There are 3 types of not knowing: 1.what we can't know, 2.what we don't care, & 3.what we don't want to know. #racialjustice- Powell: when there's tension b/w conscious and unconscious, the unconscious usually wins. #racialjustice
To be racially colorblind is a failure to fully embrace a person's humanity,it is a denial of their experiences&reality #racialjustice- Over 80% of police use of deadly force were preceded by threat to masculiniity. #racialjustice

- Goff in sum: if we only look for racial bias, we might miss the patterns that lead to fatal outcomes. #racialequity
- Goff introduces "The Macho Factor" - why would proving manhood influence racial bias in police brutality/fatality? #racialequity
- Goff is showing videos that show what complicates threats - pre measured prejudice was not always the motivating factor. #racialequity
- Goff referred to an increase in suspect fatalities when male suspect flirted w/ officer or called officer "fag." #racialequity
- Godsil: You can have "in group" preference without "out group animus" - yet another complication to the debate. #racialequity
