The data utilized in this piece is the systemic racism, police brutality, current arrests, and the white vs Black persecution and charges. The data could be collected from the current arrest records, police shootings, and charges based on race. The data is presented in dance, words, and auditory sounds. The specific data connected to this piece is focusing on the inequality among races in the United States as well as how it compares to other areas in the world. The Data could be used for students to create a chart that could be a visual for the spoken word that further solidifies the information the speaker shared.]]> 2021-06-23 22:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/SJCCook/g1w7kllw0ejwzrth/wish/1622405521 https://padlet.com/SJCCook/g1w7kllw0ejwzrth/wish/1624273430 I really don't think a question is being asked. She makes bold statements which are fact. Data represented is the over-policing of black people vs. that of whites, and the deaths of blacks that occur because of it. She refers to traffic stops, George Floyd and Eric Garner's deaths at the hands of those sworn to protect. She refers to the thought process that racism no longer exists. All of this could be measured as data. This information is public record, so it can be collected freely. We know the data,  the truth and yet still...Who is the data for, and it can be slanted to to appease guilt, lack of response, and empathy.  It can also be used to justify the unconscionable actions of those who wear a badge, reside in judges chambers, the senate, the house, and the White House.

An additional question asks When will an equitable society exist where Black People and people of color no longer have to fear for their lives. The data referenced in this video are events of violence and murder of black men at the hands of police. There is also reference to the comparison of the consequences of actions of an "unarmed Black man" vs. an "armed white man" There is reference to the way that Black culture is appropriated by white people. Data could be further collected by presenting the number of arrests and the grounds for those arrests, looking at who was arrested, where, why, and who was the police officer. The information is and has been made available to us in recent news. However, often the context is withheld. Data could also be collected on looking at current hiphop trends, researching when and who actually founded them and the context behind them. In this video the data is communicated through spoken word and through dance/interpretive dance. The data in this video is used to demonstrate the consequences of a society built on white supremacy, the death of Black men. It can be used to demonstrate further this fact. However like all data, it can also be used on the flipside, to justify the actions of the police officers, to justify policies and laws that have historically disproportionality criminalized Black men and communities of color. Policies that are connected with this video include Qualified Immunity, No-Knock Warrants, Non-limited Traffic Stops, Access to Guns. Data is used to make these policies but it is skewed often in favor of those writing the policy, in a way that displays the information so that it can be passed into law. ]]> 2021-06-28 01:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/SJCCook/g1w7kllw0ejwzrth/wish/1627509445 katelynfisher09 https://padlet.com/SJCCook/g1w7kllw0ejwzrth/wish/1628796751 The (Overarching) question that is being asked is: What it is like to be black in modern-day America? The data being used in the piece is the data of death toll, police brutality, comparison of black and white crime rates, etc. The data is used to show the injustice and indifference of the criminal justice system initially and then moves in the systematic oppression in everyday life from culture, music, and other elements that define society. In this piece, the data is displayed through spoken word, choragraphy, and the repetition of phrases. By doing so the author is trying to communicate the answer to the initial question being asked of what it's like to be black in America through the harsh reality lens. Other ways that this data has been previously shared is through more of the mathematical base model of graphs, charts, and statistics. The data that is provided backs up the points being identified in the spoken word poem and emphasize the need for critical change through lines of "walking outside without hands up" and "battle not yet won" both indicate that even with the Civil war and the Civil Rights movement there is still a call to change. Furthermore, the piece is spoken through someone in the younger population showing the direct impact that these statistics have on the young black population. One of the main political policies that come to mind is the 13th amendment and the incarceration rate that follows.  This specific policy opens doors to the unequal treatment of a variety of races, as well as compares the United States to the rest of the world on a larger scale. The statistics in the play show that the U.S. current system of policing is not one that is representative of an entire population but rather only targets minority groups.
