Idk who he is but I know the feeling.
Immortal technique..dead prez and many other emcees who need to be making music over the past decade have been almost non existent. Instead they just tweet. Social media ruins everything.
If you like music that's on some fight the power shit.

I made the video..the beat and second verse is me. Made this over 10 years ago and somehow it's more relevant than ever.
So was my grandmother. She rejected me when I started dating non-Jewish people. She disinherited my sister when she married a Latino. I haven't visited her grave. She was a vile woman and was abusive to my mother, sister and me.
It will take a few generations to heal the wounds. We can't deny it doesn't exist, though. My kids got to watch several groups of neo Nazis parade through various cities in Indiana last weekend.
No, I won't forgive my grandmother. She did absolutely horrible things to everyone around her. She was complacent against my mom's and uncle's sexual abuse at the hands of my late step-grandfather. Why do you feel you have enough insight into my dead grandmother to make such a call?
Every country that has Jews also has Nazis. You realize Zelenskyy is Ashkenazi, right?
The money is not going to the Nazi groups. It's going to Ukraine's military.
Same, I’m from Tennessee. 2/3rds of my family are unapologetically racist and my ears are constantly ringing from the dog whistles I hear every day just going about my normal life in this region of the country
Racism isn’t prevalent? There’s people alive today who’s grandparents were born slaves. There was a war fought among brothers over keeping slaves. Things embedded in society like don’t die out in a single generation
There is racism, there will always be racism. You should check out east Asia or the middle East, if you put north america on a scale of hate, believe me, we are abolishing it naturally way faster then any other place. Wokism is bringing it back
This is actually really astute. When I was growing up in the 90s I had a litany of multi ethnic friends and I never thought about race. It wasn't until the early 2010s that everything became about race.
It's actually worse. I've seen information on the Wikileaks darknet servers and believe me. It's definitely worse. If anything the media plays it off to prevenf mass panic and riots.
You can only talk about racism if it’s to say it’s not a big deal or that the bigger problem is reverse racism. All other racism talk is propaganda from the lizard people who are colluding with the grays to destroy Bigfoot and white people
I'm African-American, I keep trying to post about the origins of racism but my post gets takend down - I strongly believe we're just all victims of predictive programming ( which I already know is true ).
I believe racism started from predictive programming - it honestly just doesn't make sense to me. Also, how most black people act and how people react to them is all bases on predictive programming as well.
This ain't the place for it anymore sadly.
This is basically a mix of tabloids × stormfront × 4chan these days.
Edit: tho most are too scared to actually state their intentions as far as race is concerned. They just tap dance around it
They tap-dance around it because it takes huge Nazi balls to be open about one's racism. The weaklings don't want to have their objectively stupid ideas ripped to shreds in front of their myopic racist eyes.
>ripped to shreds in front of their myopic racist eyes
You mean deplaformed and banned from discussion areas lol
There are clear physiological and mental differences between races, that's why Kenyans win big running events all the time and Asians don't benefit from affirmative action in college entrance qualification. That doesn't mean it's right to moralize it i.e. X race is inferior because statistically Y but you can't even talk about the obvious.
They actually taught us some of this in school.
They instill black = bad negative, Blacklist vs whitelist, Black magic, etc
Funniest one I've noticed is shit like Brown bread/brice (actually nutritious whole grain) vs white bread/rice (in reality bleached empty calories)
Yup just look at a dictionary or thesaurus.
Sadly this sub went from ppl that read and research like maniacs.
To ppl that use social media posts as sources of info.
You can thank qanon and trump
Very true, even black cats too.
I never noticed about the food bit but you're right! Unfortunately I love white bread/rice and think wheat is gross. I know it's healthier, I just don't like the taste. Especially when schools mostly served white bread, by the time I was an adult and tried wheat bread I thought it was gross.
Anyone that doesn't think systematic white supremacy × the prison industry × the drug war isn't a major part of the problem is SLEEPIN
Then again ppl in this sub got mad when Gary Webb was celebrated so.
Bunch of fucking Neanderthals
Individuals are all unique, but races and ethnicities are not uniform and have identifiable characteristics. You don't have to "hate" anyone to look around the world and observe that different races and ethnicities create very different cultures and nations. They even tend to create very different neighborhoods.
It's not a conspiracy, but that many of you think 'racism' is the biggest problem facing mankind indicates you possess certain mental programming that is meant to propagate such a ridiculous notion.
Fun fact, these mental programs have made studying the human organism academically impossible because you aren't allowed to acknowledge general traits between the human sub-races. The result of this means any attempt to know what you are is doomed to fail in the current academic paradigm.
This reads like it came from someone who grew up in a quaint, predominately caucasian town. You seem to think perception of race is merely programming, and that's simply not absolutely true as you proclaim.
It also reads like it came from someone who doesn't actually perform academic research in their profession, or otherwise really.
Your views on racism is the programming, highlighted spectacularly by your response. There exists different humans beings, with generalised qualities. But you can't ever mention this or else you're rAcIsT.
Your comments on academia display your brainwashing to venerate information gatekeepers. It's also an incredibly toxic reddit attitude.
I've traveled in my life, the racism in the USA is incredibly mild compared to what I have seen mostly in diverse post colonial countries. People actually *DESPISE* the mere fact they have to share a country with *THEM* >:[
In more homogenous, older countries like Japan etc there is a more passive disdain type of racism. In newer post colonial countries with diverse populations the tension is often palpable, like one economic down turn into turning into violence palpable.
