How is that regressing? When it was segregated there were more black teachers in black schools. It all starts with education. We have accumulated enough to run our own communities. Have you ever heard of Black Wall Street? Maybe you should look that up and tell me if it was FLOURISHING. Then tell me what happened to it.
About teachers and whether their opinions are now entitled to more,or any, credibility simply because they are teachers or professors. Heard an interview with with a former alleged antifa member. He stated that the leaders of the movement are ultra liberal college professors who hate this country. Have no idea if he was lying, but I have little trust in this country's educators to present an objective non-biased view to their students and would not be at all surprised if he were 100% correct. Just sayin.In a break between bedtime and date night.
No prob Ran, I’ll totally post here
Yes, many studies have show black people generally get far harsher punishments for breaking the law.
Fourteen, it isn’t just about stats of unarmed black people being killed by cops. The anger isn’t actually, at the heart of things, all about black people being killed by cops, even though those have been huge triggers... it is about decades of what African Americans see as unfair policing, of tensions between cops and the black communities they police, about tens of thousands of instances where police unfairly pull over black people, harass them, beat them, arrest them, and often without repercussions. It’s been going on for decades and decades, more obviously for a hundred years of segregation, but it still happens all the time. I don’t know a single black person who doesn’t get nervous every time a cop car is behind them, I don’t know a black mother who hasn’t had “the talk” with her black son, I don’t know a black person who doesn’t, deep down in side, feel the tiny bit anxious about ever having to call the cops if they need them.
It is a decades old issue, and one which has been passed down from generation of cop to generation of cop, and from generation of African American to generation of African American. We are doing better, but man, there is a long way to go, and honestly I doubt we will ever really end it... but we can make it better for sure.

That’s regressing in your eyes not mines hahaha. You said “facts” that was irrelevant to anything I said. I just wanted to make sure you understood why black on black crime happens at a higher rate. White Wall Street is in New York.
And this conversation was such a nice back and forth for a while!
Statistically, but not proportionally....way more white than black in america...a black male has a 1 in 1000 chance and a white male has a 39 in 100,000 chance of being murdered by police
And you never hear white on white crime...more white people kill other white people and more black people kill more black due primarily to proximity and housing
It should be easy to tell, on the face of the quote, that he is lying. Using words like "ultra liberal"and "hate America" are such broad bromides that they are easily rejected.
I don’t think we’re on the same page on this specific part. There are many prominent people that I truly believe profit from race issues, or injustice. Come on Dude. The actual racists and discrimination parts are far worse, but guys like Al Sharpton aren’t putting out the fires. Guys like him profit off these moments. That’s my beef. He could do some good, but I don’t think he wants it to be better.
I studied STEM but in my liberal arts undergrad I was instructed to fight "the social construct of race". Now we seek, celebrate and reward based on the color of ones skin.
there is a push to support black-owned businesses in the wake of everything going on. This suspension stops at the end of 2020.
What is your definition of "equality", just for discussion purposes? That will tell me a lot about you.
You kind of miss the point of my post or dodge it. I do not question the ability of teachers to understand what is going on around them. I do question whether or not they are able, simply by virtue of a degree in education (from Duke or anywhere else), to pontificate about subjects about which they are not experts. The point of my earlier post, however, is that there are educators out there who intentionally abuse the trust which society places in them by presenting facts to their students in a biased and inaccurate manner for the purpose of indoctrinating them to the teacher's political ideologies, rather than laying things out objectively in order to allow the students to reach informed decisions and then respecting those decisions. Dude, from your posts, I do not sense that you are one of those ideologues(sp?).Okay, I really thought I should be nice here, but jesus, the number of terrible posts just skyrocketed here
This is a truly painful post.
Your take is... I don't even get it. You, a white doctor who drives a nice red Mercedes, have just as much a reason to get nervous when a cop pulls up behind you, so black people shouldn't be so sensitive or something...
And these particular famous black advocates, who are supported by basically the entire African American community, who donate time and money to black causes... they are full of shit and just... manipulating those dumb black folks, who now unfairly think the world is against them... and that's why black people are so ****ed up, it's because of themselves.
You are a self-absorbed buffoon. You always struck me as such, but it's pretty much confirmed.
Thanks for having the knack of ruining every serious thread you show up to.
It has NEVER just been about police killing unarmed black people. This is a moronic take that some conservative white people are latching on to because they feel they have one or two stats that can prove that all of these black people who say things are messed up are wrong and their experiences... well, they probably deserved whatever happened to them.
The issues that the African American community has dealt with in terms of their relationship with the police, in the injustices that started back when cops were returning runaways during for the Fugitive Slave Act and went up through segregation, when cops were beating protestors and siccing attack dogs on them and taking part in lynch mobs and then protecting the attackers, and then up through the uneven, oft-aggressive policing of our cities... THIS has been the issue. These murders that we've been seeing over the last few years on social media are the straws that break the collective backs, but come on now.
I swear to God, people are just ignorant, and don't want to listen. Go out there, read what African Americans are writing, listen to what they are saying. Just open your ears.
When you spend your life learning about a topic, and then even going so far as to teach about it, you will be *much* more well informed about said topic, and will have spent *much* more time analyzing said topic, and will have a *much* better historical understanding of said topic, than the average person who is talking as a "casual".
There is this awkward thing, where people think that experiences and information and education only matter in certain "practical skills"... like, to be a good electrician, you need to have experience and understand electricity... and that in much more broad areas, where things like understanding historical context and complex systems are SO important... eh, we can all just say our thoughts and those thoughts are all equally important and informed and valuable.
They aren't.
Just like a combat instructor will know more about combat than a regular person who sometimes goes shooting on the weekends...
... or a doctor will know more about medicine than a regular person who sometimes puts on a bandaid...
... a teacher will generally know more about their particular area of expertise than someone who thinks they know something about the topic, but really never deals with it at all.
(And that's not even getting into a teacher who literally studied the subject that they teach, which is not always the case.)
I'm curious as to how you know she was disqualified due to her skin color...other than her simply applying for minority scholarships. I'm assuming the universities aren't just like...yeah, sorry....you're white, so DENIED...if it was something she was truly qualified for
I couldn’t disagree with this take more. Trump, with his flaws, and who’s been in office for over 3 years is responsible, and blamed for the things going on, when all these politicians, Democrat and Republican, have been in office for decades. Let that sink in.
