I didn't mean like that
Obviously science uses Methodological Naturalism as an assumption
I mean that 'race realism' to me has always shown itself to be cherry picked science to prove the assumptions of race the people who claim the title already have
I will concede that different races are, different of course. This is not an issue I have with the position
It is definitely not cherry picked. And bias in these fields is against race realism.
Now, it may be that the there are limitations in current analysis. But as it stands, there are many studies which you can read yourself that show that race is a factor in a lot of things.
Actually you can do the research yourself. I did one myself. Do you want to see the results?
And many that show the opposite
I think it's more reasonable to, even from a race realist perspective, to conclude not that any given race is the problem, but that we should seek to improve the conditions for all people to eliminate this issue
I do know many race realists will agree on Decolonization and black national self determination if they don't use it as a guise for hate
Hate is the wrong word, more like fear
You can link those studies. They are very problematic. .
However, coming to the main point. It is a question of distribution of resources. You cannot improve condition of everyone. It is impossible. From where would you get the money?
Well
I don't mean equality
I mean removing the base systems that create these barriers to begin with
So, give me a policy proposal you would want to enact?
There is a picture where boys are trying to look over a fence to watch a baseball game, "equality" is giving each one box to stand on, and another suggestion is moving the most boxes to the shortest. However a third option exists, remove the fence. Which ultimately I think communism at it's core is removing the fence. Now how we would use policy to accomplish this would vary from circumstance to circumstance, but for one entitlement to your labour and contorl over your work space is a good way to combat these issues, and black naitonal self determination is another
you're talking about equity
I have seen the picture. The point is that these options that Communism proposes are very harmful for productivity. And I am not sure about Black National Self Determination. Whites don't have that. The only thing that it will do is a collectivise blacks.
@Draco you blacc ?
No.
Well it gives black people an autonomous region
You think white people don't have national self determination?
communism is very fruitful
***just elimante 1 of them***
for productivity
problem soved
They don't have an autonomous region for themselves.
Sure they do
Which?
Most western countries have white national self determination
They're not ethno-states, but they do have national self determination
ppffft
PFFFFT
replacing whites with cheap arab labour isn't self determination
So, what is National Self Determination? I don't follow. What would a White man in Texas feel different if he visits that black autonomous region?
What do you mean feel different?
I want to know what National Self Determination means in terms of policies
That that ethnic group would be given a autonomous regions, for example we could make the black belt a autonomous region for black people
I am asking just that. What autonomous region means? Does it mean that only black people can be in government?
Split the U.S into a white only region, a black only region, and a mixed region, let's see what happens
