TITLE: Blog post on racism and risk assessment

-------- Forwarded Message --------

Hi folks:

It’s probably of interest only to a few on this list, but since I was
posting it elsewhere...

This week's /Sexual Abuse/ blog is on racism and risk assessment.
Obviously, no single blog post can cover everything on this topic, but I
did what I could.

All the best,

Jesus. My 'liberal' NIMBY-esque neighborhood of Rockridge is starting civilian 'safety' patrols. WTF.

From the Q&A in the local newsletter:

"What will the driver do if they see an incident in progress? - Our drivers' primary duty is to observe, support, report, and when necessary serve as expert witness. When they see unusual activity, rather than make assumptions, they approach the scene in a friendly manner and ask if someone requires assistance before determining the next best response."

I wonder how much time their civilian drivers have spent interrogating their 'assumptions.'

by IsabelaDias in #MotherJones:

"The controversy at New Trier and the divisions it triggered in the community may seem familiar now. But the conflict didn’t take place in the volatile pandemic years when efforts to boost equity and diversity, teach comprehensive history, and implement pandemic-related health measures in schools sparked outrage from concerned parents and culture wars enthusiasts. It happened in early 2017, about a month after former President Donald Trump took office."

It doesn’t add up:

Math teachers who believe women no longer face discrimination tend to be biased against girls’ ability in math. And effects of bias like this can snowball over time.

Why are some #Equity practitioners still fixated on teaching #implicitbias or #UnconsciousBias training when it clearly doesn't work? #UrbanEquity #EDI #DEI

California’s black mothers are over 3x more likely to die due to pregnancy or delivery complications than white mothers.

This #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, join us in spreading awareness & reducing health disparities.

This is an explicit example of #implicitbias that was posted via Twitter, in reference to a #female #surgical trainee. Check out some of the responses via this link https://twitter.com/PedsDrJeff/status/1635973164160229376?s=20

#ImplicitBias isn’t “unconscious”?

“…participants in all 17 studies were able to accurately predict the patterns of their IAT results (…b = .44) …across samples, settings [online vs. in-person lab studies], countries …, and languages…. [These] results strengthen the hypothesis that cognitions reflected on implicit evaluations are accessible to conscious awareness.”

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.

Kids these days...coddled and fed junk food. That's the #ImplicitBias that supports fierce debates about the stigmatized disease of #obesity. It also sets up barriers to decent #healthcare for both young and old persons living with it.

Kudos to Justin Ryder for his dialogue with Politico and to my colleagues who documented implicit bias in the language of the #diabetes and obesity literature for a new publication in Diabetic Medicine.

*sigh*
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.
