In a timely piece Psychology Today Blogs, Art Markman examines the current state of research into the extent to which race affects police shootings of unarmed suspects.

The five minutes it will take you to read it is well worth the expenditure. Some of the findings may surprise you, especially as regards information received from police dispatchers.

Big Bucks in Bigotry 0

In the Des Moines Registry, Todd Blodgett, who used to monitor hate groups for the FBI, explains that not only does hate sell, it pays, and pays big. A snippet:

A full-time hater I monitored, the late Willis Carto, ran a media empire based on anti-Semitism with annual revenues exceeding $10 million during the seven years he and I were professionally associated. It’s NOT only hillbilly bigots or violent, tattooed, racist skinheads who support this putridity. The great-grand niece of inventor Thomas Edison, Jean Farrell, left $17 million to a Carto-controlled entity in the 1990s, to create doubt that the Holocaust never happened. From 1971 until the early 1990s, the former son-in-law of President Franklin Roosevelt, Curtis Dall, headed the Liberty Lobby, an organization that promoted anti-Semitism and white supremacy. Blaming Jews for societal strife has occurred since before William Shakespeare was born in 1564. But it’s now being stepped up, even in Iowa.

Anti-Humans 0

Shirley Chisholm:  In the end anti-black, anti-female, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing:  anti-humanism.

When I became eligible to vote, the first vote I cast in a election was a write-in for Shirley Chisholm. I have never regretted it.
