I would have to slightly agree with Whiggly considering that some things might be misread or misunderstood. Whiggly said that “the study found that race does have an effect, even when you control for other factors, not that those other factors have no effect.” With a quick glance, the article might be interpreted as…

We actually don’t know if 50% of homicides in the U.S. are committed by black people.

I’m having a hard time understanding what your argument is. I have a PhD in social psychology and I used to study related areas, and I regularly rage about science writers distorting the findings in a study, but Michael Harriot does not do that here (other than the regular hyperbole he employs in his writing, which is…

The only science in forensics is DNA testing.

This threw me off a bit as well when I first read it but when you think about it, it both makes sense and is in keeping with the conclusions found in the rest of the study. If police are arresting POC more often and on flimsier evidence than their white counterparts and prosecutors are then taking these objectively…

It’s easy to square. The conclusion of the article is that the problem is systemic.

This asshole again?

Well, you certainly couldn’t wait to “disprove” the premise of the article, before you actually thoroughly read and analyzed the paper with your clearly unbiased and educated mind. I’m sure everyone here who is not in the grays will be eager to hear how racism is not a major systematic problem in the US legal system.

You sound like the idiots arguing the civil war was about states rights, while ignoring that it was the state’s right to be racist. POC are more likely to get the criminal history to start and higher severity at every level of the investigation/charging/sentencing, which trickles through all those other criminal…

upon receiving the report the judge exclaimed, “this cant be right, im a judge and im not racist. go back and find the real reason.”

Really, what took them so long? Oregon’s Supreme Court commissioned a task force to look into racial/ethnic issues in the judicial system in 1994.

The specialized group made several recommendations to fix the issues they uncovered.

How many do you think have been implemented thus far?

It’s not that it’s news, it’s that someone took the time to actually research it and prove it to be true.

I am sorry, who is this “we” to which you’re referring?

White folk figured out racism!

Nah, but it’s useful ammunition in our many attempts at getting shit done.

The news isn’t that systemic racism exists:

The problem is white people and their systemic racism, got to stop them.

All food is absolutely disgusting, I’m amazed I can eat anything at all considering where literally all of it comes from.

kinda silly, one was showing rendering in a cinematic and the other was gameplay.....

There will absolutely be games that look like this.  There are games now that are 80% of this already.
