#Brüssel fordert #Anti- #Rassismus in der #Polizei – #Berlin liefert das Gegenteil.

Es hätte ein wichtiger Meilenstein in der #europäischen #Rassismusbekämpfung und der Bekämpfung von #Racial Profiling werden sollen. Als die #EU-Kommission im Herbst 2020 einen ambitionierten Fünfjahresplan vorstellte, zeichnete sie auf 27 Seiten ein ungewohnt deutliches Bild des diskriminierenden Alltags in der EU – und formulierte zugleich konkrete Maßnahmen, um dem entgegenzutreten.

"Voloj and Sapolsky connected at the 2016 convention and realized they shared a vision: A #comic that would depict diverse #Jewish #stories.

Sapolsky, who is #French-#American with #Ashkenazi and #Sephardic roots, had been a comic creator for many years, including for #Marvel and #DC.

“He had this network of illustrators,” Voloj said. “I had the network of ethnically, racially diverse #Jews.”

Voloj serves as the executive director for Be’Chol Lashon, an organization dedicated to highlighting Jewish #diversity through community events and art. In November 2023, with the organization’s support, Voloj and Sapolsky created a sampler of their imagined anthology “Hyphen: #JewishStories in Our Own Words” featuring three stories about Jews who did not fit the archetypal image of what a Jew should be, whether that be because of their #racial identity, #ethnic identity, or #LGBTQ+ identity."

#FaceRecognition & the ‘Trump Terror’: A Marriage Made in Hell

Face recognition is a dragnet #surveillance tech & its expansion within law enforcement over the last 20 years has been marred by systematic invasions of #privacy , inaccuracies, unreliable results, & #racial disparities. As some parts of law enforcement have rushed to deploy it, this tech has sparked deep opposition, & over 20 jurisdictions across the country have banned their local police from using it.

When I looked into IP cameras a few years back, seeing that merely a few chip vendors are involved and tons of whitelabeling businesses exist, at some point I read about "#racial detection" and such.

High Court Leans Toward Limiting Voting Rights Act Suits

By Katie Buehler

The #U.S. #SupremeCourt #conservative #supermajority seemed ready Wednesday to further #limit the use of the #VotingRightsAct in challenging alleged #racial #discrimination in #legislative #redistricting but appeared divided over how to accomplish that. [via Law360]

Justice #Kagan is pointing out that Section 2 of the #VotingRightsAct is not aimed at preventing #racial #discrimination that comes as an effect of #redistricting, regardless of its intent by map drawers.

“Section 2 is not about intentional discrimination. Section 2 is about effects,” Kagan says.

If things were to be #demographically correct I would expect a #bias towards images of #indian, #chinese, or #japanese #engineers without the #racial qualifier. 2/3

Just to underline how much the US fell

Only one year ago
#Racial profiling or racial discrimination was ILLEGAL and anti Constitutional

Today in #Trump's #dictatorship
It is a Government mandate
with armed and masked paramilitary groups that swarm on the streets of #America.

@Kerplunk The definition of #genocide in itself is problematic. It states: "committed with #intent to #destroy, in whole or in part, a #national, #ethnic, #racial or #religious group". But the intent comes from the #perpetrator. And of course it will claim: we did not have that intent.

Governments don't announce that they're fascist. They announce that anti-fascists are enemies of the state.

Besides the Census #Scientific Advisory Cmte [#CSAC], the U.S. #Commerce Department last winter killed the Census Advisory Cmte, which advised on the upcoming 2030 #census, & the National Advisory Cmte, which offered insight on how to accurately count & collect #data from #racial, #ethnic & other communities. At the time, #Trump Commerce Secretary #HowardLutnick said the cmtes’ purposes “have been fulfilled.”

The advocates of "#conservative, #religious lifestyles" elected an #amoral #lying #fraud who is a serial #rapist and #incestuous #pedophile.

These "upright" folks, influenced by #racial, #class, and #sexual identity #fear and #hysteria promote #violence #intimidation and #exclusion in the name of their #god.

There's no reasoning with most of these "#righteous folks", as they are transfixed by their #hatred, #twisted #nationalist beliefs, #ignorance and #bigotry.
