Any argument that objective ethnicities exist will most certainly run afoul of the True Scotsman fallacy as well.
It's all bullshit.

All races/ethnicities are human constructs.
You mean race is an arbitrary bullshit term you can slap on anyone you don't like. Sure.
That's definitely not "complicated" if you can "construct" your own "races."
There are no objective races, so there are no objective racists. It's just how you feel at the moment.

And discrimination on the basis of race (like say calling Mexicans rapists) is the literal definition of racism.
Mexico is not a race.
Mexican is a legal distinction of citizenship and jurisdiction and a vague assumption of a member of a homogenous culture and is not exclusive to any racial DNA.

Most of the people that fact check opinions are employed by the same people that control media outlet content.
Mockingbird fact-checkers. Why would you trust CIA propaganda and thought/opinion police?
And as for CNN? It has the best record among the cable networks, as 80 percent of of the claims we’ve rated are Half True or better.
Over 50% of CNN airtime today is devoted to the coverage of an ex-president. To state that the only "true" opinion is an anti-Trump opinion is the most modern Orwellian brainwashing example. Instead of the Orwellian 2 minutes of hate, they provide 12 hours of it.
If enough of the population can be persuaded that establishment Fact Checkers are the source of all proper thought, then Elections will be no longer necessary.
That's the end of the war of the DC Oligarchs vs the general public, and a 1984 Orwellian dystopia will be the status quo for the USA.

Very good historical summary.
Venezuela's nationalization of oil suffered from the same problems as Iran did. Especially with the replacement of experienced petroleum engineers and mechanics with political supporters and family, increasing the cost of production to the point where they were vulnerable to competitive market forces and price shocks.

Wiki is downstream of mockingbird media. Most of the articles use CNN as a source.

The moral of the story is that Police suck unless they are protecting elite oligarchs in DC. Then and ONLY then they are not systemic racist murderers.

The Halo on the statue of AB should be just as large as the halo on the statue of GF.
Trump should praise the sacrifice of AB as vehemently and sincerely as Pelosi praised the sacrifice of GF.
After all, politics is all about human sacrifice according to Pelosi. The Aztecs are in full force in 2021.

I just love this thread. A couple of pages of tangent but no answer to the central question.
DC cop lives matter. Especially if the Oligarchs depend on them as a suppressive tool.

Black Nigerian-Americans make more median income than whites.
If anything, Nigerian-Americans have a better case to make for systemic advantages due to their skin color since they automatically get lumped in with the fucked up ghetto culture of Democrat urban utopias and get a ton of unneeded benefits in the name of "equity"
I don't hate the player though. If I was a Nigerian-American, I would scam America to the bone. Every man for himself.

It's a regulation against right to work. Of course it's going to destroy job opportunities. It's axiomatic.
When has an employment regulation ever facilitated the CREATION of jobs?
Ever? Any regulation? Name just one.

Any time you hear "threat to Democracy" in mockingbird media propaganda, it really means a "threat to the Oligarchs"

Democratic mob rule most certainly does not create policy in the USA.
Policy is made by a select few oligarchs in DC

@Vader
I've been told that $10-12 minimum wage would be beneficial, but I've heard $15 would destroy small businesses
Every large monopoly supports the minimum rage as a legal barrier to competition.
They also support Labor Unions that destroy labor competition where right to work laws do not exist.
Minimum wage is de-facto a regulation against right-to-work for everyone.

@thett3
Well they are a small enough group that they likely don’t impact the median that much, but yeah. Pretty weird that such a deeply systemically racist society allows so many immigrant groups to have such high incomes and levels of wealth
It's clearly a cultural problem as Dr. Sowell discusses at length in his audiobook.
Not sure if you have time for it, but the first 3 hours has most of the info.

Why isn't America systemically racist against Nigerian immigrants? Many who come here much poorer than most POC born in the USA.
Are they just a special shade of Black skin?

I really hate the term "black-white wealth gap" considering Nigerian-Americans make far above the median household income.
It's obviously a culture problem and not a skin color problem.

minimum wage laws fall under the category of "the average person is too stupid to be trusted with the freedom to choose responsibly for himself, therefore the government will step in and take that choice away from the people"
There are countless regulatory laws that fall under this category, such as seatbelt laws, laws against school choice, and laws severely limiting self-employment.
It's nothing more than a weak justification for a power grab by elites, and there is absolutely no wonder why ALL monopolies support the minimum wage as a legal means to crush competition.

you denied the consensus of science
Science has absolutely NOTHING to do with "consensus"
What a ridiculous fad that has been going around the last decade propagated by politicians to create a new meaning for science.
Most actual science is conveniently censored.

If I said that, then you can easily tell me which post I said it in. If you can't then I didn't, and if I didn't then you can apologize for putting words in my mouth. You won't though.
You are the worst kind of troll on this site. Conflating a question with a statement.
I get you don't want to answer the question that is the TOPIC of this thread and make fucked up excuses for not doing so. A troll would never actually discuss ideas.
Go be toxic somewhere else please.

Still standing by Trump is a racist? God help you man.
Like I said before, if you wanna make a thread claiming Trump is too much of a dummy to know if he is a racist or not, go do that.
I'll stick with the Dr. Sowell points nobody can refute without ridiculous ad-homs.

At least when the oligarchs founded it, they had the best interests of everyone. This current group of oligarchs are more insidious though for some reason
Because operation Mockingbird wasn't in full swing at the start of FDR's tyrannical rule.

Ethnicity isn't a race. There are a fuckton of white-skinned Mexicans. There are a fuckton of Rachel Dolezal wannabes in America.
Mexico isn't a race.
People have no goddamn clue what race is. The misuse of the word today is exactly like Dr. Sowell described.
A word designed to provoke a response like Pavlov's dog.

Right now it's just anti-GOP everything no matter what. The acquisition of Power for the oligarchy in DC is far more important than providing solutions for the public on anything.

Wikipedia is definitely a great place to get a grounding on a particular topic. I'm not sure where your claim of it being a radical leftwing cesspool of misinformation comes in, but that phrasing alone reeks of nonsensical hysteria.

Yes, he makes a great Uncle Tom.
Uncle Tom was the hero of the book, but thanks for such a monumental display of ignorance and the Pavlov's dog trigger Dr. Sowell mentioned.
As if a Black man needs an self-loathing Uncle Joe to tell him what it means to be Black. Nor do they need another 50 years of hateful labels from the same racists.
