On this date in 2004, the city of New York agreed to pay $3 million to the family of Amadou Diallo.
He was an unarmed West African immigrant shot to death by police nearly five years earlier.
Representing New York, Michael Cardozo, corporation counsel for the city, said in a statement announcing the settlement: “The mayor, the police department and the city deeply regret what occurred and extend their sympathies to the Diallo family.”
Diallo was shot to death in the entrance hall of his Bronx apartment building on Feb. 4, 1999, by undercover officers who said they mistook his wallet for a gun. The officers fired 41 shots, hitting the street vendor from Guinea 19 times and making the killing an international symbol of police brutality.

I am certain that many of the model minority sycophants on this site have me on ignore, of which is a good thing for their sakes, but isn't it quite funny that NONE of them are commenting on the attempt at an insurrection going on in DC right now?
Are WHITE PEOPLE SIMPLY COMPLAINING, NOT PULLING UP THEIR BOOTSTRAPS?!

Mortality rate for Black babies is cut dramatically when they’re delivered by Black doctors, researchers say
"Although infant mortality in the United States has been decreasing, the gap between Black and White infants has persisted, Hardeman says. The root, she says, lies in structural racism.
She defines structural racism as the “normalization and legitimization of an array of dynamics — historical, cultural, institutional and interpersonal — that routinely advantage Whites while producing cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color.”
“Key open questions include the following: 1) whether physician race proxies for differences in physician practice behavior, 2) if so, which practices, and 3) what actions can be taken by policymakers, administrators, and physicians to ensure that all newborns receive optimal care,” they wrote. “Reducing racial disparities in newborn mortality will also require raising awareness among physicians, nurses, and hospital administrators about the prevalence of racial and ethnic disparities, their effects, furthering diversity initiatives, and revisiting organizational routines in low-performing hospitals.”
"Hardeman says that by adulthood so many disadvantages have accumulated to affect a Black woman’s health that the race of the doctor may not make a difference.
She says that, by adulthood, structural racism has already been at play, and that racial concordance is not enough to counteract the “cumulative” disadvantages that often benefit White women and lead to adverse outcomes for Black women.
“It also means the cumulative experience of racism and sexism, throughout the lifecourse, can trigger a chain of biological processes, known as weathering, that undermine Black women’s physical and mental health.”

Clarence Thomas’ Wife Gleefully Cheered On White Supremacists At The Capitol
Social media users think Justice Thomas should be impeached over his wife's failure to censure herself after continually sharing far-right extremist conspiracy theories on Facebook.
Reckonings continue inside the Beltway as public figures continue to be exposed for their blatant complicity regarding the violent mob who attacked Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
The latest is that of Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas who on Jan. 6 posted two disparaging posts on Facebook aligning with the baseless claims to overturn the outcome of the election, while sending support to the majority white, violent mob that attacked the Capitol.
