Systemic racism in science: Reactions matter
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adj7675
“‘The history of the scientific enterprise demonstrates that it has supported gender, identity, and racial inequity. Further, its institutions have allowed discrimination, harassment, and personal harm of racialized persons and women.’”

@malin @LeviKornelsen Yah. I've dug through a lot of that old public domain art (at least what the British Library system has to offer).
When it comes to non-white depictions, there are a number of dignified-looking ethnographic portraits. But even the more well intentioned depictions tend to support an "exotic other" portrayal, compared to any Europeans. And there are a number of caricatures which pretty horrible.
I would really prefer AIs *not* work from this type of data.

Among U.S. Black men, how much life is lost due to police use of force? 3,772 years per 100,000, the highest among any group — roughly 16,000 years of life lost for today’s Black men.

It seems appropriate the day after #Juneteenth the SideBar episode discusses how the 13th Amendment did not eliminate all slavery. How does the for-profit prison system and the fact that it is constitutional for incarcerated prisoners to work without pay incentivize mass incarceration and provide a perverse incentive to undermine public safety?

New research on police use of force adds to mounting evidence that structural racism adversely affects the health of Black people in the U.S.

The moment I turned to share this article in Mastodon, I saw the post by @nataliedavisgdread because it was boosted by @xerophile wonder when news media will be attacked for reporting on clear CRT and systemic racism in America. #CRT #SystemicRacism

The Scott Trust said it expected to invest more than £10m (US$12.3m, A$18.4m), with millions dedicated specifically to descendant communities linked to the Guardian’s 19th-century founders links to profiting off of slavery in the textile industry.

"Neoliberal ideology drives us to focus on individuals, ourselves, individual victims, individual perpetrators. But how is it possible to solve the massive problem of racist state violence by calling upon individual police officers to bear the burden of that history and to assume that by prosecuting them, by exacting our revenge on them, we would have somehow made progress in eradicating racism?"

Absolutely. #SystemicRacism induces a lot of #ImplicitBias. By which I mean, regardless of whether CPS needs to be called, surely they are called on/for Black folx more than others. I mean, I'm not an expert on that data, but it would not or does not surprise me at all.
Thank you! Just doing my part. A lot of the #COVID stuff stemmed from being a researcher on a vaccine trial too.
You have to keep in mind that #GeorgeFloyd was murdered here in #Minneapolis during COVID, both of which were having huge impacts in the #Black community due to #SystemicRacism.
So to some degree, as a local #BlackDoctor, who grew up in a primarily Black neighborhood here, I honestly felt a pretty significant responsibility to do a lot.

I wrote a commentary for my column at SOJ that the editor had to turn down because it wasn't #localjournalism focused. It deals with the culture war brewing about #SystemicRacism. Whether it exists or not. I posted it to my blog instead in hopes it might generate some discussion.

Just as there will always be women helping perpetuate #patriarchy, there will always be Black people helping to perpetuate #SystemicRacism, in this case by writing an incredibly stupid op-ed column which, either through ignorance or malice, entirely misunderstands and misrepresents the concept of #ImplicitBias and the point of educating people about it.

Yes, my friend, the United States has a very long history of #SystemicRacism as clearly explain by @HeatherCoxRichardson
Blacks, Japanese, Germans, Chinese and Italians were among those affected.
“As the 1922 case indicated, Asian Americans could not rely on the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1868, to permit them to become citizens, because a law from 1790 knocked a hole in that amendment.”
