Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) defended herself against a slew of racist accusations after she urged the Detroit Police Department to only hire black individuals to work as facial recognition analysts.
“I’m going to call out every injustice I see. It’s probably what makes most people uncomfortable when I speak the truth,” Tlaib wrote in an op-ed on Friday. “My comments weren’t racist, out of order, or ‘inappropriate.’ It is inappropriate to implement a broken, flawed and racist technology that doesn’t recognize black and brown faces in a city that is over 80% black.”
