Unfortunately, that also means that hateful behavior also goes on. Over the course of the last few months, there have been three incidents that require us to consider how and why people hurt one another because of their race.<\/p>\n<p>The first incident involved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/ahmaud-arbery-shooting-timeline-case-n1204306\">Georgia resident Ahmaud Arbery<\/a>. He was shot and killed by a father and his adult son while jogging. The shooters thought Arbery looked like someone accused of theft in their neighborhood. A third man filmed the incident and has since been arrested for his role in trying to detain Arbery with his vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>The second incident involved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/george-floyd-minneapolis-police-officers-fired-kneeling-death-video\/\">George Floyd, a resident of Minnesota<\/a>. He was accused of forgery, arrested, and handcuffed by police. While lying on the ground next to the police car, Floyd was suffocated by a police officer kneeling on his neck. Video from the scene shows that Floyd and onlookers begged for his life because he could not breathe. Sadly, this case harkens back to the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/3c72405c9f874844a84b0ca658402078\">killing of Eric Garner by a police officer in 2014<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The third incident involved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/central-park-karen-white-woman-calls-cops-black-man-leash-dog\/\">New Yorker and avid bird watcher Christian Cooper<\/a>. He was in Central Park in an area that requires that dogs be leashed. A woman was letting her dog run off-leash, so he asked her to put her dog on a leash. That\u2019s it. Her response was to call the police and report that Cooper was threatening her life. The video that Cooper took at the scene clearly shows no threats were made. What does each of these incidents have in common? All the victims were African-American. All the perpetrators were White. All the incidents point to a persistent and disturbing undercurrent in our society.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-110164 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/Wandbild_Portrait_George_Floyd_von_Eme_Street_Art_im_Mauerpark_Berlin-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"A graffiti mural portrait of George Floyd that says &quot;I can't breathe&quot; and &quot;#SayHisName.&quot;\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/Wandbild_Portrait_George_Floyd_von_Eme_Street_Art_im_Mauerpark_Berlin-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/Wandbild_Portrait_George_Floyd_von_Eme_Street_Art_im_Mauerpark_Berlin-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/Wandbild_Portrait_George_Floyd_von_Eme_Street_Art_im_Mauerpark_Berlin-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/Wandbild_Portrait_George_Floyd_von_Eme_Street_Art_im_Mauerpark_Berlin-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/Wandbild_Portrait_George_Floyd_von_Eme_Street_Art_im_Mauerpark_Berlin-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sociologically speaking, these incidents are not simply about <strong>race<\/strong>, <em>a socially constructed category of people based on real or perceived physical differences<\/em>. The color of a person\u2019s skin does not cause them to shoot another person or suffocate someone. There are billions of people around the world, and millions in the U.S., who would never dream of hurting another person simply because their skin color is lighter or darker. Yet, these types of incidents persist. While one could easily say that these cases are cut-and-dried examples of <strong>prejudice,<\/strong> <em>a preconceived judgment or opinion of other people and races that lead to preferring one kind of person over another, <\/em>and <strong>racial discrimination<\/strong>, <em>unfair or differential treatment of individuals and groups based on race and ethnicity<\/em>, these cases are more than that. These incidents speak to the broader trend of <strong>racial profiling<\/strong>, <em>action taken against members of a minority group based on things other than personal behavior<\/em>. One could argue that of the three incidents, Floyd was accused of a crime and in the process of being arrested. However, forgery is not an executional offense, and suffocating someone is not part of the police job description.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-110166 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/05\/pexels-life-matters-3043471-4613912-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"A crowd at a protest with signs.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/05\/pexels-life-matters-3043471-4613912-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/05\/pexels-life-matters-3043471-4613912-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/05\/pexels-life-matters-3043471-4613912-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/05\/pexels-life-matters-3043471-4613912-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/05\/pexels-life-matters-3043471-4613912-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to racial profiling, one also has to consider the role of <strong>white privilege<\/strong>, <em>an invisible package of unearned assets held by Whites<\/em>, in the actions of the perpetrators. The woman videotaped in Central Park specifically tells Cooper BEFORE making the call that she will tell police he is a Black man. As a White woman, she chose to weaponize race to her advantage. Even though she was in the wrong for not having her dog on a leash, she felt confident in calling the police on an innocent man. That is white privilege.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Thompson is a co-owner of\u00a0<\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/uitac.com\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b><i>UITAC Publishing<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a><b><i>.
