Tennessee Police Shoot Black Man Dead On Facebook Live A Crockett County sheriffs killed an unarmed Black man yesterday after they say he attempted to hit officers with his SUV “at least twice” according to NBCNews . 36-year-old Rodney James Hess had parked his vehicle on the side of the road and was said to be “acting erratically” while streaming the encounter on Facebook Live. When officers arrived to the scene, Hess did not exit his vehicle, but instead asked that the “higher commands come out” to speak to him. At that point, without any apparent provocation, shots were fired through Hess’ windshield and the following video depicts those final tense moments of his life. We should warn all of you that while this video is not graphic, it IS very disturbing. After being shot and crashing his truck, Rodney was airlifted to a hospital where he died. His fiancee, Johnisha Provost, told CommercialAppeal this about Rodney’s mental health: Provost said Hess suffered from bipolar disorder and she could tell from looking at the videos that he was disoriented and lost. “He couldn’t get his mind together. That’s why he asked for a higher command,” she said. “I always told him, ‘Babe, if you are ever in a situation where you need help, ask the person in charge for the higher command to help you,’ and that’s what he kept saying.” The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says this about the disconcerting clip: “Though we are aware such a video exists, we cannot confirm its authenticity. As with anything that might potentially be evidence, we will examine it to determine if it has probative benefit,” Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Public Information Officer Josh DeVine said. SMH. By all accounts of this story, there has been no gun or weapon of any kind recovered from the scene. R.I.P. Rodney Hess #BlackLivesMatter Image via Facebook
Skin Tone Memory Bias Study: Educated Black Men Perceived Whiter Skin tone memory bias study shows an educated black man is thought to be lighter and perceived as “whiter”… According to International Business Times: Evidence of underlying cultural beliefs about race and intelligence has been uncovered by researchers, who found successful black men are often remembered as “whiter” than they actually are. Published in the open access journal Sage Open, researchers found that cultural beliefs about race and intelligence are still rife, with authors saying their study has “grave implications” for current racial attitudes. Lead researcher Avi Ben-Zeev, from San Francisco State University, said: “When a black stereotypic expectancy is violated – herein, encountering an educated Black male – this culturally incompatible information is resolved by distorting this person’s skin tone to be lighter in memory and therefore to be perceived as ‘whiter’.” The authors called the phenomenon, where black men associated with being intelligent are remembered as having lighter skin, “skin tone memory bias”. They conducted a two part experiment with 160 university students. In the first, participants were subliminally exposed to one of two words – ignorant or educated. This was immediately followed by a photograph of a black man’s face. At a later stage, participants were shown seven photographs that depicted the same face – the original, three with lighter skin and three with darker skin. They were then asked to pick which picture was the one they had seen originally. Findings showed that participants primed with the word “educated” showed more memory errors in picking lighter skin-toned pictures than those who had subliminally seen with word “ignorant”. Ben-Zeev said: “Uncovering a skin tone memory bias, such that an educated Black man becomes lighter in the mind’s eye, has grave implications. We already know from past researchers about the disconcerting tendency to harbour more negative attitudes about people with darker complexions (e.g., the darker a Black male is, the more aggressive he is perceived to be). “A skin tone memory bias highlights how memory protects this ‘darker is more negative’ belief by distorting counter-stereotypic Black individuals’ skin tone to appear lighter and perhaps to be perceived as less threatening.” Interesting.
