Yes, geologists used to look at rocks in the “field” i.e. outdoors at outcrops and dig in the soil i.e. dirt. If those outcrops are at a roadside or are a roadcut a police officer might show up if you are posing a risk to drivers. But the crime of doing geology while black is just woke B.
S. There is probably more of a culture problem, American blacks don’t seem to like that whole great outdoors thing IMO. Geology is mostly outside after all.

“As the geosciences strive to be more accessible, the community must recognize that BIPOC and other marginalized geoscientists are not always safe in geoscience spaces. For example, holding objects (e.g., a rock hammer) has been viewed as “suspicious” and, continues to be, used as a reason to call the police on Black people, which can lead to the death of Black individuals, entirely because of racial profiling and an unjustified fear of Black people.”

Yes, blacks don’t become geologists because they’re afraid that if they lift a rock hammer, a cop will shoot them.

According to the 2010 Census only 1.4% African Americans in your burg. My felicitations.

With my “equity” score or experience in “equity”, I do not meet the required qualifications. I’m heartbroken. Back to breaking walnuts or Brazil nuts. 🙁
