The Washington Post
Opinion: Brazil's racist wave of mass incarceration
Fausto Salvadori is a reporter for the news site Ponte Jornalismo in Brazil.
A few days ago, my son-in-law told me that he was on a walk with my daughter and grandson in the center of São Paulo, the most populous city in Brazil, when a group of police officers approached them. My 2-year-old grandson didn't understand why the officers were pointing a gun at his father. I am 40 years older than him, and I don't understand it either, much less accept it, although I know that situations like this are frequent in Brazil. Unlike my son-in-law, I don't usually go through this. But I'm White. He's Black.
In a country that for so long has lied to itself by asserting that it is a "racial democracy", I can say that the police have rarely approached me on the street, but my son-in-law says that at one point, he was accosted 20 times in a single year. This situation represents a real lethal threat for Black people: They constitute 56 percent of Brazilians but account for 79 percent of those killed by the police. There's also the fear of being detained; 67 percent of the prison population is Black.
The Anti-Drug Act, approved in 2006, accelerated a mass incarceration process that mainly affects Black and poor people and that the Brazilian government had been promoting since the 1990s. Following this law, the number of people incarcerated for drug crimes increased by 156 percent, according to research by Una guerra adictiva. Now, 1 in 3 prisoners is in jail because of this law. In the case of women, that percentage is over 60. This kind of incarceration – carried out in the name of the War on Drugs – is part of the reason Brazil is the country with the third-largest prison population globally. With about 750,000 inmates, it's behind only the United States and China.

Solving ‘The Social Dilemma’ With Emotional Intelligence ‘The Social Dilemma’ calls for regulation of social media, but here’s how we can regulate ourselves.
Social media isn’t pure evil, and it isn’t the only technology that is potentially problematic. In a world in which powerful companies are competing to sell our attention to the highest bidder, this is a call for us to pay more attention to ourselves. It’s a call to practice understanding how we feel, what we actually want, and how to tap into our power to take action. The Netflix documentary, “The Social Dilemma”, tells the story of how the technologists behind social media are intentionally changing our behavior to turn us into “easy prey for advertisers and propagandists,” as Devika Girish summarizes in The New York Times review of the film. “The Social Dilemma” is accused by some of telling this story in an overdramatic way, but it nevertheless contains valuable insight into our relationship with social media. The content and features put in front of us by services like Instagram are not random. Social media is designed to change our behavior and our emotions – often, in ways that we did not explicitly consent to and which may not align with our goals and values. We live in a society that conditions us to distract ourselves from our emotions so much that it hurts our ability to know ourselves, know what matters to us, and to live the lives we want. To compensate for our lack of self-awareness, we sometimes take on the emotions and values other people, or algorithms, tell us to have. We follow leaders that don’t deserve us because they tell us how to feel and why, and they permit us to express ourselves in certain ways. We let algorithms tell us what we want because it’s easier than asking ourselves what we need. This works well for social media companies like Facebook and Instagram because they sell the ability for a third-party to change our behavior. This third-party’s intention may be to sell us a product (you know, the one that keeps coming up in your feed), win our political allegiance, or convince us that the world is flat. The problem is, we don’t know the goals of these third-party organizations and we didn’t consent to be influenced by them. They may motivate us to do something that we would not independently choose. Gradually, more and more of how we feel, what we think, and what we do may not be motivated by our own values and goals. Our emotions, thoughts, and actions could instead be influenced by the highest bidder for our attention, making it even more challenging to understand ourselves and making us even more vulnerable to influence from outside. Regularly checking in with yourself, at least as much as you check your Instagram feed, can help you understand how your relationship with social media needs to change, and it can give you the willpower to take action.
