fuck hefner amirite

too soon?

did you know the guy?

lol if america has too much feminism

why are women still getting raped all the fucking time

you might say

please explain the rape then

really, you think illegals are the reason for rape

57% of rapes are by white men

in the united states

that's not what i'm saying

you asshat

i'm just saying blaming immigration for rape is ridiculous

pseudonymous, let me explain why i believe there is more to blame than just the rapist

of course, the rapist is the primary concern, without any doubt

i don't dispute that

but what makes a rapist believe rape is something that's feasible?

something they can get away with

rape is something that's been historically dismissed

the purpose of women was simply as a womb for men's sperm?

there are studies that show that, in some african tribes for example, this notion that men are historically/evolutionarily just "the hunters" or whatnot

is fallacious

and that women are the caretakers

my point is that the idea that women are simply repositories for sperm, based on some evolutionary argument, is totally unsound

women's role in society is determined by a societal culture

pseudonymous, surely society has some influence on one's psychology, right?

foxpod, it's hard to argue against a religious argument

hate speech?

lol foxpod as you well know, it's different to be called a faggot by a straight person

faggot is a word that historically has gay blood on it

i'm over it, i'm just stating that it's a hateful word

i'm sure you do

i don't care to have this argument

because yall are set in your ways

its not a discussion

i'm not offended

i'm stating that it's a hateful word

it's a political orientation

not an emotional one

whatever, i already said i don't fucking care

i do care but not enough to argue it with people who aren't at all interested in talking about it

were you...

triggered?

by my suggestion that faggot is a hateful word?

lol do you guys want to talk about anything real or is this going to just be a shitposting session

at what point am i allowed to communicate in serious chat

lol

did yall know the CIA killed MLK jr

substantial cortical differences, if i remember correctly

lol racism is real

reading the backlog and just noting all this racebaiting shit

black people have less money, represent proportionally less of top corporate or political positions, are disproportionately represented in the prison population, are more likely to have mental health issues or drug addictions, etc etc

yeah, because blacks are segregated and poor

thats how that shit goes

yes, black cops are racist

segregation doesn't exist? why was donald trump sued for discriminatory housing practices?

there are countless accounts of black people told they can't rent a place for bullshit reasons

discriminatory housign still exists, it's just harder to point to now

because people are required by law to make up different reasons

it happens less, sure

but it still happens

i didn't say there are cultural reasons - i think poverty, exclusion, and police targetting are the reasons primarily

25% of black people in the United States are below the poverty line, compared with 11% of Americans overall. ~50% of black children are below the poverty line.

We analyzed 990 police fatal shootings using data compiled by The Washington Post in 2015. After first providing a basic descriptive analysis of these shootings, we then examined the data for evidence of implicit bias by using multivariate regression models that predict two indicators of threat perception failure: (1) whether the civilian was not attacking the officer(s) or other civilians just before being fatally shot and (2) whether the civilian was unarmed when fatally shot. The results indicated civilians from “other” minority groups were significantly more likely than Whites to have not been attacking the officer(s) or other civilians and that Black civilians were more than twice as likely as White civilians to have been unarmed.

black people come from slavery, they historically have had no access to wealth or jobs from the beginning of their american history

black people have less access to a good education

reidoon there are multiple studies that show the same result

80% of teachers in the united states are white, and black students are 38% less likely to drop out when they have black teachers

black teachers are 7%

no i think whites and blacks could coexist

that's an 100% difference lol

yes, implicit and explicit racism

ok

let me tell you about the history of black education

before schools were desegregated

there were all black schools right

and they had all black teachers

its fine

no

im not telling you

fuck off

listen

i dont really care

ok

ill hear you out

no reidoon, im pointing to plenty of empirical sources

why does it matter what my race is

i already told you im not black

here's another study

teuthex, i have no doubt in the ability of black people to make their own choices

the issue is, things like police targetting, exclusionary practices, and historical poverty, reduce those choices

and reduce the number of setbacks that a black person can endure

lol, a black person is hardly responsible for being unarmed and shot down

teuthex, i'm not acting like everything is the environments fault

take the black panthers, for example

they were a community led organization to educate black people and police their own community

or martin luther king jr, for example

was assasinated by the CIA
