___________ While Black

Well, I posted a case in another thread, of a death apparently due to ketamine injection.It seems clear to me that the drug was becoming a customary chemical weapon, used on helpless victims towards whom the actors harbored animus.

There's a name for the emotion that makes us want to hurt others. The name is hate.

Black families pay significantly higher property taxes than white families, new analysis shows
Unfair property assessments lead to widespread overtaxation of black Americans’ homes

https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...-property-tax/

State by state, neighborhood by neighborhood, black families pay 13 percent more in property taxes each year than a white family would in the same situation, a massive new data analysis shows.

Black-owned homes are consistently assessed at higher values, relative to their actual sale price, than white homes, according to a new working paper by economists Troup Howard of the University of Utah and Carlos Avenancio-León of Indiana University.

African Americans have long said they bear a disproportionate burden for taxes that support local police, schools and parks, but nationwide measures of this type of systemic racism are hard to come by.

To expose the structural and historical factors behind these discriminatory property tax assessments, the economists analyzed more than a decade of tax assessment and sales data for 118 million homes throughout the country.

Systemic racism laid bare with hard data.

The cops say he was being uncooperative when asked to leave the store. Who would be "uncooperative" about leaving after they just made a purchase?
