Encyclopedic, nuanced and witty history of psychology's ethical and scientific missteps in the service of racism. Erudite, refreshing, and so far as it illuminates a shameful history of racial slander and exclusion, infuriating. A delightful read

Haiti used to supply rice to the entire Caribbean and parts of South America. Their ability to farm rice was deliberately destroyed by the Clinton Foundation under the guise they were building resorts and apartments, among other things. The disruption of the soil caused mud.

RIP to Philando Castile. who did all that.
This is relevant again, in light of the Tyreek Hill situation with police. De-escalation is crucial. Not saying that bad things can’t still happen, but we want to minimize the chances as much as possible. If we’re scared of the police, the last thing I’m doing is being rude.
