Racism...Forever?

I think his point was that the Chinese influx was to benefit corporations without needing the involvement of any war?

"I&I's"?

Irish and Italians? Jamaicans?

 

Do I have to type AND or was the slash not clear enough?

All in all, those are really just the high points. We had serious in-migrations from nearly every foreign conflict we've been dumb enough to entangle ourselves in, or caused directly from our desire to be Global Cop / Sugar Daddy Enforcers

Yes.

 

Just making sure I could still diagram a sentence.

 

Interview with author who wrote book on the role of McDs in the black community

When Marcia Chatelain tells people about her new book, Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America, she sometimes describes it like this: “I trace how McDonald’s became black.”

She gets a lot of bewildered responses. “People are like, ‘What do you mean? Everyone eats McDonald’s,’ ” said Chatelain, a Georgetown University history professor and my co-host on the Slate podcast The Waves. “And yes, everyone eats McDonald’s. But everyone doesn’t experience McDonald’s the same way.”

This is why I always preferred McDowell's over McDonald's: Local black ownership, McDonald's has the golden arches, they have the golden arcs. McDonald's has the Big Mac, McDowell's has the Big Mick. They both have two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions, but McDonald's buns have sesame seeds. McDowell's buns have no seeds.

 

An article on how the south has a better living environment for black women than other parts of the country, especially the Midwest.

DC also ranks very high.

Absolutely sickening...

That first article was really poor so I didn't read the rest of them. He starts off suggesting that a black woman killed herself because Pittsburgh is bad for black women. I supposed he doesn’t know that men commit suicide at a far greater rate than women and whites at a far greater rate than blacks. He has crap graphs with no data. He shows data on black female arrests compared to whites as if they are being arrested for no reason and the whites are getting away with crimes. The whole article and sources are a flaming turd, I cannot believe this man is employed. I don’t know, maybe the editor was at a free the nipple march or something.

You can’t compare black women to other groups without consideration of many highly significant factors. For example, 3/4 of black children are born out of wedlock. Being a parent is hard, being a single parent is even harder. A good start would be to stop having babies before you have financial stability and a stable marriage.

 

So you're saying you're in favor of greatly strengthening sex education and low cost birth control programs, particularly among at-risk populations?

 

I think birth control should be free and given out like candy.

 

You don't think he's calling for married black women to have more kids? That would definitely lower the percentage.

 

Who gives out free candy, except on Halloween?

 

Most restaurants have a mint bowl to grab when leaving.

That count?

 

Banks so you feel all warm and fuzzy inside while they are raping us.

 

This dude.

 

Another example of racial bias in our justice system.

"They?"

 

Bankers... in a figurative and monetary sense. That said...

I do not know where to put this but redlining is also linked to neighborhoods with fewer trees, canopies, and parks, leading to ‘heat islands’ in cities

https://www.theguardian.com/society...dly-heatwaves-exposure-study?CMP=share_btn_tw

As heatwaves become more intense due to climate change, it will affect lower-income and minority neighborhoods more disproportionately.

 

My bank gives away pineapple Dum-Dums-they're not easy to find for free. But they sell chocolate candy for $1.50.

 

Mine gives out doughnut holes on Saturdays. You don't have to bank there. Just walk in and take some. Now, how can those be bad people?

 

I hear tell they rape folks, tho...

 

They don't just keep money in those vaults anymore....

 

Article is behind a pay wall... Does anyone here actually have a paid subscription to the economist? Now the touchy reaction to disparaging bankers makes sense.

I feel like I am missing something here... The data indicates that the white crack slingers were less likely to carry over 280g once the law changed. Prior to the change, it appears they may have classified crack possession over 50g as 50g in many instances. This applies to blacks and whites alike... maybe administrative laziness or “box checking”. Also, it seems like the data gathered for white possession may be a smaller sample size. The reason I suspect this is because there are six times where a 10 gram incremental data point does not even register on the white chart. Meanwhile the black chart has every data point represented on both charts, pre and post 280g. Side note, they are comparing charts of a 11 year span to a 5 year span.

Maybe I am misreading, but is the 2.5% difference in convictions between whites and blacks at the 280g mark the supposed proof of racist policing? Even if I am wrong in guessing that there is less data for white offenders, it seems like a ridiculous gripe. It would basically be saying that since 2-3 out of every 100 crack dealers was discriminated against. It’s been a very long day, so I’m probably overlooking something or botching numbers.
