Abstract
This paper examines the role that racial bias plays in The War on Drugs. Today, more African American men are under correctional control than were enslaved in the year 1850 largely due to the highly racialized police practices. Widespread racial bias within the United States renders many of the racialized aspects of the criminal justice system invisible. This paper attempts to combine sociological analysis with a comprehensive understanding of the relevant psychological mechanisms that inhibit society as a whole from seeing the ways that racism still exists to great degrees within society.
