He also asserted the looting was not as bad as some television and newspaper reports have indicated. The looting, he suggested, was "part of the price" for what's called liberation. "Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things," He said...

I'm sure he didn't mean to, I hope you find it in your heart to forgive him. As for your person, I doubt his poor reasoning skills had no effect on the unfortunate situation he is in. Shit happens, hopefully he'll put in more effort and land on his feet :agree:

It's conditioned fear but it goes hand in hand with bias; basically you have witnessed or heard about incidents when a black person has shoplifted. The next black person you see may or may not shoplift, but your judgment is biased towards thinking he/she would steal something. The key here is...

Similar thing happens at a much more micro level as well. I was an RA on a large scale research about discrimination, where people were asked to mention an incident they were being discriminated against because of their race, religion, gender, etc. The only demographic that had one common...

It's probably as wrong factually but still a little bit better from other perspectives :P At least a cop can resign and be no longer a bastard, unless we take the word literally :grin:

I think Covid intensified and prolonged what was going to happen anyway. The video was at least to me the most appalling of all similar things that had happened and been recorded before, which is why it made its way even to the people outside the US who'd never heard of other cases involving...

Guess it makes more sense in your hypothetical to frame the one guy who did it rather than the guy who is dead. Maybe he should wonder what if this one guy had moved his knee before that other guy died so his assets hadn't become worthless overnight. Maybe he should wonder why someone (and not a...

I agree with most of what he/she wrote except pretty much everything about George Floyd. "Home invaders like George Floyd". If sanitizing Floyd's past is bad, bringing his past into any argument that's even remotely justifying his death or finding how he was killed predictable is much worse and...

"All alone, in front of the City Hall — it's more like a statement," she said. "Even if it was a suicide, that in itself is kind of a statement." :think:

Strange how when there is a conversation about a group of people whose lived experience has been affected by stereotypes that contributed to their life outcomes, the person who has no idea what it means to be in their shoes offers to share their own experiences that "if I could, then they should...

I don't think those results hold today either. The media is different and in reporting of the events in the aftermath of this particular incident, I don't think CNN or FOX would have shown less or more sympathy towards the protesters if they were more or less violent.

Don't know about that but it's great that black kids and girls also get to have superheroes and fictional characters they can identify with. Unless of course Megyn Kelly:

My mom was saying how she and her siblings would wake up at 4 am to go to her uncle's who had a tv to watch his games :grin: Btw, this guy lost his job (that's analyzing what affects election results) for tweeting someone else's work about how unsympathetic coverage of violent protests...

:heart:

That's not his job's salary.

Dinesh is scum, just saying :D

His email is perfect.

That's fair though, and the spike will happen in the east too. Hopefully the current events will lead to a higher voter turnout where it matters. The election is Dems' to lose imo.
