fair enough

I consider it a representative sample when it's the leaders of the organization. You didn't have MLK and all his buddies calling for white peoples' heads, did you?
I never "pulled up" any kind of narrative - I just pointed out your bullstuff understanding of statistics.
Here's a quote from the conclusion of that paper:
Maybe the stark racial disparity in all uses of force but lethal are the reason for tension between the police and minorities? I don't have time to hyperbrown townyze this paper so I'm not going to treat it as gospel, but it presents a more nuanced reality than the one you're proposing.
You're changing your argument and then pretending it was always that way. I answered your claim that blacks were 2.5 times more likely to get shot than white people, which the paper disproves. In that regard, police use of non-lethal force in regards to different races is irrelevant.
Tension between minorities and police results from the statistics that I listed. You can't deny that if you were a cop and you were in a situation where you were confronting an Asian, whose race was responsible for 62% of all homicides (hypothetical scenario), that you would treat him differently than a black man, who were responsible for 10%. Interactions can go south really loving fast. One black leader took part in exercises simulating this and was genuinely surprised at what he did in each scenario.
As for your ideas about rap/absent fathers I'd love to see actual sociological research instead of your stuffty backseat speculation
The absence of fathers leading to crime is a well-known fact. Here's a video that basically summarizes it, with a little more context on how the African-American family got to be so divided. A majority of black leaders acknowledge that it's a significant problem, sometimes even more than "racism".

« on: May 30, 2017, 04:53:12 PM »This statistic is about the actual numbers of people that are shot - this shouldn't be a surprise because white people are 63% of the US population and black people are only 12%.

Please take your bullstuff narrative somewhere else.
If we're talking bullstuff narratives, the one you just pulled up is a fresh, hot, steaming pile of donkey turds.

Quote from: Roland G. Fryer, Jr.
This paper explores racial differences in police use of force. On non-lethal uses of force, blacks and Hispanics are more than fifty percent more likely to experience some form of force in interactions with police. Adding controls that account for important context and civilian behavior reduces, but cannot fully explain, these disparities. On the most extreme use of force – officer-involved shootings – we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account. We argue that the patterns in the data are consistent with a model in which police officers are utility maximizers, a fraction of which have a preference for discrimination, who incur relatively high expected costs of officer-involved shootings.
Black people commit over 50% of all homicides. White people commit 45% of them. That means that relatively, black people kill people about 7-10 times the rate that white people do. When black people kill, such as whites do, victims tend to be overwhelmingly members of the perpetrator's race. 93% of black-perpetrated homicides are against other blacks, and in 2015, about 6,000 blacks were killed by other blacks, as opposed to 258 killed by police, and that's not even to consider the justification for each shooting by police. These statistics have even been consistent for decades.
Hostilities towards police can basically be explained by the breakdown of the African-American family and the increased aggressiveness towards the police brought on by rappers constantly yelling "forget the police" and other variations. If you don't have a father in the house, you are waaay more likely to become a criminal. This is proven fact. Even Obama commented on it. Considering the hellhole that the ghetto is and how the left just pulled the cops out of those neighborhoods (not literally of course), no stuff you're going to get tenser relations with cops.

« on: May 30, 2017, 03:14:56 PM »ALM is not tribal imo but looking at it from an outside perspective it looks to be minimizing the efforts made by groups like BLM.
therefore it is indirectly tribal
also, what are BLM's efforts, anyway? all I see them doing is making it easier to vilify cops and driving them away from their neighborhoods, which in turn raises the amount of crime that happens, which escalates the even bigger issue of lethal black-on-black crime
The point of groups like BLM is to emphasize the injustice towards a minority group, lumping them all together leaves them feeling further marginalized. BLM itself is not tribal since it's about equality and asking for equal stance, not about a race being better or worse than another.
bullstuff
if they were really looking for equality then they'd be actively asking the cops to kill them, because white people actually get gunned down by police more than black people do
Your statement proves itself wrong, feminism isn't about getting MORE rights than men, it's about getting more rights to have the same amount of rights as men.
https://youtu.be/w3OoIAXPta0
It's easy to think that we are all born equal but in most cultures men are favoured over women.
women are the sole propagators of life for our species
they essentially get to choose who lives and who dies
we are all equal under the law, but in order to be truly equal (under your definition) would require sacrifices from both sides which would make everyone miserable and unhappy
The bias towards men creates disproportionate ratios of men-to-women in colleges, universities, businesses, etc.
if you mean the disproportionate ratios in favor of female graduates at college, then yes
or the disproportionate ratios in favor of women graduating high school
take your pick
The important thing to remember is that it isn't just about asking men to treat women equally, there are plenty of women who believe women should be dedicated family makers and house wives, they hinder younger women's development just as much if not more than men do since they are often the authority figures in young women's lives.
did you ever consider that maybe they should be family makers and housewives because they legitimately enjoy it?
it's partially subjective but that may be because they don't have to "work" and they get to spend time with their little creations (geez that sounded weird)
Other parts of the problem include the fact that men prefer working with other men so in an already male-dominated work environment they are more likely to hire other men to maintain the comfort level, same goes for promotions and bonuses hence the wage gap.
men have been proven to be infinitely more of risk-takers than women
that's why they make up the majority of CEOs and the majority of the homeless
also the wage gap is the biggest hoax ever concocted by the feminist movement and I feel sorry for you knowing that you probably believe it exists
Then there's other things too like marketing, games tend to have a male protagonist because most of the game creators are male, game consoles are targeted towards males, so the game is created to create a connection with a male player. The problem isn't with any individual part of the process it's a problem of an endless cycle that perpetuates a gender bias.
then the feminists try to write "strong female characters" and they fail astoundingly because gender is not the most important part of a story and if you believe it is then I have no idea how you enjoy stories but I don't want to find out
i thought its because "black lives matter" has an implicit "too" at the end, whereas "all lives matter" is just a smartarse response that downplays the point of "black lives matter"
nobody knows the trouble I've seen
-snip-
the fact that people are still using this comparison to delegitimize #AllLivesMatter crushes my faith in the human race
you don't say "all houses matter, so let's douse every house equally"
you say "HOLY stuff THAT HOUSE IS ON FIRE, DOUSE IT IN WATER BECAUSE A L L H O U S E S M A T T E R"

because lefties like to decry people for being terrible with words and then they show how terrible with words they are
it's the big loving hypocrisy of the modern progressive movement
feminism shouldn't be a thing, this "equality of the lovees" stuff gets thrown out the window once you consider the semantics of the word "feminism" and how the word specifically leans in favor of women over men
same thing with Black Lives Matter, and that disregards both the damage both movements have done to society and the things they have done to completely and utterly radicalize the entire left, including the Democratic party
