Michelle Alexander talk about how affirmative action needs to me taken in a different manner against racial injustice in today’s judicial system. She says that racial justice advocates do not realize that they have helped make the new caste system invisible, spread the myth that anyone can move up in society, and encouraged the “trickle down theory of racial justice”. It was interesting how she talked about Martin Luther and how his dream was to view all people equally regardless of race. Since we have adopted this mentality, when majority of the black men are imprisoned, we can justify that and say that they chose this way of life. However, there are other factors that can lead them into prison and keep them in prison.

My question is how do racial justice advocates implement affirmative action, is it just in the criminal system or do they reach broader areas such as education, politics, etc.