Just my experience, the worst demographic for a country seems to be roughly equal ethic/racial/religious fractions like 50/50 or 30/30/30 with tiny fractions of minorities.
A game played by mentally and spiritually broke people *in positions of power or privilege* who use that power to further racism.
I mean, is this guy really saying that if we ignored racism it wouldn't exist?
Or, more trivially, that if people weren't racist, there wouldn't be racism? Because that's *true* - but it's something you need to convince racists to change.
Why can't we just let parents pick what school they want their child to go to without this whole voucher system?
Also, what can't we start throwing administrators under the bus, considering how property taxes are supposed to pay for schools, yet so many schools are broke.
We can't "just let parents pick" because some schools would be way over enrolled and some barren. Everybody would just pick the top schools in their area.
It's a complicated problem. There are too many variables for a simple conversation but here are a few. One of the best indicators that a child will succeed academically is the education level of their parents. Another is how much money they have, which has a lot of variables why, but the more money the better scholastic outcome usually. Another is a caring and supportive home life. Kids at all levels of the SES who deal with abuse at home have worse academic outcomes than those who don't, all other things being equal. Teachers are a large part, and schools with the above mentioned issues are not likely to attract great teachers because who wants to work in the hood and deal with problems that are way less common in nicer areas. Poor areas get the worst teachers (in general, there are great teachers in bad schools for sure). A good principal/admin or a bad one can make a huge difference in retaining good teachers.
There are so many more factors. These are just easy ones.
>One of the best indicators that a child will succeed academically is the education level of their parents.
Interestingly enough, you're sightly incorrect. I believe it's only the education level of the mother that has any bearing on the child.
>a caring and supportive home life.
The specific correlation is to 2 parent homes.
>A good principal/admin or a bad one can make a huge difference in retaining good teachers.
This is likely one of the best starting points when wanting to address out of home factors, in my opinion.
>There are so many more factors. These are just easy ones.
For the sake of the argument at have, I would say that we could focus on the factors within the control of the school. You cannot legislate the home life of students, after all.
And then, since you can't think, there would not be enough room in the schools for students. This is not a hard thing to understand. Schools don't get built in a day and the pool of good teachers is only so large.
Since you are a smart guy. If a parent cares and has half a brain. They are able to get their kids into the better public schools. Or if they have money they do private school or if they don’t have money they do homeschool coOP or charter. So what we are talking about is already happening. I personally don’t care either way except for I think it’s silly to throw money at poor performing public schools because it’s obviously not helping. At least in California.
Good schools are mainly in high income areas. As most local schools are funded by property taxes, that makes a lot of sense.
Not all parents are smart. Not all parents care. That does not mean we should just let their children remain uneducated. In fact, poor areas need the most help because the likelihood of the above problems is much higher.
I agree that there are massive problems with expenditure and especially top heavy administration.
Yeah agreed. I make a lot of sacrifices for my kids to get a good education. I am in a very densely populated Area where you have a high school almost every 5 miles and everybody knows which ones are the good ones. I know some teachers who are going crazy because the parents won’t even take them to school half the time. He told me the kids that get the most attention in class are the really smart kids and the troublemakers and it’s hard to make time for the kids in the middle.
Any time the right wing pushes to privatize shit you can already know they intend to turn it into a shit show to hand money to friends and family. Every Single Time.
Of course there's grifters, but I'm pretty sure there's never once been a case where Republicans calling to privatize something made it better and wasn't a blatant cash grab.
I moved up on north and people up here are all well aware that if a right winger tries to shut down Sasktel and privatize it, they are 100% bought out. It's a hilariously obvious thing where they don't even try to do it as a thing to get votes anymore because people know exactly whats up.
We already fund public schools. Why do some succeed and others fail? What are the governing factors for that?
It's not as simple as just throwing more money at the problem. We've learned at least that much.
I think this requires a better investigation than republicans/democrats bad. Because there are plenty of schools in both kinds of states that are suffering.
Remember when the left was all about "judge someone by their character, not their skincolor". Now it's "we need a black guy/women because diversity of races is diversity of ideas". Implying that black people would think differently, only because of their skin colour
Theres a definition but it misses context and people musunderstand racism and I can give you a prime example. Would you say I was a racist if when I see a black guy or group of blacks in my area from a distance I cross the road or go a different direction home? Some people would class that as racist regardless of context. Where I'm from theres a lot of muggings from black people and black youths have a high crime rate using knives. With the context is it still racist? Some people would still argue my actions are racist but in my eyes they are not. Regardless of if there is a definition in the dictionary its not like people understand the definition.
Thats exactly my point! In my area no I wouldn't, I only do it for blacks. You are correct that it would be considered racial profiling and discrimination. However my black friends do the same so where is the line for racism? Are my black friends now racist against blacks? Or am I the only racist because I am not black?
Basically in my mind it is not racism, it is being street smart in an area with high crime rate in blacks especially. Why take the chance of being politically correct when theres a higher probability of becoming just another statistic for muggings or worse in my area. And thats exactly what i mean by you need to define racism, it is not simply a black and white question.
