“For every dollar a white person makes, a black person makes 73-cents,” he said, then added, “they make more money for the same job we do, and we make less money for the same job they do.” https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/former-sacramento-calif-mayor-kevin-johnson-introduces-black-capital-initiative

Africa’s growth has been throttled by its low level of intra-Africa trade. A full two-thirds of African imports come from Europe and Asia and intra-continental trade is only 13% of all African imports.  https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/africa-s-investment-opportunities-shift-from-the-south

In 2005, the American Psychological Association called for the immediate ban on all Native American mascots, saying that an increasing body of evidence shows that such imagery and language harms not only the “the social identity development and self-esteem of American Indian young people” but also teaches “non-Indian children that it's acceptable to participate in culturally abusive behavior and perpetuate inaccurate misconceptions about American Indian culture.” https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/the-kansas-city-chiefs-in-super-bowl-liv-will-shine-so-will-their-fans-racism

To “run into the law” was a fact of life for blacks, especially black men, Thomas said, and he knew instinctively that discrimination had to be fought in all its incarnations, including parks, schools, and other public spaces being off limits. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/clarence-thomas-documentary-review-humanity-a-lifelong-battle-against-racism-and-love-of-country

Transporting hundreds of inmates from Rikers (in Queens) to Soho is an experience that begins at 6 in the morning. It entails rounding up hundreds of prisoners, many groups going to other boroughs like Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx. Once we're corralled from or housings units then put in packed inside holding cells for 2 to 3 hours waiting on the buses to come to take us to court.  https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/the-wolf

If humans simply cannot help their tribal instincts, then a truly multicultural democracy has a big challenge ahead of it. The emotions triggered are so primal, that conflict, rather than any form of common ground, can spiral into a grinding cold civil war. And you can’t legislate or educate this away. One fascinating study Klein quotes found that “priming white college students to think about the concept of white privilege led them to express more racial resentment in subsequent surveys.” Anti-racist indoctrination actually feeds racism. So tribalism deepens.

Early in the film, we see a clip of the late sports commentator Jimmy Snyder explaining the prowess of African American male athletes according to a wildly offensive yet common eugenicist’s framework: “The slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman, so that he could have a big black kid, see. I mean, that’s where it all started.” The barely-visible sliver of truth in Snyder’s statement is that there is indeed a slave/master dynamic at play in professional sports, where black players especially are seen as the property not only of the league but of the majority white fans who crowd the stadiums and mainly white commentators who speculate in elaborate studios paid for by major corporations.

A section of Donald Trump’s much-vaunted border wall between the United States and Mexico has blown over in high winds, US border patrol officers have been reported as saying. The steel panels, more than nine metres (30ft) high, began to lean at a sharp angle on the border between the Californian town of Calexico and Mexicali in Mexico amid gusts on Wednesday. The section of wall was under construction at the time, with concrete anchors being put in place. But the strong winds blew the panels over onto the Mexican side of the border before the concrete had cured, according to reports. What exactly is Trump's border wall and why does he want $5.7bn for it? “Luckily, Mexican authorities responded quickly and were able to divert traffic from the nearby street,” said border patrol agent Carlos Pitones, according to the LA Times. The panels were being retrieved from the Mexican side and re-erected, Pitones said. https://www.theguardian.com/world/202... https://www.whytheracecard

On black police officers in America: “These situations on the street have put pressure on all police officers, not just black police officers. Of course, black police officers want to serve their community, their families and their race. They want to do the right thing to try to help these young people understand that you need to cooperate and that police officers are not your enemies. They’re your friends. They’re supposed to be peacemakers, not hurt you. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/

Getting killed by police is a leading cause of death for young black men in America About 1 in 1,000 black men and boys in America can expect to die at the hands of police, according to a new analysis of deaths involving law enforcement officers. That makes them 2.5 times more likely than white men and boys to die during an encounter with cops. The analysis also showed that Latino men and boys, black women and girls and Native American men, women and children are also killed by police at higher rates than their white peers. But the vulnerability of black males was particularly striking. “That 1-in-1,000 number struck us as quite high,” said study leader Frank Edwards, a sociologist at Rutgers University. “That’s better odds of being killed by police than you have of winning a lot of scratch-off lottery games.” The number-crunching by Edwards and his coauthors also revealed that for all young men, police violence was one of the leading causes of death in the years 2013 to 2018. ht
