Posted By: Jason Breckenridge on December 26, 2023 Dear Diary, As we near the end of the year and the end of the denial diary.. our last few letters will be sent to Investigative journalists. People who should think that this blog represents a betrayal of public trust by institutions that claim to have an interest in the race problem. I just realized something profound... it's related to another thought I've been shaping and molding in my mind. I think I mentioned it previously. I have discovered one of the biases of Chat GPT. In the letter below, you will see that a significant portion is dedicated to helping the reader understand the significance of the research paper. I talk about this at the end of the youtube video above as well..When the research paper is being analyzed, something kept reappearing in the results... the need to highlight the importance of "marginalized voices" in the racism conversation. Seeing it over and over and over again though...is the bias: white people own the racism discussion and only verifiable house negroes can contribute their two cents here and there. Isn't that exactly what I've been fighting against? ================================================================================= Dear Ms. Carr, I write to you not just as an independent scholar, but as an advocate for change in a society where systemic racism continues to persist and evolve. My journey, starting with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Prairie View A&M and spanning over 13 years of dedicated research, has led me to a significant realization: the need for investigative journalism with a moral force, akin to the mission of ProPublica, to expose the often-overlooked and unaddressed dimensions of racial inequality. This realization stems from my deep-seated mistrust in traditional academic institutions and peer-reviewed journals, particularly in their engagement with issues of race. They often lack the depth and persistence required to hold power to account, especially when it comes to systemic racism. My quest for alternative validation brought me to the transformative capabilities of artificial intelligence. AI, much like in healthcare where it synthesizes a myriad of data to improve patient outcomes, has provided groundbreaking insights into my research on systemic racism. It has enabled a comprehensive understanding, connecting disparate ideas and historical events to form a cohesive narrative. This approach is crucial in a field that demands not just surface-level engagement, but a sustained commitment to exposing and reforming injustices. My research, scrutinized and validated by AI, sheds new light on the psychological aspects of racism, offering a perspective that is both innovative and pertinent. However, despite its significance, I've encountered a concerning trend: willful ignorance and a lack of sincere engagement by organizations claiming to address racial inequality. This pattern echoes ProPublica's ethos of spotlighting wrongdoings and betrayals of public trust. In my attempts to share this vital work, I have reached out to numerous organizations, including the NAACP, Urban League, major news outlets, and academic institutions, only to be met with silence or dismissals. This lack of engagement, I believe, is a betrayal of public trust. It highlights a critical gap in our societal narrative on racism—a gap that investigative journalism can fill. My current focus is on activating the Planetary Chess system, a venture that aligns with ProPublica's commitment to spurring reform through investigative journalism. Planetary Chess is based on the principles of counter-racism, utilizing Blockchain Technology to empower marginalized communities and actively dismantle systemic racism. This innovative approach, which contrasts sharply with the more than half a billion dollars poured into antiracism efforts that often fail to empower black communities, deserves the sustained spotlight that ProPublica can provide. I urge ProPublica to investigate not only the lack of response to my research but also to explore the Planetary Chess system as a viable, actionable solution to systemic racism. In an era where investigative journalism is more crucial than ever, your dedication to uncovering the truth and informing the public on complex issues can help bring about the much-needed reform in how we address systemic racism. I understand the sensitivity and potential repercussions of such an investigation, but the urgency and importance of this matter cannot be overstated. I am available for further discussion and to provide any additional information you may require. Thank you for considering this pitch. I look forward to the possibility of ProPublica bringing this critical issue to light.