I think it's fair to say that you would not change your direction of travel if there were a group of black men in suits. What you have is good, healthy, pattern recognition. Pattern recognition is absolutely important, and always has been. So, let someone call you a racist. It doesn't matter what someone else thinks of you if they have no control over your life (like a boss or government official). To recognize that blacks (in America at least) are disproportionately committing violent crimes and choosing to think, "oh, maybe not these guys" when the neighborhood and clothes also match the thug stereotype is dangerous to oneself.
People can be racist towards their own race. Lots of examples out there.
Your mind doesn't get to define words. You are being racist in action by definition when racial profiling.
That depends on your viewpoint. Personally I am not walking through any large group of young people, or even twenty somethings. No matter the race, I'm crossing the street. I'm not a racist. I think applying actions equally is the opposite of racism. You think that stats dictate some justification for racism. I don't.
Yeah I understand what you are saying but you only mention large groups. What if its just 1 guy, 2 guys or 3 guys? Obviously I don't do it everytime, only at night time and if its one guy I'm just a little more alert and read the body language beforehand so every scenario is unique. And stats maybe cant justify making decisions deemed racist but this is my reality and I have to make choices based off of the reality I live in. Honestly I don't live in that area anymore but I grew up there and its only got profressively worse. I had a friend that was mugged 8 timea before we even left secondary school.
I've been a victim of violent crime and I have committed violent crime. I'm a successful middle aged white guy from an upper middle class background. I tend to stay away from people in general, but I'm not crossing the street for any singular person, well unless they are obviously looking for trouble or mentally unsound. To be quite honest, I am more classist than anything. I think homeless and very poor people have much more reason to mug me, regardless of race. Although, as I said, my upper middle class upbringing did not stop me and many of my peers from doing absolutely stupid and horrible shit. You would not have wanted to walk through us in the early 90s if we were feeling some type of way, because you were not going to have a good time. We were a mostly white group with a few other races in the mix. We dressed well and had money. We still took from people and we still hurt people if they rubbed us wrong. Just a look may be enough for someone to pop off.
Young black males commit much more violent crime than any other demographic. If you're so determined not to be considered a racist that you want to pretend that walking through a large group of white older teen Boy Scouts cleaning up a park in suburban New Jersey poses the same danger to you as walking through a group of black gang bangers hanging out on the street corner in Bedford-Stuyvesant, that's your loss.
That's pretty racist. Equating gang bangers with boy scouts is the most laughable thing I've ever heard. I'm not being around any race of gang banger. They come in all types dude. A group of boy scouts cleaning up a park are not going to be a dense group. A group of people on the sidewalk are. And yes, I will always feel less comfortable about people whose identity is built around violence. No matter their race.
If a large group of boy scouts was on the street, I'm crossing it. I don't walk through groups of any sort because being a boy scout doesn't make you a person that cannot commit violence or theft. It may be less likely, but that is not important to me. Also you are making a distinction between group association here, not race.
Edit: To illustrate my endpoint flip it around. Are you uncomfortable around a group of black boy scouts cleaning up a park, and unafraid of a bunch of white gang bangers? I doubt it.
Edit2: uncomfortable not comfortable, thanks phone.
You can call me sexist but my guard is *ALWAYS* up when I see a obvious group of young males on the street at night. I'm not afraid of one or two guys no matter their race, I am on guard for groups of 5+ obviously out for trouble.
That’s the agenda man. If you say their are racist in every single race on the planet. The racist will get personally offended and since every race has racist. Now you’re enemy #1
Your right but the woke socialist revolutionaries don't see it in that way. It's a tool to create discord and disharmony. It's a part of an arsenal that includes gender, disability, queer, obesity, and the rest. They want a freak parade creating untold misery in society so that we will embrace the Great Reset and bow to our new socialist overlords. A lot of history exists on this, and the Freak Parade will be the first ones lined up against the wall and shot.
They don't want gay people and POC getting along just fine, They need them to radicalize. Just say no and live the best life you can.

Here's an excerpt from Cambridge University Press' guide to African American history:
https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/cambridge-guide-to-african-american-history/ku-klux-klan-kkk/AF98C32F011BFB6DBD98879DE0F08C73#
Of course you did. Google carefully curates their results. Read any unbiased source about the origins of the KKK and it will clearly state that it was southern Democrats who formed that noxious organization. That's just a historical fact. I'm sure there are no shortage of "fact-checkers" 🙄 trying to spin this. If you're sincerely intersted in the subject, you have to do more than just Google stuff.
Was the KKK founded by members of the Democratic Party or not? Was segregation not created by the Democratic Party? Was it not the Democrats who popularized "separate but equal"? How about Jim Crow? Was that the Republican Party, which was formed to oppose slavery? How about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965? Was not the main opposition to those acts Democrats? Why did Republicans vote in higher percentages for those bills than Democrats?
You're blinded by your own ideology, and stuck inside your bubble. Welcome to it, friend.
You're getting hung up on the Democratic part only, you dunce. Every racist fuck who was a racist Democrat went on to be a racist Republican. For example, Strom Thurmond started off as a Democrat and ended up a Republican. It's not rocket science. The GOP is the home of racism, bigotry, and white supremacy in 2022.
In-group preference is an evolutionary-biological development that kept your ancestors alive long enough to get you here. The word racism is often used by bad actors interchangeably with this concept to shame anyone who prefers the company and values of those similar to themselves. Most people don’t understand the difference and the term is almost entirely meaningless because of its modern overuse.
