This question refers to the text “Mass Incarceration as a Form of Racialized Social Control” by Michelle Alexander.

In this text, Alexander points to Reagan's presidency as a moment in which the rhetoric of "color-blindness" began. This led to racial discourse being employed in new and adapted ways that reacted to the needs of the period.

She argues that Reagan employed a strategy in which he exploited racial hostility and conflict without openly referencing race. Instead, he used terms such as "welfare queens" and "criminal predators" that did not necessarily mentioned race, but that people understood as having racial connotations. In this way, he appealed to poor, white Republicans who felt angry about the support that the Democratic Party gave to the civil rights movement.

The protestors agitate for their freedom being imprison.

A child who is different from others, stands out among his peers and is likely to be bullied. For example, children who are different from their peer physically such as dwarfs, obese, deformed are more likely to be bullied. Children who are also different in their mental capacity compared to their peers are also likely to be bullied, e.g. mentally impaired children.
