I guess this needs to be said. We all want to do our part and help out. It's not about our feelings, we need to consider the impact of our well intended actions. Just ask before you make a call. We can help AND let people decide for themselves.

Fyi: implicit bias training is inconclusive in actually addressing and reducing racial bias. But that notwithstanding, the NYPD and DeBlasio have not even made an effort even if it doesn't work. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25314368