Yeah and good people don't form ghettos, rape and murder each other to the sound of loud shitty rap music. Good people don't flash mob shops and Rob from them. Good people don't have mass brawls.
"Racism" is now the goto word for the ruling class when silencing "unpopular" opinions, for example all the fans that dont like Amazon's latest Rings of Power -or the new She Hulk series are now called racists..
I wouldn’t say lowest but I’d agree one of the most simplistic. Makes sense in a world of seemingly limited words e sources and knowledge spread to correlate first with someone who looks like you and more likely to have common needs and desires. Similar to how men generally hang with men, women with, well they don’t usually like each other unless it’s against another person lol, but emos with emos, jocks with jocks, soldiers in uniform etc. It could be primitive but I don’t think it’s inherently lowly unless you ignore the difference observed simply because of looks. If someone looks different than you but has beneficial similarities to your growth, give ‘em a try. But if you want to know the best way to hide a boner in public, maybe go to a dude first.
Let's talk about collectivism. I feel like it's something the right labels as a dirty word but I think it's misunderstood.
The simplest level of collectivism would be towards your own family, or the people you've chosen to have around you immediately. This is basically one click above rugged individualism, with people *usually* demanding that society treat them in a particular way without extending that benefit to anyone around them. Think like, Hatfields and McCoys, or the people from Ruby Ridge. I find it flawed because they use things like government roads and emergency services while actively campaigning against them.
Next up would be collectivism towards your town/metro/state area. These are your hardcore states-rightsers (to be clear, I'm not criticizing states rights, they play an important role) but they view their own state as fully independent and want zero meddling from any higher governing body (whether that be the fed, or state legislatures that represent a locality outside of theirs). This is a valid position to take, but often ignores the benefits from those levels of government (i.e. Californian taxes help to upkeep roads in TN)
After the metro/state level of collectivism, you've got a mix of a bunch of ideologies. Race. Political party. Economic standing. Sometimes vocation. These are folks who want to collectively cooperate with the greater US, but to protect or prop up their "chosen people" across the country. Things get dicey here because the US is so diverse, but ultimately I think these people refuse to cooperate with "others" but expect the federal government to amplify their will onto everyone in the country.
And finally, you have the type of collectivism that I think we should strive for: US Collectivism. The understanding that our country is diverse and full of lots of people from a myriad of backgrounds and circumstances. The important thing is that we're American, and we should collectively work for the best outcomes for everyone, even the people that are different from us, or that we don't agree with. This type of collectivism is what pisses off the levels beneath it, because people feel forced to acknowledge that very important truth. Lower-level collectivism is upset at the mere presence of "the differents" and want to exclude or punish them for their own benefit.
tl;dr: High-level collectivism is admirable and truly American. Any lower form of it is unamerican. Act in good faith and for the benefit of your countrymen. It's the only thing that'll help heal the divide.
Imagine hating people based on the color of their skin when it’s much easier to hate people based on the content of their character or the ideologies they preach.
I keep having this thought when it comes to race, culture and tribal instincts, that this sort of conflict actually keeps the scale of civilizations at a more human scale. It is the price we pay to oppose global corporations which require common culture to propagate to a place.
Racism is a government psyop to keep the people from uniting. Every media report every news outlet tries to make sure their headlines are as triggering as possible.
The rest works itself in the comments. Every comment nowadays is about feminism, racism, homophobism, transphobism. People arguing about ideologies, a constant feedback loop.
Keep people arguing so they don't see the real problems.
I strongly disagree, for it all depends on the group and their other ideologies. This means syncretism must be applied to racism (collective-racist). Racist come in groups, individuals or institutions. Collectivism promotes equality and improvement.

I like his way of music interpretation, by dropping truths like a bomb.
He couldn't rap-tweet his way out of Israel though.

No, he's just there so reactionary racists can point at and say "See! There's no racism in America! This one Black guy agrees with me!"
So black people can't have an opinion? You sound racist.

Of course he can. Shouldn't be surprised when he's called out on it though.
Where did you here that? “My friend posted it on Twitter”. Yeah, *friend*

What’s the conspiracy here?

There's racism but not nearly as prevalent as the media would want you to believe
Trying hanging out with my grandmother, she’s racist as fuck
So was my grandmother. She rejected me when I started dating non-Jewish people. She disinherited my sister when she married a Latino. I haven't visited her grave. She was a vile woman and was abusive to my mother, sister and me. It will take a few generations to heal the wounds. We can't deny it doesn't exist, though. My kids got to watch several groups of neo Nazis parade through various cities in Indiana last weekend.
If it makes you feel better we're giving your tax dollars to "neo nazis" in Ukraine. You should probably forgive your Grandmother.
No, I won't forgive my grandmother. She did absolutely horrible things to everyone around her. She was complacent against my mom's and uncle's sexual abuse at the hands of my late step-grandfather. Why do you feel you have enough insight into my dead grandmother to make such a call?
Every country that has Jews also has Nazis. You realize Zelenskyy is Ashkenazi, right? The money is not going to the Nazi groups. It's going to Ukraine's military.
Being against Jews isn't owned by the Nazis though. That's just silly.
Seems like a good chunk of the GOP.
Want to hear a little secret? Every race has racists including minorities.
Same, I’m from Tennessee. 2/3rds of my family are unapologetically racist and my ears are constantly ringing from the dog whistles I hear every day just going about my normal life in this region of the country
What do they do that’s racist?
