He might choose to see himself as an individual rather than as a member of a racial group, if the identity-politics crowd will stop beating it into him.

I’ve been telling ppl Chinese have been interacially marrying in the 1800s before 1960s New School Frankurt Critical Theorist intelligentsias pushing egalitarianism to divide everyone and grab power with political rhetoric so that the feminist white females are ontop of the heiarachy! It’s a race to the bottom because leftism causes state dependency and destruction of conservative family values.

None of this liberal nonsense in the 1800s Carribean. This is probably why talking to an Islander is way easier than a Jewish American Princess SJW who wants to assert policized opinions because her muhhh matriarchy is always in threat from xyz white supremacy while she gathers up the minority demographics as puppet voters just how white celebrity libs adopt African/Asian babies to virtue signal.

https://youtu.be/Elntt5wyN9g

Anyways, rant over, for Chinese dudes to marry-out, its a reflection of true romantic love. Unlike Jewish princess libs who their Jew guys admit that they are the biggest freaks getting jiggy around a lot. Makes sense because they hold the supposed matriarchal-matrilineal power through lineage. The thing about China is that they aren’t bitter about losing with the Century of Humiliation. They willingly immigrated to the AFTER the Anglo-Sino Opium Wars to work alongside with a Black slaves in Cuba. But the libs have weaponized the status quo and white male apex heiarachy with minorities.

Everyone is lost now as to what to do with empty protests in America as the economic engine runs out. Meanwhile China continues to censor against leftism enacted by Jew libs to grab power and continues to instill Confucianism conservative hard-work values. Keep working y’all. The libs in America who can’t recignize your conservative hard work is not because of your faults, it’s because they’re brain-washed to think everything is an issue. Black people were successful in the past with traditional nuclear families with conservatism. The lib blacks are on Facebook pandering to broke bitch SJW activism.

did you happen to read Jason Riley's book Please Stop Helping Us. I found it quite thought provoking. There's a fair amount of opposing opinions on it's validity, but it's good to have conversations like this.

Thomas Sowel was quote as saying:
>Pick up a copy and open pages at random to see how the author annihilates nonsense."

Orlando Patterson quoted with ( on one specific chapter) :
>thoroughly misinformed [which] not only trots out the usual inaccuracies about hip hop's influence but, failing to recognize the diversity of African-American cultures, proceeds to libel the entire group

Worth a read either way, even if just to broaden horizons a bit.

Man I really want to upvote you because I think you’re not entirely wrong but this study is not about the crimes it’s about the victims of the crimes. I’ll grant you that systemic racism ABSOLUTELY exists. I’ll grant you that your overall point about poverty and crime are absolutely linked and that crime statistics are skewed due to targeting and higher conviction rates against people of color. The fact that the average black or hispanic family income is lower than that of average white families is absolutely true, and due to an obvious visible clue that they may be part of a poorer demographic leads to them being targeted by LE. This then leads to a victim mentality and an aggression and disdain for LE particularly in minority communities. In order to have an honest conversation about this though, it is worth noting that the crimes are indeed being committed. Whether or not that’s at a higher rate of perpetration by minorities or whites below the poverty line is definitely debatable.

My best friend is a black male and though he is well spoken, drives a very nice vehicle and was raised in a wealthier community, he still receives some significant attention from police. He will be the first to say, that while he knows that he is going to be targeted for his skin color, he also just doesn’t commit the crimes or run in circles with those that do. There is a problem, a massive one, and I think it starts at very high level of government. The war on drugs and private prisons has created a slave trade of sorts. Not to mention Jim Crow laws or the CIA’s involvement in the large scale moving of crack, into poor Black communities. While legal markets and businesses tend to require significant capital for startup while black market businesses entail massive other risks they don’t require bank approval, venture capital or credit checks. When you’re surrounded by an underworld and criminal element, joining a gang for protection or camaraderie becomes a way of life. Seeing value in education becomes difficult and the vicious circle continues. Add that to an exploitable welfare system and culture that glorifies living on it (ex. First of the Month) and you can start to see why these issues are perpetual.

