Calling the police on black people in the United States is a form of racial terror.

is a Teen Vogue column by Jenn M. Jackson, whose queer Black feminist perspective explores how today's social and political life is influenced by generations of racial and gender order. In this article, she examines the recent onslaught of police violence against black Americans when compared to the gentleness toward known white killers, and how calling the police often results in violence against black people.

I have heard this declaration from other black people at least 12 dozen times over the course of my life. Like me, they grew up believing that police response should be used as a last resort, if a resort at all, to any situation that might require help. They understood that police are quick to act violently and when they are called, they are too often looking for us: the black, the working-class, the poor, the unemployed, the whatever-else-that-fits-the-description.

So donate Teen Vogue to black people pls.

If someone is commits a crime, you call the police. You don't get special privileges just because you're black. You shouldn't mislead your young readers and ignore the fact that there's no racial bias in the arrest-related kill rate (though there is some racial bias overall).

Y’all actual 🤡

Calling the the firefighters right now that take is on fire

BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Wow no shit, y’all just now reporting on this?!

Some of y’all aren’t even reading the article. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Stop being purposefully ignorant because you lookin dusty rn

Calling the police when you see a criminal is a good solution... are you advocating that we make justice ourselves ? Or did you forgot that policemen aren't a skin color but A JOB ! You are really racist at Teen Vogue oO chocking.

Arn't people who commit crime supposed to be terrified of the police. I think the theory is that this acts as some kind of deterrent.

Yea, shoot them yourself. You cowards

That’s not right

Damn they WOKE woke

So if a teen is being beaten by a person of color you are telling her not to call the police. Just take the beating like an obedient child as not to cause civil unrest? Brilliant one dead kid later you may rethink this position

And why still being published? Every day I come here to read the nonsense and demanding this crap magazine is doing to teens mind. It’s time to boycott it boycottteenvogue

So if someone is trying to rob you or break into your home you can't call the cops? If they're white it's ok to call? But not if they are from a different race? Give me a break.

I don't care what color you are if you break into my house I'm calling the cops! Just saying.

And here we start the vicious cycle. Convince everyone that calling the cops on black people is racist so less crimes are reported, more crimes get committed and the crime rate not only increases but the statistics of blacks committing them do to, cops now justified to use force.

If I see you breaking the fucking law I'm calling the cops. Doesn't matter if you're white, black, green, or purple.

Terror?

Allowing your kids to read Teen Vogue is a form of child abuse.

Most of the people who call the police on black people, are black people.

It’s 2019, and we still have to explain this fact to people. I...can’t. I don’t have the words to even begin to comprehend others’ actions and willful ignorance.
