Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

A new study puts numbers behind what many Black folks already know: seeing Black people killed by the police is truly traumatic. The study , “Police Killings And Their Spillover Effects On The Mental Health Of Black Americans: A Population-Based, Quasi-Experimental Study,” was published via the online version of medical journal The Lancet yesterday (June 21).

In a time when 911 calls involving mental illness are up 227 percent since the late 1990s and at least a quarter of all police-involved killings involved people with mental illnesses, the documentary makes the case that law enforcement officers are typically not equipped to be the first responders in these situations.

A US judge has thrown out a teenager's lawsuit that had accused a newspaper of falsely calling him a racist.

Evidence suggests kids of color will be especially vulnerable to the sharper teeth in Proposition 21. A new study entitled “Color of Justice,” co-authored by former UCI professor Mike Males, found that black, Latino and Asian teens are much more likely to be tried in adult court and sentenced to prison than are white offenders who commit the same crimes. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/proposition-21

This is Kathy Miller, 45’s campaign manager for Ohio. Utterly reprehensible racism & bigotry. #WhitePeopleAgainstRacism #whytheracecardisplayed

When you talk about a city like Baltimore, systematic institutional racism plays a very deep part in how we got to this point." #whytheracecardisplayed

Why don’t you focus on the racism you and your bigoted Queens NY neighbors have been perpetuating for 40 years. #whytheracecardisplayed

BUCK 50 (a slice on your face) I ain't gonna lie. It was my fault. Me and a buddy of mine were out bar hoppin one night. We were both wasted and needed a cigarette to chase the liquor. This is NYC. The place where a pack of squares will cost you 12 bucks. So cats (and most bodegas in the hood) sold loose cigarettes called Lucy's for 50 cents apiece. The same hustle that got Eric Gardner killed over on Staten Island.  I knew a spot where there was usually a couple of guys sellin them a few blocks away from us over on 40th Ave.  When me an my guy reach the spot we see three young guys sittin on crates near a payphone close to the curb. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/buck-50
