Mr Interweb posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjDUUU-Z-aI Imagine a hypothetical society where the prevailing belief is, "Red haired people are inherently criminal! Look at all the red haired people in jail!" Well, what link is there between red hair and crime? (there's none). If studies showed that there's no correlation between hair color and crime, then the jailed redheads is actually proof of the biases and prejudices of a society that condemns redheads unjustly. If you say, "But redheads perform worse in schools! Earn less in jobs! Die younger!", all of that is in fact an indictment of schools and jobs and society - not "proof" that redheads are dumb (because the actual proof says there's no correlation), but proof that people are out to get them. It's the illusion of an argument, made by evil fuckers with axes to grind. If black people struggle in higher learning institutions, it's the fault of the institutions for being awful, because black people are as smart as any other race. We know they're as smart as any other race because of genetic studies, because of double-blind tests where they hide names on resumes, because of any of a hundred other instances of actual science. Conservatives make these dogshit arguments because they have dogshit beliefs that can't be validated in any honest way.

Citing Thomas Sowell is an own-goal but Owens isn't the brightest bulb. It's not true of course: quote:In fact, most of the research on the mismatch question points in the opposite direction. In our 2009 book, William Bowen, Michael McPherson, and I found that students were most likely to graduate by attending the most selective institution that would admit them. This finding held regardless of student characteristics—better or worse prepared, black or white, rich or poor. Most troubling was the fact that many well-prepared students “undermatch” by going to a school that is not demanding enough, and are less likely to graduate as a result. Other prior research has found that disadvantaged students benefit more from attending a higher quality college than their more advantaged peers. https://www.brookings.edu/research/are-minority-students-harmed-by-affirmative-action/

Mr Interweb posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjDUUU-Z-aI I would wager that they're comparing white students from high socioeconomic status families that got very high SAT/ACT scores and attended very high end high schools (because those are the kind of white kids that go to Ivy League schools) to black students that benefited from Affirmative Action style programs primarily being drawn from the best performers at underperforming public schools that serve low socioeconomic status families. There would be a huge culture shock and potentially a large initial knowledge gap for the latter group. That may well result in a large difference in terms of grades and the like, but taken in conjunction with the results of that Brookings study quoted above ("Other prior research has found that disadvantaged students benefit more from attending a higher quality college than their more advantaged peers.") and you can conclude that Owens is being deceptive by pointing at grades rather than actual gains in knowledge or life outcomes.

greazeball posted:If you enjoy people making fake accounts for prominent Republicans and shitposting until they get banned, then Parler might be for you! Makes me long for old days with goon-rushing ReganBook or Freedombook whatever the gently caress it was. These snowflakes really need their safe spaces, don't they? ... It's just so god damned dumb. They cry about free speech and censorship one minute then bitch about talk about the free market being able to solve everything - as if FB, Twitter or You Name It weren't privately owned companies. Didn't some crazy women handcuff herself to Twitter HW or something? Loomer? I think the whole disgusting thing speaks to these people's fear and how scared they are to venture outside of their echo chamber. I borrowed a company van yesterday and, sure enough, radio was on AM talk radio station. They listen to this ALL DAY. I don't know why they think that advertising driven "information" is more believable and valid than even something like NPR but they're a weird bunch of people. I'll cop to mainly posting here and maybe staying in a bit of an echo chamber myself but I can't convince myself it's the same thing and all that "both sides" bullshit. I honestly think it's the main reason so many of them enjoy church so much. Not to get on a religion derail or anything.

DukeDuke posted:“Only the Republican Party can protect speaking of which, i was watching a video of vaush going over a video of that Rising show with krystal ball and saagar enjeti (sp?) responding to that tucker clip. and it's like the perfect example of some "anti-establishment" dem being a useful idiot for the right. in that video, vaush makes a great point (which i noticed too) where throughout the entire thing, while ball pushes back a little bit, most of it is just her complaining about dems doing symbolic gestures like renaming/taking down confederate buildings/monuments without making fundamental, structural changes. saagar, who is supposed to be a "rightwing populist" agrees with ball and says that the corporate right is the same way (immensely loving stupid comment, btw), but here's the kicker: unlike ball, saagar still directs the audience to vote for trump and support those very republicans he's complaining about, whereas ball just throws her hands up and says "a pox on both your houses!" and leaves it at that. she also said some REALLY yikes-y comments about how the left was exaggerating how bad trump would be if he was elected, and because her life is barely effected, trump must not be as dangerous as the hysterical lefties made him out to be. it's a particularly slimy tactic, acting like you're the only one who's above it all, knows what the REAL big picture priorities are, and also if trump gets re-elected, aw well

I think that if it ever gets to the point where they can't sell any advertising, right wing billionaires will just fund their propaganda machine directly.

Mr Interweb posted:wait, what's the story behind this? Some conservative was a huge racist generally but also to her personally, she couldn't say anything because conservatives would automatically take his side and call her a liar and a race baiter, but since someone else finally called him out it's safe for her to come forward too. A black conservative having to stay quiet about racism directed at her from a conservative does not in any way show that conservatism is super racist

They don't care about what they pretend to believe, they don't care about what you actually believe. They care about power, money, and fame. Look at how she censored the word. Take out the i. Everyone with a modicum of concern would either not use it at all or censor the end. She doesn't even care about racism because she's literally putting the word all over while saying how wrong it is.
