#Racism doesn’t go away because laws are past. #Racism can only be defeated by education and people wanting to change. The #CivilRightsAct didn’t end racism, it just made it harder for people to discriminate against people based on #Race. It wasn’t a foolproof remedy…
#Hate and #Racism still exist but they are not as obvious as before, at least not for most people. #Racism is just evil and it likes to hide in the darkness. What does it do? It pools together until it becomes strong enough to be a threat. Like roaches breeding or rats.
Unfortunately, sometimes #Racism find dark recesses in our institutions and it grows. Law enforcement has been one and maybe it’s because there isn’t enough oversight because police like to police their own. So the few bad apples cause problems with deadly consequences…

In 2020 and 2022, we asked #liberals and #conservatives to estimate how many unarmed black men were killed by police during the previous year.

Which group was more accurate?

Did accuracy improve over time?

Here's what we found.

2020 Survey: "How many unarmed black men were killed by police in 2019?"

The Washington Post's police shooting database says 12.

2022 official statistics update from @OHID

#Dental health of 5 year old children in England

One third of 5 yr olds have tooth decay (29.3%)

Those in the most deprived areas of England are 2.5 times more likely to have decay than in the least deprived (35.1% Vs 13.5%)

🧵/1
From 2008 to 2017 there was a clear trend of significant improvement in the prevalence of tooth decay in 5 year olds in England (from 30.9% to 23.3%)

**There have been no further significant improvements in oral health since 2017**

#dentistry #Health #oralhealth

🧵/2
#Oralhealth inequalities have previously been highlighted as a #publichealth problem

There is a positive association between decay experience and deprivation, as deprivation increases so does decay experience

REMEMBER THIS 👇 in upcoming debates, if YOUR representative says words to the effect of: "Oh no, we're not trying to destroy #HumanRights. We agree Human Rights are important - honest, guv! - we just don't like the UK #HumanRightsAct and/or the #EuropeanConvention (#ECHR)"...
Such claims are DEMONSTRABLY BULLSHIT if they come from the mouth of *anyone* who supports the position @CPhilpOfficial has espoused, which the @Telegraph has splashed on its front page...
To be clear, #Article4 of #UDHR 👇 (also #ECHR and #HRA) is explicit and unambiguous:

"NO ONE shall be held in #slavery or #servitude; slavery and the #slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms."

Not "British citizens"; not "lawful residents", or "people we like"... Article 1 All human beings are born free & equal in dignity

"The erosion of meaningful culture, the domination of corporate & state media [] the loss of a knowledgable audience. And as one sees w/ the Russophobic response to Ukraine, the entire pandemic only served as a precursor to some complete mental collapse."

"And perhaps the best place (or one of them) to start is with ideas of #autonomy, #AI, and #tech (#media). For #automation and the internet have both, in their own ways, contributed hugely to the layers of mystification surrounding everything in the #capitalist west today."
"#AI seeks to achieve the same control over mental processes that #scientific management sought to achieve over physical #labour [in 2nd industrial revolution] through a process of rationalization, fragmentation, mechanization and routinization."

Good morning! In about 10 minutes, we will be expanding on our discussion of Individual Causes of Delinquency by looking at #gender & #delinquency

I look forward to your questions & following along. How do you identify?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley
The term #gender is complex, so what elements of delinquency are we going to examine in this discussion?

We are going to try to answer the question as to why gender differences are significant in the study of delinquency

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley Image
I think it is essential to acknowledge that gender identity is much more complex than differences between male & female offending

1/15 Senior academic whose MO was to exploit non-white researchers on low-paid contracts to extract data from 'diverse' communities gets a major fellowship - working for them was infuriating, at times traumatic tbh, and an education on #race in #academia.
2/15 I'm now wary of research groups specialising in migrants/diversity with hardly any non-white people. This senior white scholar claimed a level of expertise they didn't have, but got away with it because so few POCs in academia are in positions to question their authority
3/15 In this case this senior white scholar (SWS) led bizarre tours of migrant neighbourhoods as if they were holiday tours, asking researchers to observe everyday behaviour of 'diverse' people in various settings, as if they were animals in a zoo...

271/365-The Fastest Indian, was the name given to the #Bajaj #Pulsar220F, the carburetted variant of the legendary 220cc sports bike from BAL launched in 2009. The 220F churned out 20.9bhp and 18.55 Nm and had a top speed of 134 Kmph yet returning good mileage of 35 kmpl. ImageImageImageImage

1/4 #Census #Race and Ethnicity data quick takes - Headlines are emphasizing white population decline...but! Non-Hispanic White people still make up the majority (nearly 60%) of US, and they comprise the largest group in ALL but 3 states (Hawaii, CA, NM) washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/…
(2/4) Headlines align w/ racial anxieties & perceptions of anti-white discrimination (note @PRRIpoll data-Republicans more likely to say whites face discrimination than to say Blacks, Latinos, or Asians face discrimination -these views intensifying according to @nataliemj10
(3/4) The political implications of demographic change are clear. Latinos make-up the largest OR 2nd-largest racial group in 24 US states; Black people account for largest OR 2nd-largest in 18 states. Asian Americans are the fastest-growing group nationally & in many states

Excerpts from "'America’s Post-Pandemic Geography' - Covid-19 is transforming all types of communities, from big cities to suburbs to rural areas" - from the Summer 2021 Issue of @CityJournal - by @Richard_Florida & @joelkotkin. A #Thread.

The article → city-journal.org/americas-post-…
1. "The #Pandemic will pass...But in geographic terms, today’s Covid-precipitated crises may well prove to be the most transformative event that #America has experienced since the great migration to the suburbs after World War II."
2. "....centrifugal forces pull some people out of #Cities: families seek more #Affordable space, backyards, and access to better schools. With the wider scope of choice that #RemoteWork affords, some are casting their nets wider and moving farther afield..."