There is most definitely a systemic racism problem at the root of these issues and boiling it down to skin color is pure ignorance. However, POC have not done themselves any favors by creating a culture that glorifies violence sex and drug trade. To ignore the systemic issues is just as ignorant as ignoring their own involvement. There’s an excellent book by Jason Riley titled Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed. I recommend it as it sheds light on some of the results of programs intended to help poor minorities that have ultimately failed. In this thread there’s lots of boiling it down to skin color which isn’t fair, but is at a glance accurate. If you were an alien coming down to earth knowing nothing of the systems or history you would probably determine that the darker skinned humans have a propensity towards violence or poverty. I appreciate the effort in attempting to correct the thinking of some in this thread that have over simplified the issue. However, to not acknowledge the cultural issues that run deep in black communities isn’t taking an honest look at the issue either. In order to change things there should be an honest objective look at the issue from all sides and that includes harshly evaluating the fact that violence and crime is glorified in hip hop culture which is by and large aimed at POC.

TL;DR: siting a victim study isn’t good representation of the issue at hand, though conviction data is unreliable due to a myriad of issues. There are underlying problems that are more prevalent in POC communities.

>this has the be the STUPIDEST thing I have EVER heard.

Then you haven't been listening to the liberals very much.

You see reality backwards. Let Jason Riley help you out:



Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for ...


📷https://www.amazon.com/Please-Stop-Helping-Us-Liberals/dp/1594038414In Please Stop Helping Us, Jason L. Riley examines how well-intentioned welfare programs are in fact holding black Americans back. Minimum-wage laws may lift earnings for people who are already employed, but they price a disproportionate number of blacks out of the labor force.

Considering the Cayman Islands are technically under British rule/oversight as a territory and that the vast majority of it's "success" is money laundering, tax evasion, international ship registrations for various illicit and unethical reasons, ... no, not really.

I know some of the fools out there want to smear me as a racist in typical fashion, but reality is that I would love nothing more than a successful, flourishing, developed black country to emerge as example and inspiration to others. I personally believe that it is precisely the "help" white liberal bleeding hearts with guilt complexes provide that is actually sabotaging the vast majority of them. Time after time and ever increasingly it is being revealed that all the "assistance" programs by bleeding hearts did nothing more than further poison and deconstruct and sabotage black countries and societies to prevent them from going through the various requisite phases of development. It's sad really how liberals simply cannot comprehend that their bleeding hear "help" is actually the cause of the vast majority of the very problems they lament. It's like they don't understand that the coddling and babying they want to provide does far more damage than teaching some hard life lessons and letting them figure things our for themselves would do. Everywhere you go, there is a trail of devastation through "development economics" and the aid industry. The emerging markets that are doing the best are the ones who have separated themselves the longest from the "help".

There's an interesting book called Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make it Harder for Blacks to Succeed that has a strong corollary. But no, whites need to stick their noses in shit they have no business sticking their noses in because they feel they know better, especially because they mean well, of course.

>do you care when blacks who aren't criminals, or for that matter whites who aren't criminals, get shot by govt employees? Do you feel that this is acceptable collateral damage, or do you take issue with extrajudicial killings?

Of course I care, it should be clear from what I wrote. If they are not criminals and comply with orders and are not a threat they should not be shot. The thing people tend to overlook when they cry crocodile tears about black people being shot by even black cops, is that there is a rational, justifiable reason why cops are far more nervous about interactions with blacks than non-blacks, and it has to do with the fact that they commit multiple times the chimers of any other group. When was the last time an asian was shot by a cop?

