racial issues

A little article from TheFire.org discussing how the practice of 'Affinity Grouping' beloved by the Social Justice crowd may fall afoul of anti-discrimination legislation passed during the Civil Rights era. I can remember seeing the phrase on right-wing sites I monitor along with plenty of...

…for two weeks for saying The Holocaust was “not about race”. My response to a Twitter thread on the topic… “I was born and raised a Jew, and don’t get the outrage. I don’t see myself as being a separate “race”, and I think biologists in general agree that “race” is a nebulous concept. Seems...

Came across this series on YouTube, well worth watching to get an idea of both sides of the racial divide. h8jUA7JBkF4 There are presently 9 of these episodes about topics such as; White Privilege and White Allergies, How to teach your kids about race Reverse Racism White Parents raising...

Even as a little kid it was obvious to me Indians didn't have red skin. Asians never looked "yellow" and only extreme outliers were "black" or "white." It seemed to me most people were either beige or dark brown. In reading books on China I've read that Englishmen were considered to have "red"...

Your claim was about Warren's position on the matter. I'm still waiting for you to support that. This is a continuation from here

I am linking to this article because Walter Mosely's Op-Ed is behind a paywall. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/walter-mosley-quits-star-trek-discovery-using-n-word-writers-room-1237489 If the above article is correct he was using the 'N-Word' to describe himself not anyone else...

I read the article linked below because I wanted to but the second-to-last paragraph disturbed me to the core, is this where epigenetics pseudoscience has led. (Emphasis mine.) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-47866741 It's bad enough that white supremacists claim that violence is an...

The actual headline is "Melbourne men accused of setting fire to Shia Mosque celebrated and showed off to their wives, court told", but if I'd used that most people would have assumed they were Whites rather than the Sunni Muslims...

Much has been said about the murder rate in Chicago, which ordinarily picks up in the Summer. The phrase is: "Sun's out, Guns Out." The other summer crime wave in Chicago gets much less press. That other wave is groups of teens, primarily black, using social media to organize roving gangs who...

'Despicable, slanderous and FALSE': Bodycam video reveals woman lied about being raped by cop who pulled her over for DUI - and even her LAWYER now apologizes for 'any trouble these claims may have caused' Seems to obviously be racism. But we can't be sure...

I have become concerned that these gourds may be inherently racist. The Perilous Whiteness of Pumpkins :jaw-dropp

This makes me very angry, Lynch is an Irish surname (Wikipedia) and now we have members of the 'hypersensitivity generation' freaking out over it. https://au.news.yahoo.com/nsw/a/37987046/why-greens-are-calling-for-new-suburb-name-to-be-scrapped/

Harris is a guy that I find incredibly disappointing. I really liked some of the points he made in debates around the peak of the 4 Horsemen Era, but egad, he has disgraced himself since. This seems to be the bottom, giving a fawning interview to Charles Murray. Here is a great article breaking...

An article called "In Defense of Transracialism" was published by a young professor named Rebecca Tuvel, in the feminist philosophy journal Hypatia, passing the peer review and editorial process. It posed the question of whether some of the arguments in favor of transgenderism could also be...

This article is one I find myself agreeing with. I find that identity politics does more to hinder the dealing with issues like racism and sexism than help...

I think I understand what the teacher in this instance was trying to say, I will highlight the key passage in the quote below: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/education/wp/2016/10/19/to-be-white-is-to-be-racist-period-a-high-school-teacher-told-his-class/?tid=a_inl But he has fallen into...

This thread has been split from What if the "wrong" person wins in November? where the discussion about Western culture and values was woefully off topic. Not sure if you've all seen this image or not: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CvLxFW9UkAUkMr3.jpg It shows how the results would be if only...

The African-American community has the following problems at much higher rates than whites and the USA and general: -crime -poverty -low high school & college graduation rates -single parent homes -drug use -unemployment The government tried to deal with some of these issues with welfare...

http://eagnews.org/video-harvard-stu...-to-privilege/ "When a white debater asked Feliciano whether he should commit suicide, Feliciano said “I don’t see why not, it’s ethical.” When the white debater suggested that it might be better to remain alive and fight the social forces that promote...

We all know that Jeb Bush is noted for his outreach to the Hispanic community. Indeed, he married a Mexican-born woman and his kids are mixed, But as the New Yorker reminds us, "ethnic identities are not exactly elective". Lets see if the same people who got outraged over Elizabeth Warren...

I've always liked Barkley. Now even more so: "During a radio interview, the media personality said that he believed successful African-Americans are targeted by "brainwashed" and "uneducated" members of their community. "For some reason, we're brainwashed to think if you're not a thug or an...

Not sure this is the right place for this, please advise if otherwise. Was reprimanded this morning for describing someone as oriental. Then pummeled for pointing out the differences between humans around the world. Supposedly this is not correct anymore. We are one specie, human. There are...

Pro Publica recently published the results of a year-long study of presidential pardons and who gets them. Although the process seems to be fairly opaque and arbitrary, one thing they found was that your chances of obtaining a presidential pardon have been much higher if you are white than if...

http://youtu.be/Wm4ZTSOen0k This video addresses an interesting question. When non black races such as white people or asians are attacked because of their race ad ethnicity why isn't it classified as a hate crime? I pride myself on not being racist but if I were attacked and injured...

3 times in the last 2 weeks, I've been called "Boss" by a black man (I'm white)... not the same man, a different person each time, ranging in age from maybe late 20s to early 40s. It's something you don't hear all that often anymore, but it's not so uncommon around here as to seem odd. Still...

This post is in response to a PM that questioned if I still held to the notion that race is largely a human construct with little basis in fact to justify dividing people by race. I've posted the thread here, in the social issues forum, because race is simply, by and large, a social issue...
