lol no its not racist its a fact though you might be misunderstanding me black people (not all) are usually or more likely to be born in high poverty areas more likely to be surrounded by crime, more likely to have a dad in prison more likely to drop out more likely to do powdered drugs.
(i made my other post sound like they do drugs more than white people but actually "Hispanic and White students were more likely to report drug use and abuse than Asian and African American students prior to coming to college and during college." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2377408/ whites were more likely to do drugs but there are lots of factors that could contribute to this like population.

in that sense it is stereotyping but again doesn't take away from the argument since its a fact black people are more likely to do drugs.

stereotype: to believe unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same
no ones saying every black person does drugs
its a fact they are more likely to
Created:
thus it disproportionally affects black people

@Fruit_Inspector
regardless of it being intentional or not it is true that black people are more likely to use powder coke

@TheUnderdog
Im a communist by definition but i hate authoritarian regimes like china and the soviet union (libertarian communist in a way). I do not think countries should intervene in other countries elections or governments simply because they are socialist. for example in chile after the first marxist president was elected
a few years after the CIA funded the military to overthrow him and then pinchote was elected who was almost if not worse than stalin

Should we not allow intersex people to participate in sports? if i remember correctly they are 1.5% of the population which seems low but is actually millions.

lol mesmer wtf why do you care what term he uses? Racism is a term used to describe people who feel hatred against races or explicitly and consciously discriminate against people of color (sometimes people are racist against whites as well)

yes it is a law that disproportionately affects black people

@3RU7AL
pretty much but i do get why he would make that distinction

@3RU7AL
hes pivoting; but for context what hes saying is that we are the real racists for thinking thy arent intelligent (no one said that) but his logic is that bad schools=unintelligent

also do you think black people disproportionately being in impoverished areas is individual bias?

@fauxlaw
systemic bias is a form of systemic racism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic_bias. lol by the way if we just fire everyone for bias cops would go down significantly i doubt you support defund the police.

i don't think you are racist at all i think that was a poor joke. but normalizing these jokes can get people sucked down into the alt right nazi territory (that's how i became racist but i managed to get out of it) for example nazis on 4chan make "jokes" about jewish people.

i said social democrat. libertarian socialists are like communists but they are anti-authoritarian (though democratic socialists are as well) in a nutshell they believe in obtaining the most amount of freedom possible (they are usually consequentialist or utilitarianist) they are usually communists or socialists (except anarcho-capitalists which is a right wing ideology). social democrats think capitalism isnt inherently bad and think in larger social safety net in a capitalist framework. (like bernie sanders).

@ebuc
Think of all the money saved with no crimminals alive to put in prisons, ergo no prisons, no police necessary cause all criminals and violence crazies are dead, money saved on no court systems cause all dispute settle with gun fire, and the lists of economic savings goes on and on.
Are you an anarchist? no judgment im a (somewhat) anarchist myself. though you could just be a communist.

lol ok i find it funny how ant vaxxers say the same thing like "i got coVid before i have antibodies" or "im immune" you may be immune but others arent its super selfish and could cause deaths. why do you choose not to listen to science? also i notice your trumper and I seeing as to how his other supporters act (could be wrong) you seem to really like listening to whatever trump says . trump actually endorsed the vaccine? https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbrewster/2021/04/23/its-a-real-lifesaver-trump-gives-strongest-endorsement-of-covid-19-vaccines-yet/?sh=45af839d4cf6 fox news also who had spread anti vaccine bs thus spreading covid has turned around and started promoting the vaccine https://morningconsult.com/2021/08/04/fox-news-viewers-covid-vaccine-hesitancy/ but both could have been hijacked by liberals.
(your most likely gonna say im stereotyping or something but technically thats true)

Statistics show that asians have more money yes thats true but that's not because intelligence. nearly 1/3 of immigrants are rich asians immigrating to america vor better education

@TheUnderdog
asians having higher iq on average also supports the argument that socioeconomic status affects iq scores largely seeing that asian immigrants are some of the most well educated and richest people in america

iq does not predict whether you are retarded or not.It actually does. Intellectual disability occurs to people who are under 70 I.Q. Intellectual disability - Wikipedia .
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2794763/ "The purpose of this article was to examine the logic and the empirical data supporting the proposition that intelligence tests are not necessary for the definition of a learning disability. Four assumptions of the use of IQ test scores in the definition of learning disabilities were examined. These assumptions were (a) IQ tests measure intelligence; (b) intelligence and achievement are independent, and the presence of a learning disability will not affect IQ scores; (c) IQ scores predict reading, and children with low IQ scores should be poor readers; and (d) reading disabled children with different IQ scores have different cognitive processes and information skills. It was argued that IQ scores measure factual knowledge, expressive language abilities, and short-term memory, among other skills, and that because children with learning disabilities have deficits in these areas, their scores may be spuriously low. It was also shown that some children with low IQ scores can be good readers, indicating that low IQ scores do not necessarily result in poor reading. Empirical evidence was presented that poor readers at a variety of IQ levels show similar reading, spelling, language, and memory deficits. On logical and empirical grounds, IQ test scores are not necessary for the definition of learning disabilities." yes i did copy the abstract doesnt take away from my argument
