to a feeder because it was shown that in the baltimore uprising in the protests in response to freddie gray you know they were literally using that data using you know facial expression recognition to lock young people high school students tracking them on public transportation and locking them up in nj rolls because of the protests so you know when it comes down to data when it comes down to the actual use of the machine learning out rhythms behind the patient recognition software none of none of this is going to change unless we have public accountability and transparency unless you know instead of amazon kind of working in bathrooms and you. behind and out of public view with with law enforcement that people in the community the public have an opportunity to say you know what this is not something that we want being used against us in our communities and certainly not with you know our own data now briefly there have been several tech scandals involving data abuse recently if people become suspicious of what private firms or government might do with their data where is the out card here

then ask daniel ray thomas, jordan davis, eric garner, walter scott, john crawford, michael brown, freddy gray and so many others. if this is true in some sense you are looking at the walking dead because i am already did. we need to talk about that. why do students. my students are always reminding me they are not racist. we've made progress. we are not like our parents and grandparents we live in a post-racial america in which you can be whatever you want to be if you try hard enough. we don't use the n-word and we have plenty of black friends. when it comes to race and racism they claim to know about their own racism and they are certain they are not racist, they are at peace with who they are yet i would argue that it is precisely being at peace in the context of perpetuating white racism. what is the end of the day that they continue to be white racist despite all of their good intentions so let's ask the question was asked to be like this to be racist and as the so-called baby leave th they bee already positioned beyond the muck and mire of the power and complicity and there are many stu

but almost universally male, so rodney king, oscar grant , it's been micah brown, eric garner, freddy gray and of the list goes on and even this week i think if we asked the question what is the first thing that came to mind this week in terms of police of violent we would hear stephane clark and not cynthia clements who was killed by police outside of chicago last week, so i'm often then asked why is that the case. i think my answer always focuses on the power of the story and narratives and the story that so deeply entrenched that racial profiling and police violence happens exclusively to black men that we perceive it to be not transgender and not gay even though it might be. and that violence against women is something that only happens to white women in private spaces and some of us are just out here in the cold experiencing violence of both kinds every day. so, the goal with the book is to really expand our understanding of police violence and mass incarceration in this country by bringing into that narrative the story of black women and girls that have driven the growth in the women

so it's been rodney king, diallo, oscar grant, brown, eric garner, freddie gray, the list goes on and this week if we ask the quicker what's the first name that came to mind this week in terms of police violence, we would think stephan clark and not sylvia williams what was killed by police also. i ask why that's the case, and i think my answer always focuses really on the power of the story and of the narrative, and the story that is so deeply entrenched that racial profiling and police violence and state violence happens exclusively to black men, that we perceive to be not transgender and not gay, even though they might be, and that violence against women is something that only happens to white women in private spaces, and some of us out here in the cold. experiencing violence of both kinds every day without it being seen as part of any story. so, the goal with invisible no more was to really expand our understanding of police violence and racial profiling and mass incarceration and mass criminalization in the country by bringing into the narrative the stories of black women and gir

if we begin to peel back the structural onion of baltimore, you should want to know not why did freddie gray just get arrested, but why was he living in that particular part of west baltimore. and would he have been able to get it a job on the other side of town. and why were he and his sister lead poisoned in the 1990s. even though we know all we know about lead poisoning, we have to deal with those questions. so i'm going invite you to our next conference on this. >> can i add just one word to that? the word -- that's not there is ghetto. the turner commission said we need to dismantle the ghetto. concentrated black poverty is a government institution, and if you look, read james foreman's book, he basically said the inequality you talk about between upper income black people and lower income people, the structural thing, the structural consequences of concentrated black poverty. a situation where success is aberrational. only 1% of concentrated poverty schools succeed, regardless of race. and if that structure exists, and sometimes upper income black people are participating in the otheri

in baltimore, and he is very frustrated about the lack of coverage of issues in baltimore after freddie grayneed sustained coverage. you cannot just go in and write a story once a month or once every two months. i argue in my piece you are taking a city, the "washington post" would take baltimore, or omahauis, or, you know, or some other city that goes through problems and use it as a laboratory to find what is really going on and what are the solutions. people want to know how can we deal, i mean, the poverty in this country is so extreme, and it gets pushed aside. what are the reasons for it, and what are the solutions? i would like to see more of that kind of reporting. host: ken is on the line from new york. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you very much. i guess the essence of my question is can you speculate on the motive of the people who own and operate fox news? let's just leave it at that. 10 years ago, i alluded to going to ohio, and i foxat that time watching and listening to talk radio regularly and was struck by how people were not really paying that much attention to
