Shepard Faireyさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Shepard FaireyInstagram)「"Bias by Numbers" addresses racial bias in policing, criminal justice, and media culture. Racial bias in policing and criminal justice has a long history, including stats like – Black people being five times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people, and four times more likely to be subjected to unnecessary use of force, or four times more likely to be killed by the police when unarmed. The statistics revealing racial bias in prosecution and sentencing are compelling as well. Though recreational drug use is equally common in predominantly Black and predominantly white communities, convictions for drug possession are almost six times higher for Black people. Black Americans frequently receive longer prison sentences than white Americans, contributing to African Americans being incarcerated more than five times the rate of whites.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁠⠀⁠ Racial bias in police enforcement undermines public trust and presents a significant threat to the legitimacy of law enforcement in all communities. However, racial prejudice as a police issue may be intensified by other cultural factors that are both overt and insidious. Media characterizations of Black protesters use words such as "agitators," "lawless thugs," "hoodlums," "mob," and many more. In contrast, descriptions of white protesters typically read as individuals "exercising free speech," "expressing their convictions," and "showing what democracy looks like." I hope this art doesn't just appeal visually but allows viewers to look at the layers of information and facts and how to make positive changes to patterns of injustice.⁠ – Shepard⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁠⠀⁠ From the archives: Bias By Numbers, 2017⁠ Handcut Rubylith Illustration⁠ 19 1/2 x 21 5/8 inches」7月9日 5時25分
