...to analyze based on implicit, not explicit, bias; and to control for other rationales such as ideology and partisanship. With all that stripped away, racial prejudice remained.

#TheSumOfUs

Deep & Heavy episode of #Amicus #podcast #DahliaLithwick @Dahlialith

“In the first of Amicus’ summer series of conversations about books and podcasts that have helped us look at the Supreme Court from a different angle, Dahlia Lithwick is joined by #JoelAnderson, host of Season 8 of Slate’s #SlowBurn podcast: #BecomingJusticeThomas. They talk about the experiences and people who helped shape Justice Thomas’ worldview and how deeply his jurisprudence is rooted in a kind of “cruel to be kind” ethos from his childhood. And why he was so blind to the challenges and suffering of so many Black women in his life. 
Next, Dahlia talks to #HeatherMcGhee, Author #TheSumofUs: WHAT RACISM COSTS EVERYONE AND HOW WE CAN PROSPER TOGETHER, about her books and podcast, and what they can teach us about a Supreme Court that is inclined to frame the world as zero-sum.”

#RacialBias often creeps into #HomeAppraisals.

Years of #homeowner horror stories & a growing body of research has cast a harsh light on how frequently racial bias can skew home appraisals. It's an industry that's dominated by white men whose methods for valuing homes haven't changed much in decades.

@FlamerHooks True! Heather McGhee's #TheSumOfUs is a tour de force exposition on this.
