C*T in a Bike Shop

You want to know how INSANELY racism skews and law enforcement tactics and responses to crime? In 2009, the NYPD stopped and frisked approximately 575,000 New Yorkers. Of those stopped, approximately 490,000 were black or Latino, and approximately 53,000 were white. Even though NINE TIMES AS MANY people of color were stopped, the NYPD found that, of all people stopped, WHITE PEOPLE were MOST likely to be carrying contraband—illegal drugs, illegally concealed weapons, drug paraphernalia, etc. What was the NYPD’s response to this data? In 2010, they stopped even MORE blacks and Latinos. So even though their OWN data indicated that they should be stopping more white people, they, instead, stopped more people of color. And do you know why? Because they, just like everyone else in the world, ignore the FACTS when it comes to race and crime, and act on PERCEPTION. Because the FACTS can’t be dealt with without an admission of guilt. And no one, NO ONE, EVER wants to admit that they’re racist.

Umm

i see the word ‘racism’ being tossed around like a hooker’s vagina and it’s kind of dumb. biased, a better word. racist is a high degree. this seems to be implicit bias. not racism. 

And do you know what implicit bias against people of color because of the color of their skin by white people means?

RACISM.
