“Black people are seven times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people and five times more likely to be subjected to the use of force … 10% of our recorded searches, 27% of use-of-force incidents and 35% of Taser incidents involved someone from a Black ethnic group. The latest estimates suggest that only 3.5% of the population is Black.”

My heart is breaking for that little girl in Ireland. Everyone given a medal except her. Watching the realisation on her face going from joy to shock to sadness and not a single adult there recognised the harm done. #institutionalRacism#Ireland
Perhaps unpopular opinion - #StarTrekDiscovery tried very hard to address issues of bigotry, #trans rights, etc. S2E2 of #StarTrek#StrangeNewWorlds captures in one episode - with more nuance - both that and #institutionalracism - what Discovery tried for a season to say - and binds the point far more compellingly to the broader history of civil rights.
