Muted. But listening. But learning. #blackouttuesd

Did you know that: ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ❌ By getting in $Did you know that: ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ❌ By getting in a car, a black driver has about twice the odds of being pulled over, and about four times the odds of being searched (Baumgartner et al., 2018).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ❌ Between 2012 and 2014, LAPD received more than 1,350 citizen complaints of racial profiling. The department didn’t uphold a single complaint. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ❌ Officers speak with consistently less respect toward black versus white community members, even after controlling for the race of the officer, the severity of the infraction, the location of the stop, and the outcome of the stop (Voigt et al., 2017).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ❌ The probability of being black, unarmed, and shot by police is about 3.49 times the probability of being white, unarmed, and shot by police on average (Ross, 2015).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Did reading these made you feel uncomfortable, frustrated, angry? I hope so. These are just some of the examples of the reality here in the U.S. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Us white people need to check our privilege, listen, donate, show up, and finally: speak up. White silence is compliance.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Don’t get me wrong. I’m by no means perfect. I’m new in this country and I’m still learning about the context, history, and vocabulary of racial inequalities. But as the lovely @toni_adeyemi said on IG: “its better to say something and get corrected than say nothing at all.” #blacklivesmatter #justiceforgeorgefloyd$
