You can make whatever assumptions that let you sleep at night. Do you understand what a majority is? Serious question.
Assumptions? That was a direct quote.
and I’ve always been under the impression that “majority” was more than half. Am I mistaken?
So. Direct quote. More than half of black people are fucking trash. That’s a fucked up opinion.
Ok, I’ll point out the obvious. Your assumption is that I only think the majority of black people are trash. That said, no specific numbers withstanding, how about that Ferguson riot. Looked like a lot of black people to me. Can you see why this stereotype exists?
Another question. Are you a liberal?
I should have known better than to get into an argument with a mustang owner.
how about every fucking mass shooting that has taken place in this country over the last 15 years?!? Looked like a lot of white people to me. Why doesn’t this stereotype exist?
I would ask ask your political affiliation but I already know the answer. As far as my politics, I pull views from all political ideas. Libertarian and liberal mostly. Id rather see the government spend tax revenue on feeding the poor than making tanks. I’m a bleeding heart, what can I say
I will say this, using the word majority was a poor choice for when I was trying to convey the ratio of experiences I’ve had.
Look at what happens when the demographic at hand moves out into the first ring suburbs. Section 8 can suck a dick.
You questioned my comprehension of the word “majority” when in actuality…
Well the majority of my experience with said demographic were negative.
You make this too easy.
Majority is more than half. 75% (aka three quaters) is more than half.
I would consider “fucking trash” as an ok description of high school drop outs. Underprivileged and underparented would be better descriptions.
This is a FACT from a news story, NOT my opinion:
“That means that three quarters of the black male students in Buffalo do not graduate with the kids they entered ninth grade with,” Michael Holzman, research consultant with the Schott Foundation, said. “That’s very bad. That’s very bad for them. It’s very bad for the country.”
[edit] since this study was “on time” graduation “fucking trash” is harsh for those that did graduate behind their peers [/edit]
Why don’t you guys settle this in the Eastern Hills mall? Pick a section with minimal blunt objects if possible, keep it clean.
Beers afterward?
This thread needs more bacon and/or Emma Watson.
Emma Watson definitely needs to be porked
My brother in law didn’t graduate high school. He got his GED and he’s a super skilled and pretty successful carpenter. One of my best friends didn’t graduate, didn’t even get his GED till he was 21, now he has a pretty good job and is a homeowner. Lack of a High school graduation doesn’t always equal a person who is “fucking trash.” although, both of these people had a good family structure, and lived in good areas. I think that has a lot more to do with it.
Parenting and environment are the two major factors in child rearing IMO.
Not to argue…cause I’m not, but you’ve given one example for a rebuttal.
You’re probably right. Not graduating high school is an absolute 100% guarantee that you will be a failure.
This thread turned quickly…
So your example is someone who is I assume isn’t a minority got his GED and did ok :lol:
Would not passing high school be the literal definition of failing?
Or is failing now not a PC word for people that don’t pass?
When you consider 13% of the population accounts for that much FBI crime data that fact is a little staggering. It’s certainly not a good thing to bring up as your example of how white people are just as bad.
If I handed you a 7 sided die and told you to roll it 100 times and 50% of the time it came up 3, you’d wonder what was up with that die and why 3 came up so much. That’s about what’s happening here. All things being equal blacks should account for about 13% of the crime based on their chunk of the population pie chart, but are actually accounting for about 50%. Skin color isn’t determining this outcome though.
Unfortunately you can’t have an honest conversation about what is determining this outcome because as soon as you bring up the 13%/50% numbers everyone cries racism.