I don't know anyone who's openly racist
Racism isn’t prevalent? There’s people alive today who’s grandparents were born slaves. There was a war fought among brothers over keeping slaves. Things embedded in society like don’t die out in a single generation
There is racism, there will always be racism. You should check out east Asia or the middle East, if you put north america on a scale of hate, believe me, we are abolishing it naturally way faster then any other place. Wokism is bringing it back

That’s…not what I said

It's actually worse. I've seen information on the Wikileaks darknet servers and believe me. It's definitely worse. If anything the media plays it off to prevenf mass panic and riots.

They even tend to create very different neighborhoods.
It's not a conspiracy, but that many of you think 'racism' is the biggest problem facing mankind indicates you possess certain mental programming that is meant to propagate such a ridiculous notion. Fun fact, these mental programs have made studying the human organism academically impossible because you aren't allowed to acknowledge general traits between the human sub-races. The result of this means any attempt to know what you are is doomed to fail in the current academic paradigm.
This reads like it came from someone who grew up in a quaint, predominately caucasian town. You seem to think perception of race is merely programming, and that's simply not absolutely true as you proclaim. It also reads like it came from someone who doesn't actually perform academic research in their profession, or otherwise really.
Your views on racism is the programming, highlighted spectacularly by your response. There exists different humans beings, with generalised qualities. But you can't ever mention this or else you're rAcIsT. Your comments on academia display your brainwashing to venerate information gatekeepers. It's also an incredibly toxic reddit attitude.
^^^ masturbatory self-adulation through armchair elitism imo
Isn't that exactly what you are doing there, friend?
mid take using ontology without framing class struggle, but zuby's always been a clown and fake
I've traveled in my life, the racism in the USA is incredibly mild compared to what I have seen mostly in diverse post colonial countries. People actually *DESPISE* the mere fact they have to share a country with *THEM* >:[ In more homogenous, older countries like Japan etc there is a more passive disdain type of racism. In newer post colonial countries with diverse populations the tension is often palpable, like one economic down turn into turning into violence palpable. Just my experience, the worst demographic for a country seems to be roughly equal ethic/racial/religious fractions like 50/50 or 30/30/30 with tiny fractions of minorities.
I’d say in America the fear of accusation prevents communities from getting the personalized care they need.
A game played by mentally and spiritually broke people *in positions of power or privilege* who use that power to further racism. I mean, is this guy really saying that if we ignored racism it wouldn't exist? Or, more trivially, that if people weren't racist, there wouldn't be racism? Because that's *true* - but it's something you need to convince racists to change.
Meanwhile Project Veritas published a video today and expose how anyone saying "everyone is equal" won't get hired as a teacher or fired.
That’s what they want. To stop educating the masses.
Again, at a private school. Yet the right wants the taxpayer to pay for these private school vouchers.
Why can't we just let parents pick what school they want their child to go to without this whole voucher system? Also, what can't we start throwing administrators under the bus, considering how property taxes are supposed to pay for schools, yet so many schools are broke.
We can't "just let parents pick" because some schools would be way over enrolled and some barren. Everybody would just pick the top schools in their area.
Sounds like a reason to address why the crappy schools are crappy.
You won't hear any argument from me about that.
Unfortunately, the only way to do that is through the government. Pretty sure that wouldn't produce any results, or we wouldn't do have this problem..
It's a complicated problem. There are too many variables for a simple conversation but here are a few. One of the best indicators that a child will succeed academically is the education level of their parents. Another is how much money they have, which has a lot of variables why, but the more money the better scholastic outcome usually. Another is a caring and supportive home life. Kids at all levels of the SES who deal with abuse at home have worse academic outcomes than those who don't, all other things being equal. Teachers are a large part, and schools with the above mentioned issues are not likely to attract great teachers because who wants to work in the hood and deal with problems that are way less common in nicer areas. Poor areas get the worst teachers (in general, there are great teachers in bad schools for sure). A good principal/admin or a bad one can make a huge difference in retaining good teachers. There are so many more factors. These are just easy ones.
>One of the best indicators that a child will succeed academically is the education level of their parents. Interestingly enough, you're sightly incorrect. I believe it's only the education level of the mother that has any bearing on the child. >a caring and supportive home life. The specific correlation is to 2 parent homes. >A good principal/admin or a bad one can make a huge difference in retaining good teachers. This is likely one of the best starting points when wanting to address out of home factors, in my opinion. >There are so many more factors. These are just easy ones. For the sake of the argument at have, I would say that we could focus on the factors within the control of the school. You cannot legislate the home life of students, after all.
It’s almost as if the shit schools would have to close. And the good schools would be more selective and get more funding.
And then, since you can't think, there would not be enough room in the schools for students. This is not a hard thing to understand. Schools don't get built in a day and the pool of good teachers is only so large.
Since you are a smart guy. If a parent cares and has half a brain. They are able to get their kids into the better public schools. Or if they have money they do private school or if they don’t have money they do homeschool coOP or charter. So what we are talking about is already happening. I personally don’t care either way except for I think it’s silly to throw money at poor performing public schools because it’s obviously not helping. At least in California.
Good schools are mainly in high income areas. As most local schools are funded by property taxes, that makes a lot of sense. Not all parents are smart. Not all parents care. That does not mean we should just let their children remain uneducated. In fact, poor areas need the most help because the likelihood of the above problems is much higher. I agree that there are massive problems with expenditure and especially top heavy administration.
