changing things and slowing it down to discourage reading means they continue to manipulate the blog. More importantly, I have submitted the blog to "Yandex," a Russian search engine; therefore, I receive reports from the webmaster anytime changes are made to my blog. 


There are several tools that, when you run your blog or website through them, tell you what Google has done. Even though I have been publishing everything they do, they continue to do it. Very soon, I will publish new things they have done on my blog. When they respect me, they will get the same back. 


To whom it may concern, stop wasting your time blocking readers' access to this article. I have published it on different platforms. If you don't respect me, I also don't have respect for you. This fight will continue till the end of my life.
