How Racial Bias Impacts Policing, the Workplace, and Schools | Opinions | NowThis

‘Bias is something that we have to manage.’ — Stanford professor Jennifer Eberhardt explains how racial bias impacts policing, the workplace, and schools, but we can overcome it.

In US news and current events today, Stanford professor Jennifer Eberhardt spoke to NowThis News about implicit bias, racism, prejudice, and how it effects our daily lives. Eberhardt discussed how racial bias impacts policing in the criminal justice system, leading to police shootings and the police violence organizations like Black Lives Matter try to fight. Many believe racial bias training can help many problems within the criminal justice system. Bias in medicine and workplace harassment are also big issues related to bias and prejudice.

Everyone should always improve themselves. Everyday, all day we are a work in progress attempting to become the people we promised we would become.

When one looks at the institutional racism that is prevalent in the US and other countries it is unacceptable that these things need to be addressed. Life is ever changing, and people are very adaptable and flexible and so they need to recognise this, things have to improve.

Thank you very much for this calm presentation of your research of racial biases, Professor Eberhardt.

I have started your book: it is written kind and personal with a very high standard of science.

Your book is especially interesting to me as a European. I do not fully understand all the not so obvious American biases about colour of skin. But as Europeans we have our own diverse sets of biases against each other even though we may look the same ...

Thank you very much! Kind regards and much success with everything you research!

Know how to offend a racist saying racist things? Call them racist.
I guess people simplify or outright deny uncomfortable things but racial bias is real and it's affecting people in real ways.

I have seen first hand racial bias by well meaning kind teachers. As an outsider I has horrified and saddened. I volunteered at my child’s very ethically diverse high achieving elementary school. I hope there’s real momentum for your book and your insights.

Truly interesting topic. I was able to identify myself within her descriptions of unconscious bias situations, whereas you may not realize completely, that you are.

I wish they would’ve cut off the comment feature of this video. Too many people will never understand racial bias because they themselves are beneficiaries of it.

Very reflected, content great to watch and hear. Great explaination.

I'm guessing Jenifer has never been to the Hood lol

Honestly the bias may be caused or contributed to severely by the approach typically seen from the group. Aka sleeping in class may be propogated by completely different reasoning in theory between the two, and that can change response a ton. If I thought a kid were just tired, versus if I thought they were doing it to show they don't have to listen, then the punishments change. Sadly stereotypes are often not just a societal but a representation of typical behaviors...

U fortunately biased racism does exist in schools and the work place. If you spend more time with people of your own race than those outside your race that is biased racism.

She's just trying to sell her book because as of to date only 17 have been sold!

This is a very bias video about being bias

There will be racial bias until such time as the black community gets its act together and earns the respect of other races. Respect is earned, not given.

The left just can't leave da race card alone.... It's like their all time go It's getting freaking annoying!

As for the foot pursuit policy, bias and race had nothing to do with the implementation of the new policy. It was put in place to protect officers from possibly life threatening situations. Bias would be the last thing in an officers head if they find themself in a situation where they are alone with a fleeing suspect who can quite possibly kill them. They would react on adrenaline and instinct. A call for backup and a perimeter can greatly reduce risk for both the officer and the suspect no matter the color or even the setting.

What and Who is it you think is holding ANYONE back? Anyone who works hard and stays out of trouble can become whatever they want in the US more than any other country. This woman is a prime example. Stop whining. There are worse problem in this world.

Racial bias exists cause of channels like this. This channel itself is, a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