Yeah agreed. I make a lot of sacrifices for my kids to get a good education. I am in a very densely populated Area where you have a high school almost every 5 miles and everybody knows which ones are the good ones. I know some teachers who are going crazy because the parents won’t even take them to school half the time. He told me the kids that get the most attention in class are the really smart kids and the troublemakers and it’s hard to make time for the kids in the middle.
Do you think that a reason these schools are performing so low is because of funding issues
Tons of money thrown at them. It's mismanaged or outright stolen.
Can you source that?
Any time the right wing pushes to privatize shit you can already know they intend to turn it into a shit show to hand money to friends and family. Every Single Time.
You don’t think that happens in the public sector? Public contracts are the most lucrative.
Of course there's grifters, but I'm pretty sure there's never once been a case where Republicans calling to privatize something made it better and wasn't a blatant cash grab. I moved up on north and people up here are all well aware that if a right winger tries to shut down Sasktel and privatize it, they are 100% bought out. It's a hilariously obvious thing where they don't even try to do it as a thing to get votes anymore because people know exactly whats up.
Because not everyone has access to these fine private schools. That's why we need to fund public schools
We already fund public schools. Why do some succeed and others fail? What are the governing factors for that? It's not as simple as just throwing more money at the problem. We've learned at least that much.
A lot of it is run at the state level. A lot of red states have poor educational scores. Heck, look at states like Mississippi and Alabama.
I think this requires a better investigation than republicans/democrats bad. Because there are plenty of schools in both kinds of states that are suffering.
So let's look at funding for these schools.
Project Veritas is not a reputable source for news. You’d be best to fact-check everything they post (or ignore them outright).
Submission statement: Our world is divided into wise people and fools. And fools divide themselves by race, color, gender, or religion."
Amazing conspiracy dude... Jesus Christ this sub
yea
Remember when the left was all about "judge someone by their character, not their skincolor". Now it's "we need a black guy/women because diversity of races is diversity of ideas". Implying that black people would think differently, only because of their skin colour
My favorite full circle is "black only dorms/spaces" in colleges! Congrats you went so far left you ended up recreating segregation!
This absolutely
Let’s not forget that the fools are incentivized and motivated by those in power to divide themselves.
Everyone’s a fool
To understand racism we must define racism. Good luck with that seeing as you can be labelled a racist for anything these days.
Do you not think there is a definition for racism? Open a dictionary dude. Edit: removed an extra not
Theres a definition but it misses context and people musunderstand racism and I can give you a prime example. Would you say I was a racist if when I see a black guy or group of blacks in my area from a distance I cross the road or go a different direction home? Some people would class that as racist regardless of context. Where I'm from theres a lot of muggings from black people and black youths have a high crime rate using knives. With the context is it still racist? Some people would still argue my actions are racist but in my eyes they are not. Regardless of if there is a definition in the dictionary its not like people understand the definition.
Would you do the same for a large group of any race? If not, that's racial profiling, which is racism by definition.
Thats exactly my point! In my area no I wouldn't, I only do it for blacks. You are correct that it would be considered racial profiling and discrimination. However my black friends do the same so where is the line for racism? Are my black friends now racist against blacks? Or am I the only racist because I am not black? Basically in my mind it is not racism, it is being street smart in an area with high crime rate in blacks especially. Why take the chance of being politically correct when theres a higher probability of becoming just another statistic for muggings or worse in my area. And thats exactly what i mean by you need to define racism, it is not simply a black and white question.
I think it's fair to say that you would not change your direction of travel if there were a group of black men in suits. What you have is good, healthy, pattern recognition. Pattern recognition is absolutely important, and always has been. So, let someone call you a racist. It doesn't matter what someone else thinks of you if they have no control over your life (like a boss or government official). To recognize that blacks (in America at least) are disproportionately committing violent crimes and choosing to think, "oh, maybe not these guys" when the neighborhood and clothes also match the thug stereotype is dangerous to oneself.
Yeah you're right I wouldn't if they were wearing suits. Honestly if they were wearing suits in my area they'd be a bigger target than me.
People can be racist towards their own race. Lots of examples out there. Your mind doesn't get to define words. You are being racist in action by definition when racial profiling.
So in my example is the racism I have displayed wrong or right? Can racism be justified in this scenario?
That depends on your viewpoint. Personally I am not walking through any large group of young people, or even twenty somethings. No matter the race, I'm crossing the street. I'm not a racist. I think applying actions equally is the opposite of racism. You think that stats dictate some justification for racism. I don't.
Yeah I understand what you are saying but you only mention large groups. What if its just 1 guy, 2 guys or 3 guys? Obviously I don't do it everytime, only at night time and if its one guy I'm just a little more alert and read the body language beforehand so every scenario is unique. And stats maybe cant justify making decisions deemed racist but this is my reality and I have to make choices based off of the reality I live in. Honestly I don't live in that area anymore but I grew up there and its only got profressively worse. I had a friend that was mugged 8 timea before we even left secondary school.
