I would say they just commit more crimes but whatever.
if race has a causal effect on a person's proclivity to commit crimes rather than a coincidental correlation caused by and reinforced by material circumstances, then people are not free- there is some inherent part of a person which is subject to factors (their race) outside of their control
yeah sadly that's just reality
ok but u said earlier you thought people were free
not that people can't make different choices but that there are influences on them and their way of thinking
their material circumstances are what are those influence tho
not some arbitrary shit about their color or ancestry
no
ya
; )
when poor white commit LESS crime on par with RICH blacks obviously material circumstance is not solely to blame.
well racism is a part of a persons material experience
culture is a part of a persons material experience
There's a reason Bulgaria is not as violent as Sierra Leone ya know
there's many reasons.
not just race
to say its caused by race is to oversimplify
you're making things easy
if i was to analyze crime rates in bulgaria and sierra leone i could write a thesis
Rascism wouldn't be a problem if different races weren't regularly forced to interact
but they are
they aren't forced to
self-segregation is the biggest form of racism
why am i even discussing this shit lmao
im supposed to be memeing
"What is integration and diversity?"
self-segregation is self-determination
MOST people would rather be with people who are like them racially than vice versa.
its internalized essentializing (racism)
Its human nature
hahahaha
Just say that.
read sartre
What's his input then?
existentialism. all of it
literally just understand existentialism and you will realize what im trying to say
How does what he wrote disprove what I'm saying here?
well being and nothingness is an 800 page book which draws from a rich philosophic tradition
and im a fucking undergrad
i cant just summarize it for u
