For a black person to say, “Black is Beautiful,” a white person first said, “Black is Not Beautiful.”

Black drivers in California are 2.5x more likely to be stopped by police than white people, says a study on racial profiling — and 3x more likely to have a gun pointed at them.

Black people were overrepresented in police stops by:

Black people need another phone number to call other than 911 during emergencies.
