See the way a normal discussion goes is that both sides provide evidence. Not where one side provides evidence and the other side gives "what-ifs" and demands more data than answers each of their specified what-ifs. If you think something might be true, look for facts to support that supposition yourself. Don't demand others do your work for you.

Cole posted:nobody said racism was over. you are a horrible transcriber. Then what exactly did you mean by "Do you have anything more recent? A good majority of those sources are around 20 years old."? At the most charitable interpretation I can come up with is "I admit systemic racism was a problem 20 years ago" followed by "but you can't prove it's still a problem today." Put forth an actual argument you want to advance instead of a cryptic oneliner with leading implications if you want people to not see your obvious implications. My argument is that systemic racism has been, continues to be, and will be a severe problem that urgently needs to be addressed. I provided both a study to back my point and a non-scientific video to illustrate it. Your turn.

Cole posted:i'm actually being really nice to you and it's pretty common for people to ask for more recent sources when the world has changed so much since the sources you posted were published. First off, it's a 2003 paper, where their own research is new. The white-felon-vs-black-man effect was not 20+ years ago, it was 12. They cited fairly current research for when their paper was written - frequently between 3-5 years old, although older and well-regarded papers from farther back were cited as well. It's not like racism is a brand new phenomenon, people have studied it for decades. Secondly "you would have failed this class I just made up" is also not an argument. If you even want to pursue something so ridiculous, you have to cite college class writing guidelines that state the age of sources allowed. Not just a single class - that's not representative of systemic "agism" in citations. You'll need to sample a large number of class guidelines and compile the data on their citation age limit, or provide a peer-reviewed study that does the same. Or, you could stop using dumb distractions and present a counter-argument yourself.

Edit: It was funded by the National Institute of Justice in 2002 (search for 2002-IJ-CX-0002). While there was probably research and preparatory work done before the funding was given, it would require money to go out and do the study. I can't prove it was done after 2002, but that seems like a strong conclusion.

I just want to take some time to talk about how 9/11 changed racism in the US. After those terrorists ended thousands of lives the world was in turmoil, black people rose up and overtook their white oppressors. The fight was long and hard but eventually one became the president (by force) and ended racism.

The fight was long and hard but eventually one became the president (by force) and ended racism. From quick googling, it seems that it made racism worse overall. I never said what type of impact, whether I am right or wrong, or what any current study would show. My point, however, is that black people getting hired isn't harder than a white felon getting hired. This be completely independent of racism getting worse (cops don't care if you are employed). I have seen black people getting treated like poo poo just for being black. I haven't, however, noticed any black people getting turned down for jobs just because they are black. I'm sure it happens, but not to the same degree it happens to white felons. Maybe I am wrong, but I can't find any recent conclusive studies, which is what I am looking for and asking about.

So you're rejecting a study from 2003 because it's too old for you to rely on the data therein, on what do you base your *~*~thinking~*~* that racial discrimination isn't a problem anymore? Like what is your point, that maybe racism isn't as bad as 2003 but we don't really know so let's assume it's better now?

I didn't say it wasn't a problem anymore. I said I don't think it's harder for a black man to get hired than a white felon. The rise of social media puts everyone everywhere on constant alert to what is going on in the world. Companies have faced a lot of scrutiny in the last decade for being prejudice in their hiring practices. Ulta, for example, has to pay out $200k for discrimination (first result on Google). I am sure the availability of information and the speed things can spread has had an impact on people getting hired in the United States. I am actually looking these things up but can't find anything conclusive on it, so I am wondering if anyone here has anything. People are a lot more connected now than they were 5 years ago, even moreso than they were in 2003. I think I still had dialup in 2003.

VitalSigns posted:So racial profiling and racist enforcement exists, but should never be discussed in relation to any particular case because we can't Jedi mindmeld the officer to figure out if he specifically was being racist. Harik posted:The problem is that you can apply that logic to literally every case, so since it's never racism ever it must not be systemic racism at work. This goes with the study I posted as well: Since you can't prove any specific lack of a callback is due to racism there's obviously no racism in the hiring process, since 100% of all rejections cannot be proved to be based on racial grounds. It's not though. Would you be totally cool with the Sandra Bland stop if she was white? Want to go back through dash cam tapes of every single traffic stop in the city and figure out which ones were racially motivated? Looking at which departments have been successful in combating bias and promoting wider adoption of their policies is a good idea, but when you're drilling down to the point where you have an individual cop pulling someone over for a traffic stop, the only real question is whether it's legal, supportable and professional. Trying to suss out what percentage of the cop's decision-making was racially motivated (since it's not a binary thing) when they pulled someone over and found warrants or a trunk full of coke is dumb as hell.

It wouldn't be okay if Sandra had been white, but statistically black people are more likely to have that happen to them because policing in America is racist, which is why racist policing is brought up as a component of police reform.

Thanks, I'm not sure how I missed that when searching for dates. Which means either they got the grant I found after they did their fieldwork, or Fiscal Year 2002 means "all grants since 2001 and before 2002". I'll edit my previous post to include this. I think there'd be a great paper in "effects of 9/11 on racism by employers" since they had pre-and-post 9/11 data. They didn't note any effect, and nobody has brought up any studies that non-arab-looking groups were strongly affected by it. Edit: Moved from my above edit since this thread is moving fast for this late at night. But you know what time linearity says happened after 9/11/2001? 2009, when Devah Pager did a followup study in New York that showed that a black man with a conviction faced a 75% penalty to a black man with no conviction, while a white felon only faced a 30% penalty for his conviction compared to a non-convicted white peer. I'm not sure that the table on page 200 (6 of the PDF) means that things have improved - this is a different study, not a repeat of the 2003 study, and they're studying based on interviews granted - so everyone that simply threw away a resume for any reason isn't included.

Color me surprised. I had no idea that the endemic racism experienced by black people in the united states today was rooted in the events that occurred on 9/11.