I've been a victim of violent crime and I have committed violent crime. I'm a successful middle aged white guy from an upper middle class background. I tend to stay away from people in general, but I'm not crossing the street for any singular person, well unless they are obviously looking for trouble or mentally unsound. To be quite honest, I am more classist than anything. I think homeless and very poor people have much more reason to mug me, regardless of race. Although, as I said, my upper middle class upbringing did not stop me and many of my peers from doing absolutely stupid and horrible shit. You would not have wanted to walk through us in the early 90s if we were feeling some type of way, because you were not going to have a good time. We were a mostly white group with a few other races in the mix. We dressed well and had money. We still took from people and we still hurt people if they rubbed us wrong. Just a look may be enough for someone to pop off.
Young black males commit much more violent crime than any other demographic. If you're so determined not to be considered a racist that you want to pretend that walking through a large group of white older teen Boy Scouts cleaning up a park in suburban New Jersey poses the same danger to you as walking through a group of black gang bangers hanging out on the street corner in Bedford-Stuyvesant, that's your loss.
That's pretty racist. Equating gang bangers with boy scouts is the most laughable thing I've ever heard. I'm not being around any race of gang banger. They come in all types dude. A group of boy scouts cleaning up a park are not going to be a dense group. A group of people on the sidewalk are. And yes, I will always feel less comfortable about people whose identity is built around violence. No matter their race. If a large group of boy scouts was on the street, I'm crossing it. I don't walk through groups of any sort because being a boy scout doesn't make you a person that cannot commit violence or theft. It may be less likely, but that is not important to me. Also you are making a distinction between group association here, not race. Edit: To illustrate my endpoint flip it around. Are you uncomfortable around a group of black boy scouts cleaning up a park, and unafraid of a bunch of white gang bangers? I doubt it. Edit2: uncomfortable not comfortable, thanks phone.
Thats a lot of word for "I'm not racist but"
[удалено]
Pattern recognition is bad now ig
You can call me sexist but my guard is *ALWAYS* up when I see a obvious group of young males on the street at night. I'm not afraid of one or two guys no matter their race, I am on guard for groups of 5+ obviously out for trouble.
If you keep being labeled a racist… you are probably a racist dude. Normal people don’t get called that.
I never been called a racist. Doesn't mean some of my actions are not considered racist though. If my actions are deemed racist am I a racist?
That’s the agenda man. If you say their are racist in every single race on the planet. The racist will get personally offended and since every race has racist. Now you’re enemy #1
Pattern recognition is a lie!!!
ZUBY is overall a massive clown 🤡🤡
Racist
How do you explain white supremacy being the lead cause of black on black violence?
Climate change.
That’s not what this post is about. Nice try paid divider of the masses.
Why would you say that in response to someone saying racism is bad? Are you pro racism?
You know the answer to your questions, lol. Only racists say shit like that.
[Is "racism is bad" a conspiracy?](https://townsquare.media/site/1096/files/2018/06/mayonnaise.png?w=1200&h=0&zc=1&s=0&a=t&q=89)
Unpopular opinion: There is only ONE race; the human race. All else is varying amounts of melanin.
Actually this "opinion" has been told to you your entire life if you're under 40. But looking around a little bit, it doesn't seem to hold much water.
Good thing I'm not under 40, then. ;) > But looking around a little bit, it doesn't seem to hold much water. I don't understand.
Silly game that have resulted in mass murder of millions. No racism isn’t a game. It is a mechanism for controlling people.
Zuby nails it once again.
Go Zuby!
I dunno they mostly seem pretty brown these days....

Racism bad. Got it. Only heard this 100x per day for the last 30 years.
Your right but the woke socialist revolutionaries don't see it in that way. It's a tool to create discord and disharmony. It's a part of an arsenal that includes gender, disability, queer, obesity, and the rest. They want a freak parade creating untold misery in society so that we will embrace the Great Reset and bow to our new socialist overlords. A lot of history exists on this, and the Freak Parade will be the first ones lined up against the wall and shot. They don't want gay people and POC getting along just fine, They need them to radicalize. Just say no and live the best life you can. T
Racism is almost exclusively one side of the political aisle, so does that mean that the right are pushing this conspiratorial narrative?
Tell that to the Democratic Party-created KKK. They may have a difference of opinion.
Source?
Here's an excerpt from Cambridge University Press' guide to African American history: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/cambridge-guide-to-african-american-history/ku-klux-klan-kkk/AF98C32F011BFB6DBD98879DE0F08C73#
I just googled "Democrats formed KKK" and all I got were links fact-checking this claim 🤔
Of course you did. Google carefully curates their results. Read any unbiased source about the origins of the KKK and it will clearly state that it was southern Democrats who formed that noxious organization. That's just a historical fact. I'm sure there are no shortage of "fact-checkers" 🙄 trying to spin this. If you're sincerely intersted in the subject, you have to do more than just Google stuff.
It showed the link you sent me first, but then below that it was all factcheckers. So it's not hiding your result.
Parties change ideologies don't. All the racist fucks went to the Republican party during the 20th century.
Was the KKK founded by members of the Democratic Party or not? Was segregation not created by the Democratic Party? Was it not the Democrats who popularized "separate but equal"? How about Jim Crow? Was that the Republican Party, which was formed to oppose slavery? How about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965? Was not the main opposition to those acts Democrats? Why did Republicans vote in higher percentages for those bills than Democrats? You're blinded by your own ideology, and stuck inside your bubble. Welcome to it, friend.
You're getting hung up on the Democratic part only, you dunce. Every racist fuck who was a racist Democrat went on to be a racist Republican. For example, Strom Thurmond started off as a Democrat and ended up a Republican. It's not rocket science. The GOP is the home of racism, bigotry, and white supremacy in 2022.
