Let's talk about systems. On December 1, 1913, Henry Ford installed the first moving assembly line for the mass production of an entire automobile. His innovation reduced the time it took to build a car from more than 12 hours to 2 hours and 30 minutes. The new system was much more efficient. Under the old system, even if EVERY worker was productive, building a car took 12 hours. Why did the new system drastically improve productivity? Because systems affect outcomes. Are there police officers who are good people, with good intentions? Of course! But this does not change the fact that the SYSTEM is broken. If racist, prejudiced cops are being given a license to kill, and black people are being murdered at astronomically disproportionate rates, the system is broken. If laws and sentencing are applied to benefit some racial groups and not others, the system is broken. Have you ever wondered why being caught for underage drinking or doing drugs at a white college party has little to no consequences, but there are black men who have been in prison for years for possession of marijuana (even though white America has now turned marijuana into a big business)? Once a crime is no longer associated with blackness, it is deemed more socially acceptable. #SystematicRacismExplained …see more
