California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond talked to George Skelton about his interactions with police.
Since George Floyd died, black people are getting messages and money from white people they barely know. Here are the dos and don’ts of being a white ally.
“It doesn’t matter that I’m a legislator or a state official who’s wearing a black suit. It doesn’t matter my title. I’m seen as a black man. And when I’m pulled over, I need to put my hands on the dashboard. I feel very vulnerable.If a high state official harbors that fear, try to imagine how a young black man driving an old wreck must feel.. If this bias happens enough, people are going to become obsessed and angry and that’s what we’re seeing.
Pollster Mark Baldassare of the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California agrees. A PPIC statewide survey in February asked adult Californians whether they believed the police treated all racial and ethnic groups fairly.
