Kingston Hospital and Asylum for Deserted Negroes reading

You can see many parallels from the reading about the Kingston Hospital and Asylum for Deserted Negroes and its policies and the policies we have in today's society. For one is that they put policies on paper and have good intentions for them. That they are good ideas and sound like they are for the better on paper. Then when the policies or “Acts” are impended they are not even close to doing good or having a positive twist.  For example, the idea of the Kingston Hospital and Asylum for Deserted Negroes is great, a place where people that cannot get medical care because of color, money or location can go and get medical care is amazing. But when reality unfolded it was more of a prison rather than a place to help people. Even in the writing, the author referred to the people there as inmates. Then with all the new policies from the Act, caused so much harm to the minority community. With even freed slaves were still prosecuted and put into harmful situations even though they are freed. This can be seen today with different policies we use to “help” minority groups but when reality hit all it does is cause more harm than good. For example, the policy of no child left behind. Yes, the idea is great but in reality, school just past kids even though the kids don’t really learn anything, but just to get them through to make the school look better or get more money. Which if you are just letting people slide through the system then they will not be prepared r able to go to great colleges like med-school or even get started on a path to become doctors.