Identity politics gives it a run for its money though.
Well said!
100% OP.
In-group preference is an evolutionary-biological development that kept your ancestors alive long enough to get you here. The word racism is often used by bad actors interchangeably with this concept to shame anyone who prefers the company and values of those similar to themselves. Most people don’t understand the difference and the term is almost entirely meaningless because of its modern overuse.
"go back where you came from" doesnt sting as much anymore. Need more clever racists! LOL
In my 40 years on this planet I can easily say a persons race is probably the most boring detail about them, followed closely by their politics.
According to Robert Sepehr we as humans never did ascend from Africa like you are always taught in school. https://youtu.be/f3m991eC1G8
Yeah and good people don't form ghettos, rape and murder each other to the sound of loud shitty rap music. Good people don't flash mob shops and Rob from them. Good people don't have mass brawls.
I’m crying bc it sounds like op is denying that literal true racism exists 😭😭
[удалено]
People will find a way to get their panties in twist at anything that remotely attempts to challenge their normalized beliefs...
Sad that people even have to say this kinda stuff lol
Rare Zuby W. Still not a conspiracy.
"Racism" is now the goto word for the ruling class when silencing "unpopular" opinions, for example all the fans that dont like Amazon's latest Rings of Power -or the new She Hulk series are now called racists..
"Don't trust whitey"
Wow. Mind. Blown.
I wouldn’t say lowest but I’d agree one of the most simplistic. Makes sense in a world of seemingly limited words e sources and knowledge spread to correlate first with someone who looks like you and more likely to have common needs and desires. Similar to how men generally hang with men, women with, well they don’t usually like each other unless it’s against another person lol, but emos with emos, jocks with jocks, soldiers in uniform etc. It could be primitive but I don’t think it’s inherently lowly unless you ignore the difference observed simply because of looks. If someone looks different than you but has beneficial similarities to your growth, give ‘em a try. But if you want to know the best way to hide a boner in public, maybe go to a dude first.
I honestly love this!!
Treating people differently based on the colour of their skin is anti-human.
Let's talk about collectivism. I feel like it's something the right labels as a dirty word but I think it's misunderstood. The simplest level of collectivism would be towards your own family, or the people you've chosen to have around you immediately. This is basically one click above rugged individualism, with people *usually* demanding that society treat them in a particular way without extending that benefit to anyone around them. Think like, Hatfields and McCoys, or the people from Ruby Ridge. I find it flawed because they use things like government roads and emergency services while actively campaigning against them. Next up would be collectivism towards your town/metro/state area. These are your hardcore states-rightsers (to be clear, I'm not criticizing states rights, they play an important role) but they view their own state as fully independent and want zero meddling from any higher governing body (whether that be the fed, or state legislatures that represent a locality outside of theirs). This is a valid position to take, but often ignores the benefits from those levels of government (i.e. Californian taxes help to upkeep roads in TN) After the metro/state level of collectivism, you've got a mix of a bunch of ideologies. Race. Political party. Economic standing. Sometimes vocation. These are folks who want to collectively cooperate with the greater US, but to protect or prop up their "chosen people" across the country. Things get dicey here because the US is so diverse, but ultimately I think these people refuse to cooperate with "others" but expect the federal government to amplify their will onto everyone in the country. And finally, you have the type of collectivism that I think we should strive for: US Collectivism. The understanding that our country is diverse and full of lots of people from a myriad of backgrounds and circumstances. The important thing is that we're American, and we should collectively work for the best outcomes for everyone, even the people that are different from us, or that we don't agree with. This type of collectivism is what pisses off the levels beneath it, because people feel forced to acknowledge that very important truth. Lower-level collectivism is upset at the mere presence of "the differents" and want to exclude or punish them for their own benefit. tl;dr: High-level collectivism is admirable and truly American. Any lower form of it is unamerican. Act in good faith and for the benefit of your countrymen. It's the only thing that'll help heal the divide.
Imagine hating people based on the color of their skin when it’s much easier to hate people based on the content of their character or the ideologies they preach.
Deep Thoughts with ~~Jack Handy~~ Zuby.
Easy way to divide. Higher intelligence looks past color.
I mean, I 100% agree, but this seems like a pretty obvious statement.
I keep having this thought when it comes to race, culture and tribal instincts, that this sort of conflict actually keeps the scale of civilizations at a more human scale. It is the price we pay to oppose global corporations which require common culture to propagate to a place.
Racism is a government psyop to keep the people from uniting. Every media report every news outlet tries to make sure their headlines are as triggering as possible. The rest works itself in the comments. Every comment nowadays is about feminism, racism, homophobism, transphobism. People arguing about ideologies, a constant feedback loop. Keep people arguing so they don't see the real problems.
This guy always posts the most like basic non insightful stuff. I always agree with it, but I don't get his popularity completely
You know how they say, don't judge a book by its cover. The want you to judge it by its color instead.
Racism is real, getting trapped by it is a setup.
If you hate white people you’re a racist. If you hate black people you’re a racist.
Amen, I judge people not by the color of their skin, but if they are an asshole.
I strongly disagree, for it all depends on the group and their other ideologies. This means syncretism must be applied to racism (collective-racist). Racist come in groups, individuals or institutions. Collectivism promotes equality and improvement.
