[Bgs-list] It's not just white cops...

[Charles Baker]

A point I wanted to make during the call today but didn't get around to
making it. In this story from my hometown, Jackson, MS a black cop choked a
black man. At least the man being choked didn't die but still.

Which was part of why I shared a link to the book "Chokehold: Policing
Black Men" in the chat.

And just yesterday I listened to this podcast

Why the Coronavirus Is so Deadly for Black America
https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/vox/the-ezra-klein-show/e/69533249

The person being interview is Dr. David Williams, black man, professor at
the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The episode is really about
how racism is killing us via a death of a thousand small cuts.

not hold good as between slaves and overseers. he was whipped oftener who
was whipped easiest” — Frederick Douglass