>And what's your stance on ticket quotas and privacy shredding via stingray devices and ALPR's, are you okay surrendering select constitutional protections for a period of time solely at the authorities discretion? I see the logic behind a good deal of what your saying, but I think you're careening down the slippery slope of authoritarian radicalism. Really, the same brand that "liberal millennials" use to argue for increased censorship to protect their feelings.

Ticket quotas are unjust and the best way to solve that problem is to separate the powers, remove any and all fine, ticket, fee revenues from local coffers; remove the incentive to abuse power to fund your abuse of power. If you have a warrant, I don't see anything wrong with Stingray's use for devices tied to specific people and their direct connections, while also auto-immunity for anything other than major felonies not directly related to the warrant. ALPRs are not really unconstitutional and really just require some tightening of their use, maybe, again, only to be used for major felonies and major violations; because it will and is opening up the channel for the same kinds of abuse as ticketing where the financial incentive to abuse power funds the abuse of power.

>Liberals say "yea some speech isn't bad, but if it may hurt my precious feels, or someones precious feels, it needs to be banned".

>I suspect your saying, if you aren't please let me know. "Yea, government kills some innocent people, they shred our rights on occassion, sucks for the innocent ones killed, and all of our Constitutional protections, but better safe than sorry".

Ultimately, there are no cases that come to mind where the government killed people that did not have it coming whether due to foolishness or criminality. No person was ever shot where the person did nothing and complied with orders. The only case that comes to mind is the one where the cop asked for the guy's license and then when the guy went for it he shot him, and he was prosecuted. Where people were killed unjustifiably, it became a criminal charge against officers and officers are well aware that you simply do not want to find yourself in a prison as an ex cop, which is quite the motivator for may.

The problem is though, as with many of our problems, that the very people who claim to want to "help" are really just either creating, complicating, or making things worse with their "help". Take BLM and the cyst of making excuses that they are ... making excuses for why black people and black communities don't deserve to have the same standards and expectations as all other communities, is harming those very communities in so many different ways. It is even quite racist to essentially say "we know you blacks can't live by the same laws and rules and consequences, so we will have special rules and laws for you. Now get over here and let your liberal mommy coddle you."

What really needs to happen is that the black community is held to the same standards and is ridiculed for not being able or willing to, not celebrated and have excuses made for it. Society, if it really wanted to help black communities, it would band together in an intervention and say those behaviors are not accepted and crack down on them hard precisely to break the cycle that liberals keep wanting to perpetuate that causes nothing but suffering and misery. Coddling and enabling a person in a bad situation or addiction does nothing but damage, making excuses for someone with a problem does nothing but make the problem fester and worse with every single passing day. The same thing applies to black communities (or any crime infested community for that matter) that are terrorized and infested with crime and criminal behavior and culture. The very last thing the black community needed, was some self-loathing, white-guilt, bleeding heart, busy-body white people making excuses for criminals and validating criminality in order to make themselves feel better about themselves. Because that is what it's all about really, white people that have been guilted and psychologically abused that they are trying to make themselves feel better. When in realty it is just indulging and enabling the problem and addiction ever more. It's like grandma that has been so psychologically abused and blamed for all the problems that she keeps giving in to her granddaughter and feeds her addiction and makes excuses about how she is really helping her and makes herself feel better by paying to keep her stable as long as she can in an inherently unsustainable manner.

I'm not surprised people took negatively to Jason Riley's book, "Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed". I'm only surprised it was an Indian. I remember reading "Our Black Year" by Maggie Anderson of the Empowerment Experiment and she included a transcript of a radio interview she did in Chicago. There were callers who hadn't read her book that were immediately angered with their understanding of what she was proposing. As Elvis once sang, "Well a hard headed woman, a softhearted man, been the cause of trouble since the world began." And unfortunately, there is no group of people who fit that to a tee better than liberals.

Progressives are the sort of people who obsessively call other people racist right after they imply black Americans are too stupid, poor and lazy to get voter ID like everyone else in America. Racists here, racists there, racists everywhere. Racist, racist, racist.
