It's a shame that black Americans (especially males) have been type-casted as criminals. However, the Pavlovian theory, created around 1904 suggests this effect. Dr. Delores Jones Brown states that: "The policeman develops a perceptual shorthand to identify certain types of people as symbolic assailants, that is, as persons who use gesture, language, and attire that the policeman has come to recognize as a prelude to violence. Most communities have come to identify the black man with danger." An extreme fear of color rules the minds of those whom we look to for protection, which leads to more criminality from the black community. The in-balance of trust and fear between the races must be conquered in order to prescribe equality.
