Scholarly and lay literature pertaining to the criminal prosecution of black males are in contrast with white males. White male defendants are met by a system of judicial leniency. Conversely, the false convictions of the Central Park Five are met by judicial hostility. Considering the auspices of such hegemony, law enforcement, journalism, and the society at-large, are dominated by the concept of race as conduit of criminal prosecution. Evidence exists to substantiate race as implicit factor in guilt or innocence. Therefore, the solution to false convictions such as the Central Park Five must address race in the demonization of black defendants at every level. Moreover, “race” as a deceptive quantification of human category must be eliminated entirely from the treatise of criminal prosecution. “When they see us” will then be no more or less nefarious to the judicial process “than when we see them.”

“当我们看到他们时”:种族作为刑事起诉的渠道

与黑人男性刑事起诉有关的学术和非专业文献与白人男性相反。白人男性被告会受到司法宽大处理。相反,中央敌对五区的错误定罪则受到司法敌意的打击。考虑到这种霸权的主持,执法,新闻业和整个社会都以种族作为刑事诉讼的渠道为主导。存在证据证明种族是有罪或无罪的隐性因素。因此,解决诸如中央公园五号等错误信念的方法必须解决种族妖魔化在各个层面上的种族化问题。此外,必须从刑事起诉书中完全消除“种族”作为对人类类别的欺骗性量化。
