As Noah alludes to below, this leads to a kind of "special pleading" which is a claim that whatever they're defending is an exception to a general or a universal principle. In this case, exception to a history of oppression. However, in a lot of cases this shows up as an incorrect exception.

Just because you're a man doesn't mean the male gaze doesn't land on you, too. It doesn't mean patriarchy doesn't want to ruin your life, too. When your sisters talk about destroying those things, they're talking about freeing you, too.

"Why Black people don't call the police." And "Why cops make the murder rate go up." Part 1000. Award winning musician GloRilla's house was burglarized by home invaders who knew she would be performing at a concert. Police showed up and... searched her house for drugs...🤔 And charged her.🤡
Rapper GloRilla performs "Let Her Cook" at the BET awards in a white suit and hat. Her backup dancers are dressed as servers.

Laura is absolutely correct here. If we understand a “bias” to be a disposition in favor of some outcomes and not others, any LLM trained on our existing culture will display similar dispositions in favor of the maintenance of structures of oppression.

Folks are putting too many conditions on who should or shouldn’t get snatched up, disappeared, & detained. I don’t care if someone is caught allegedly doing something, the constitutional right to due process & legal representation exists for all, not some. What we’re seeing is state kidnapping.

the rational assumption for most people at this point on seeing agents of the state is that there’s a good chance they’re going to kidnap or murder you, whether they’re real agents or fake ones this is America

But none of that will happen.🤷🏿‍♂️ Because in the US, we have absolutely no authority to hold cops accountable for this stuff. Because both Dems and GOP like having a police force that can crush Black protest without accountability. Like I said, racism is just fascism practiced on Black people first.
