The number 1 sign of any mental illness is attributing motive to people

who dont have them

Does that sound right?

thats what you are doing

without evidence you are attributing motive

here's what i'm saying

you actually, non-sarcastically have a mental illness

There's no motive to shooting a criminal

and are incapable of looking at information objectivly

Other than the fact that they're a criminal

listen

(we have)

black people commit more crime proportionally. (why? I claim it's because of poverty, among other factors). cops then start to believe black people are more likely to be criminals. in some sense, this is "rational", ok. but then innocent black people are more likely to be treated with force/shot

@casualgardener okay

so

Then if its because of poverty, why is it that in the Minnesota trans-racial adoption study it was proven that african americans under perform regardless of the family that they were adopted into, controlling for economic levels?

Theft is caused by the lack of money, obviously, but who says they're always being treated with force?

Do what the cops say.

okay, truthfully i believe there are some serious additional factors at play, but poverty is the easiest one to argue from

why are they in poverty

?

Poor communities

And you understand that the black community is not poor

right

if you were to take all blacks in america and make them their own country

they would be the 18th richest population in the world

yes, being in america makes one naturally more wealthy than many other places

but that doesn't mean one isn't poor

yes it does

25% of the black population is below the poverty line

Relative poverty line

The REAL poverty line is less than $2 a day.

it's essential to situate poverty within cost of living in location

the idea of living on 3$ a day in america is really absurd

Obviously not in the neighborhoods in poverty, as you put in

okay

so

why do these communities STAY in poverty?

Unemployment is higher in blacks

Name one ghetto that lasted for more than 50 years

And that's because they can't get a job either because tgey dropped out or commit a serious crime

or because they were raised by a single mother

or they chose not to finish high school

That too

the unemployment rate of African Americans increased substantially faster than that of whites

WHY

WHY THOUGH

WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE DISADVANTAGED JUST GIVE US THE REASONW HY

Its almost like they aren't trying

In fact

what i actually think is that it's because of racism!

That's what the fuck it is

@casualgardener Please provide any proof

literally any

that links what they experience to their economic levels

*it's racism!*

Yeah

according to you

Not an argument

Blacks cant get ahead because of those DAMN racist BLACK police officers who keep them from getting a job

do u fucking hear yourself

http://www.epi.org/publication/webfeatures_snapshots_archive_09172003/

@casualgardener This is literally exactly the same as the wage gap myth

between men and women

you dont account for anything

you just say

oh

they get hired less

The nonexistent wage gap

MUST BE RACIST

They

commiy

crimes

explain why candidates with equivalent qualifications would get hired at different rates?

@casualgardener They don't.

A felony can get your resume rejected immediately

did you see my study

Did you not know that

i knew that

@casualgardener As a side note, the bullshit statistic about how whites with a criminal record are more likely to get called back COMPLETELY IGNORES THE FACT THAT WHITES ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO COMMIT WHITE COLAR CRIMES

It does not account for violent crime

vs white collar crime

Thats because they were dumb as fuck and commit a **crime.**

so thats bullshit

And it literally says nothing about qualifications

like

here's another one

with equvalent resumes

Alright..

*50 percent gap*

@casualgardener http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/07/11/national-bureau-of-economic-research-no-racial-differences-in-officer-involved-shootings/

they are liars

straight up liars

to push minority agendas

That is ridiculous

Even though earlier in this conversation we talked about how it was proven the exact opposite was true

they are an agendas research "institute"
