In his lecture, Wilson described the history of the 카지노 게임 컬렉션Black-on-Black violence카지노 게임 컬렉션 discourse in the United States. After 1980, accelerating urban decline, deindustrialization, and the political consequences of the 1970s brought this discourse to the fore of American consciousness. While Wilson did not dispute the fact that from 1980-1984 violence involving Black perpetrators and victims did increase, he argued that this was not surprising: violence rates are known to correlate with poverty rates. This phenomenon could have been called 카지노 게임 컬렉션poverty-stricken youth on poverty-stricken youth violence,카지노 게임 컬렉션 or 카지노 게임 컬렉션disenfranchised youth on disenfranchised youth violence,카지노 게임 컬렉션 or even 카지노 게임 컬렉션youth in deindustrialized space on youth in deindustrialized space violence.카지노 게임 컬렉션 These would emphasize the changing economy, how economic structures benefit some while harming others. But, Wilson argued that by labeling it 카지노 게임 컬렉션Black-on-Black violence,카지노 게임 컬렉션 commenters centred race as the critical variable to understanding violence. While this discourse was new, it was also old: it drew on a long history of ideas about the subculture of poverty, even as it accelerated the demonization of Black poor communities. The discourse coded young Black children, allowing people to know the character of a child by seeing and interpreting their body, how they dress or walk. Discussions of 카지노 게임 컬렉션Black-on-Black violence카지노 게임 컬렉션 was simultaneously about violence and about the world through which we are to understand the violence, bolstering the idea of 카지노 게임 컬렉션superpredators카지노 게임 컬렉션 and 카지노 게임 컬렉션welfare queens카지노 게임 컬렉션 that enabled successive governments to claw back social supports while strengthening the surveillance and discipline of Black populations.
