KULKARNI We have significant ░░░░░░░░ of anti blackness in ░░░░░░░░ community and actually Toni ░░░░░░░░ spoke about this years ░░░░░░░░ in the 1990s in ░░░░░░░░ piece she wrote on ░░░░░░░░ which is that sadly ░░░░░░░░ come to the United ░░░░░░░░ often and understand right ░░░░░░░░ the racial hierarchy that ░░░░░░░░ have in our nation ░░░░░░░░ so they know that ░░░░░░░░ they want upward mobility ░░░░░░░░ they want economic security ░░░░░░░░ need to align themselves ░░░░░░░░ whites essentially And so ░░░░░░░░ see a lot of ░░░░░░░░ sort of white adjacency ░░░░░░░░ our community or efforts ░░░░░░░░ strive toward white adjacency ░░░░░░░░ so what happens then ░░░░░░░░ there is building on ░░░░░░░░ happens in mainstream media ░░░░░░░░ social media this effort ░░░░░░░░ target African American African ░░░░░░░░ as perpetrators And I ░░░░░░░░ tell you that while ░░░░░░░░ don t collect ethnic ░░░░░░░░ data on perpetrators from ░░░░░░░░ the 6 600 plus ░░░░░░░░ we know that it ░░░░░░░░ a very small minority ░░░░░░░░ are African American And ░░░░░░░░ fact when we look ░░░░░░░░ these broader types of ░░░░░░░░ the ones that involve ░░░░░░░░ rights violations of course ░░░░░░░░ know that those are ░░░░░░░░ actors heads of businesses ░░░░░░░░ and that these are ░░░░░░░░ folks who often because ░░░░░░░░ positions of power that ░░░░░░░░ are in are actually ░░░░░░░░ So I know our ░░░░░░░░ is also verified by ░░░░░░░░ done by University of ░░░░░░░░ and others to show ░░░░░░░░ in fact this is ░░░░░░░░ something that is most ░░░░░░░░ from African American perpetrators ░░░░░░░░ quite the opposite.”
