Race After Technology: Shining Light on the New Jim Code

Even the prestigious Institute for Advanced Studies worships the cult of racism! Incredible! This is not science but medieval superstition! 

"Read an excerpt from Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code, the recent book from Ruha Benjamin, Member (2016–17) in the School of Social Science, that seeks to understand how emerging technologies can reinforce white supremacy and deepen social inequity." (source)

"Now, in the age of big data, many of us [presumably black Americans] continue to be monitored and measured, but without the audible rumble of helicopters to which we can point. This doesn’t mean we no longer feel what it’s like to be a problem. We do. This book is my attempt to shine light in the other direction, to decode this subtle but no less hostile form of systemic bias, the New Jim Code."
