    In this case the null hypothesis I'm referring to has been pretty stable - that police interactions should be expected to be proportional to population percentages not weighted by levels of criminality. Same hypothesis is getting traction with school discipline too.

    If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

      Sure, equal outcomes for all groups will be a safely stable goal, which will indicate the necessity for progressive politics for the lifetimes of everybody alive today, and long thereafter.

      Education is extremely important.

        "BLACK LIVES CAN'T MATTER UNTIL HALF LIVES MATTER."

        Radioactive, baby!

        "BLACK LIVES CAN'T MATTER UNTIL FLETCH LIVES MATTERS."

        I saw that thing sitting in Blockbuster so many times, and I never, ever borrowed it.

        I was only joking

          Make it black half-lives.

          Then we can apply Zeno's paradox and declare progress impossible.

              It's interesting to me that we live in an era in which this could be considered so racist that it could put someone on some sort of list.

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  More truth in that meme than I care to think about.

                    Yup. I posted it not to be funny, but to add some perspective.

                      When I hear someone say, "there's nothing I hate more than sexism and injustice," I know there's a very high chance that person has a dearth of real problems, including dealing with sexism and injustice.

                        There is probably an equivalent somewhere in the eviction narrative. I’ve read an article somewhere about “black and brown people” getting evicted at a higher rate, but that article says nothing about whether there is any correlation to falling behind on rent or mortgage payments.
