Yes I’m totally lying about where I grew up. I would offer a wager that if I prove to you where I grew up, the loser leaves the forum but honestly the forum is slowly dying out and couldn’t afford it.

It isn't about believing where you grew up but that where you grew up didn't affect your views.

Someone gets it.

A grade-school child could understand the question. He is deflecting.

It did affect my views. I understand more than most what actually goes on in inner cities.

Was anyone else unaware that Robert E Lee was part of the Confederacy? I associate him with fine baked goods.

Pleasure conversing with you. As always!!!

EDIT: (I had to google Ancom)

I'm a socialist. I believe in government. The autonomous zone "looks tight" but it obviously isn't at all my ideal. Far from it.

She found that black applicants got half the call backs that white applicants got with the same qualifications.

This study inspired experiments in lots of areas of life. One study, for example, responded to more than 14,000 online apartment rental adds but varied whether the name attached to the email implied a white applicant (e.g., Allison Bauer) or a black applicant (e.g., Ebony Washington). The black applicants were twenty-six percent less likely to be told that the apartment was available.

These kinds of experiments are not ambiguous like statistics on disparities are. There were no differences in merit. Race was the cause. Real employers and landlords discriminated against blacks and in favor of whites, by a large margin.

you've shown that blacks face discrimination. I've not argued against that. I've said that they face no more discrimination than anyone else.

I haven't been paying attention... this is thread is going faster than I care to keep up with. But I see 20K as the last post and I had to pop in to see what was going on.

The response is that they face no more discrimination that anyone else...? But yet the research literally says that they face more discrimination than whites. To discriminate against one group another group by definition is being favored. In a way you are right. The amount of discrimination blacks feel is more or less roughly equal to what whites feel. The only difference is that whites are discriminated in their favor vs discriminated against.

You seem to understand more than most about everything.

No one, and I mean NO ONE, is against black lives. I think BLM is a horrible organization... but not because black lives don't matter.

I mean except the Klan. And Skin Heads... And Bob down the street from me.

We must protect our history. I don’t let them take down statues dedicated to great American bakers like Robert E Lee
