Yeah I guess it's been a while since anyone made this clear, but neither this thread nor this subforum are "Negro Q&A." If you want to know why black people do X you can ask your racist uncle like all the other white kids.

there wolf posted:At least some prosecutors and judges don't have time for that poo poo. They used the anti-gang laws against those assholes who spent two days driving around Douglasville, drinking, waving Confederate flags, and ultimately rolling up on a child's birthday party to threaten the family with guns. So I'm guessing these guys weren't brave enough to take their shitshow to West Atlanta or East Point or any other area ITP where there they would have been run out on a rail over this poo poo. It's amazing how bigots are so careful when it comes to picking and choosing their targets. Veskit posted:I was upset by the punishment those 2 got, but overall I'm fairly upset at the criminal justice system and especially how long black people go to jail. Why bother with jailtime? I'm sure they can learn their lesson just as well with probation and a little community service. [/sarc]

Honestly, I'm kind of getting to the point where I'm uncomfortable with this sort of "they don't have the balls to go to the rough black neighborhoods and pull this poo poo" comment. It's not like any sort of vigilantism from black people wouldn't get put down hard regardless of how deliberate the racist poo poo-stirring was. Also it give these assholes more credit than they deserve. It's not like they know where any bad neighborhoods are and choose to avoid them. They think the whole city is some benighted hellscape of drugs and gang wars. Might as well say they aren't brave enough to take their poo poo to World of Coke.

I've giving them too much credit by saying they're too dumb and racist to distinguish between good and bad neighborhoods in a large metropolitan area, and instead just assume it's all dangerous because city=bad? When your genius plan to harass the minorities happens to align with never stepping foot outside your little bumfuck town, it's not because you're know you can't get away with it elsewhere. It's because you know you can get away with it where you are and are content to be a petty terrorist to your own neighbors.

Hi yes please do not equate black neighborhoods with seething hives of crime where white people, even racist ones, would get insta-murdered. That's loving horrifically racist and you have the whole rest of SA to act like that if you want. This is the one place you can't, so respect that and stop acting like complete trash.

You should take a step back and read what you said. You're making a pretty strong implication about majority black areas and if you're saying that's what they believe you aren't clear about it and if you aren't maybe the fact that I'm not sure whether you are should be a red flag. She's deliberately trying to push you hard enough that you can't back away from it but have to engage with it, so don't try and write it off as her being a drama queen. Own up to saying it and know that that doesn't have to be you but you have to separate it from you rather than digging in to defend it.

It's what they believe, which is why they tend to keep their fuckery confined to areas where they believe the resident black population to be more "docile". 2. If that's what she's trying to do (which imho isn't necessary), then she's doing a pretty lovely job of it.

Boy it sure is great that the thread about talking about the issues people of color face has taken the time to talk about Domestic Amuse's feelings and intent.  So, about Betsy DeVos' comments on Historically Black Colleges. It sounds like she has no idea what she's talking about. From what I've read they were made because people of color did not have the luxury of school choice because of racist universities. How is her misconception about this going to gently caress over black people? In general, how bad is this for black people? Also I brought something to cheer you all up.  https://twitter.com/MikeElChingon/status/834878788714450944

The Department of Education has traditionally been the department that protects the civil rights of students. Higher Ed advocates are already concerned with the weakening of title IX enforcements. Devos not recognizing something fairly basic about American racial history does not start her off on the right foot of protecting minorities.

It's very likely she was literally taught what she wrote and has believed it her entire life. She's a calvinist whose only formal education was to attend America's only calvinist institution of higher learning. It has huge problems with racist students right now, in 2017. I can't imagine what it would have been like in the 60s.

Threadspamming for those who only look at bookmarks! I created a new thread on the history of populist movements who ejected/rejected disadvantaged groups from the coalition. I think it'll be interesting, and I hope for contributions of both additional examples and discussions. Please hop over and take a look, if that sort of thing is up your alley! For contribution! Pastrymancy posted:The Department of Education has traditionally been the department that protects the civil rights of students. Higher Ed advocates are already concerned with the weakening of title IX enforcements. Devos not recognizing something fairly basic about American racial history does not start her off on the right foot of protecting minorities. Incidents of racial and sexual harassment/intimidation/violence are notoriously difficult to investigate, adjudicate, and/or prosecute. They're often mishandled or ignored by police departments in the best of circumstances, and God help you if the case's context involves athletics or politics (Baylor, Penn State, Duke). A DoE that withdraws the obligations to schools to handle these things leaves it in the hands of local police. Even an ostensibly color-blind stance of "schools or universities are not equipped to handle [category of cases], and should be leaving it to the police" is a disaster, for reasons obvious to everyone in this thread. It also denies us the dark, soulcrushing comedy of racist-rear end college football fans becoming suddenly woke if it means their star athlete misses fewer games (c.f. Lisa Simpson in Colorado, 2016 University of Minnesota Golden Gophers)

So a local bookstore (Powell's, largest indy bookstore in the world) has had special displays up in it's windows promoting Black Lives Matter and Black authors, and they had these nice little reading suggestion postcards made up for people to take:  Figured someone here might appreciate the list of books, I can personally recommend Freedom is a Constant Struggle, Invisible Man, Kindred, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, and The Underground Railroad, the rest of them, I haven't read yet.

Then ask "What influence, if any, does Supreme Mathematics and the philosophy of the NOI have on the study of metaphysics? Are there any notable academic philosophers whose work is driven by this theory?" And then you would probably get the answer "Why are you asking this here, go to a Philosophy thread." Do you see the difference in the phrasing? Your original questions carried the assumption that (A) Black people automatically know more about Supreme Mathematics/etc, (B) Black academics automatically take this more seriously than academics of other races, and (C) any generic Black person would be able to answer this question, as opposed to individuals who specialize in the field (who may or may not be Black).
