Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

Racial Profiling in Crime Control Technologies Current concern with the federal surveillance of social protests on social media, particularly that of Twitter’s #blacklivesmatter ( Joseph, 2015 ), has coalesced the topics of the Fourth Amendment, civil liberties in a broad sense, and technology into conversation around the scale, scope, and cost of civilian surveillance.  https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/racial-profiling-in-crime-control-technologies

Police are increasingly monitoring social media to build evidence for criminal indictments. In 2014, 103 alleged gang members residing in public housing in Harlem, New York, were arrested in what has been called “the largest gang bust in history.” The arrests came after the New York Police Department (NYPD) spent 4 years monitoring the social media communication of these suspected gang members. In this article, we explore the implications of using social media for the identification of criminal activity. We describe everyday racism in digital policing as a burgeoning conceptual framework for understanding racialized social media surveillance by law enforcement. We discuss implications for law enforcement agencies utilizing social media data for intelligence and evidence in criminal cases. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/digital-policing-in-the-use-of-social-media-for-identification-of-criminal-conduct-and-associations

DON'T BE STUPID! Proactive policing strategies and multiple forms of police misconduct and violence have disproportionately affected people of color who live in urban, disadvantaged communities ( Brunson & Miller, 2006 ). Justification of this behavior is rooted in historical narratives and a belief structure, often perpetuated in the criminal justice system that views Black men as “symbolic assailants” ( Anderson, 1990 ; Bridges & Steen, 1998 ; Brunson & Miller, 2006 ; Holmes, 2000 ; Jackson, 1997 ; Jacobs & O’Brien, 1998 ; Kennedy, 1997 ; Smith & Holmes, 2003 ; Quillian & Pager, 2001 ). Feagin (1991) warns that these covert and routine strategies have widespread, cumulative effects on both individuals and the collective consciousness of Black communities.  https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/social-media-use-in-identifying-and-investigating-criminal-conduct

Expectations of Racism, Media Thickness in African-American Women. Intima–media thickness , also called intimal medial thickness, is a measurement of the thickness of tunica intima and tunica media, the innermost two layers of the wall of an artery. The measurement is usually made by external ultrasound and occasionally by internal, invasive ultrasound catheters.

Jon Wilkes Booth, Walt Whitman, and Stonewall Jackson all attended the execution of John Brown. John Brown was a hero and should be recognized as so but some call him a terrorist. More black people need to add him into the discussion with the rest of our hero's but he gets forgotten about way too often.

Abstract The growth of racism during the past few years has been paralleled by a radical shift in the terms of debate on strategies for defeating it. In the early 1970s minority actions by the far left against the National Front were condemned in hysterical terms by commentators and politicians whose line for defeating racists was ‘ignore them and they’ll go away’. Today, erstwhile moderates vie with each other in denouncing racism and its fascist parasites. The Bishop of Aston announces in blood-curdling terms that if people realised the horror of a developed National Front ‘they would lie awake at night sweating with fear’; the Labour Party, authors in government of the anti-immigration policies and legislation that have contributed most to the rise of racism, devote an entire political broadcast to an attack on the National Front; Young Conservatives have even taken to producing anti-racist T-shirts. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/mass-media-and-racism

We also found that reports of direct racial discrimination increased across the three time periods. Minority youth perceived an average of less than one incident (M=.72) at the first time period, one incident (M=.94) the second year, and slightly more than one incident (M=1.1) at the third. The results also suggested that vicarious racial discrimination increased across the three waves. Participants perceived approximately one and a half incidents of vicarious racial discrimination (M=1.43) at the first time period, and nearly two incidents of vicarious racial discrimination the second (M=1.69) and third (M=1.70) years. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/online-racial-discrimination-a-growing-problem-for-adolescents

Sixty-five years after Brown v. Board of Education , U.S. schools remain largely segregated. This matters not only because white and black students experience very different educational outcomes, but also because school is where children form many of their ideas about race and privilege. De facto school segregation perpetuates the intergenerational reproduction of racial hierarchy. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/what-white-kids-learn-about-race-in-school

Researchers estimate that roughly three-quarters of white legacy students would have been rejected if they had been treated the same as their non-white peers These students are accepted at a higher rate than other applicants, even though they have worse grades. They also tend to be overwhelmingly white: roughly a third of legacy students are African American, Hispanic or Asian American.

It became clear after the Civil War that black and white women had different views of why the right to vote was essential. White women were seeking the vote as a symbol of parity with their husbands and brothers. Black women, most of whom lived in the South, were seeking the ballot for themselves and their men, as a means of empowering black communities besieged by the reign of racial terror that erupted after Emancipation. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/how-the-suffrage-movement-betrayed-black-women

Within a capitalist economic system, Commodification is the transformation of goods , services , ideas and people into commodities or objects of trade. A commodity at its most basic, according to Arjun Appadurai , is "anything intended for exchange," or any object of economic value .

Response to this push and pull of the status quo has “led many White youth in two seemingly opposed but actually interconnected directions: retrenchment in White supremacy and voracious consumption of African American popular culture” (Yousman, 2003, p. 375). In our commodity consumer culture, just as one’s body can be bought and sold on the open market (HillCollins, 1990), one can purchase “identity.” Most importantly, this identity may be found through “eating the other”:  https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/share-cropping-blackness

Blackophilia: Used to describe the ambivalent interest in Black culture by non-Blacks as a source of both pleasure and anxiety (Yousman, 2003). Characterized by consumption and simultaneous fascination/disgust, attraction/repulsion, hypervisiblity/invisibility of Black pop culture. Equally, Blackophobia will refer to irrational fear, dread, and anxiety toward Blacks (Yousman, 2003). https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/the-hyper-consumption-of-black-popular-culture

After racist emails, Wake Forest University keeps armed guards outside some classrooms The emails arrived after a tumultuous spring semester. In February, after a photo of a person in blackface and another wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe was found on the medical-school yearbook page of Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) generated national headlines, the university’s president, Nathan Hatch, addressed the campus about racist images and language in old copies of the Wake Forest school yearbook . Those included references to lynching, racial slurs, Confederate symbols and photos of students in blackface. Hatch wrote that the university continues “to explore and improve how to reconcile our complex history with the progress we’ve made and the sense of belonging we want everyone in our community to feel.” Those efforts included researching the school’s historical ties to slavery. Later that month, the university’s dean of admissions, Martha Allman, wrote a message to the campus apologi...

Donald Trump May Have Intervened With Colin Kaepernick's Signing And Fans Are Furious. The controversy around former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began on September 1, 2016, when he knelt during the National Anthem to protest police brutality. Since then, he's lost his position and been a lightning rod at the center of a contentious political conversation.

Assata Shakur was wrongfully convicted in a case that should've been self defense. Well documented Cointelpro operations and other evidence should've have lead to an open and shut case. However she's still wanted and there's currently a 2 million dollar reward for her.

Selling the Race  offers a fascinating story of the making of black culture in the United States at the middle of the twentieth century. The basic message, convincingly delivered, is that African Americans have long been agents in the production of their culture (one that has influenced, and been influenced by, trends toward modernity in American life generally) and not just casualties. Less convincing, but less important, is the argument that Chicago has been "at the center of the postwar historical narrative" (p. 16). https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/how-to-sell-not-sell-out-black-culture-to-other-communities-enterprises-society-s

First, the geographic limits on many African Americans’ trading partnerships segregate the larger social networks of which African-American business owners are a part. Combined with the segregation of African Americans in other domains of life, such as housing, this means that African Americans are less able to build social capital that provides important economic benefits. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/foreign-owned-businesses-in-minority-neighborhoods-why
