As black person in America, you are never protected. Wearing a military uniform will not protect you. Standing your ground will not protect you. Calling your mother will not protect you. Pleas from bystanders will not protect you. And the police certainly will not protect you.

I am forever grateful to Jim Sidanius as an advisor. He always made time for me, encouraged me to study what I was passionate about, showed the power of tackling important questions with data, and fearlessly questioned inequality. Thank you Jim, for everything.

"Racism is built into the DNA of America. And as long as we turn a blind eye to the pain of those suffering under its oppression, we will never escape those origins." ~Annalise Keating

Deeply troubling. I hope this brave response and detailed evidence from Steven Roberts can spark real change. But it also saddens me that real change so often seems to require taking a Black man's pain and putting it on public display.
