Random Politics & Religion #00
When you guys solve racism can you present it to me in form of Powerpoint. I'd love to see it !
Asura.Floppyseconds said: » Yup, but whatcha gonna do? Be ever aware of my own biases and take every opportunity to visualize scenarios from a perspective other than my own. Outside of myself, there isn't much you can do. Most people just aren't willing to step outside themselves and try to see things from a different perspective.

Odin.Jassik said: » I'm aware of my racial biases and I actively try to keep them in check. It's really not that difficult. I managed to do it, it's called "not caring anymore." Odin.Jassik said: » Yeah, no, we're not talking about the rate crimes are committed, some groups are more likely to commit certain crimes. We're talking about the difference in how they are policed and prosecuted when they are committed at the same rate, like recreational drug use. Odin.Jassik said: » What bias do you think I'm referring to? I'm talking about things like short-term lenders, which are far more prolific in black neighborhoods than white ones. It is not racial-profiling, it is where their customers live at. Those businesses do not target only people of a specific race... Asura.Kingnobody said: » Josiahkf said: » The problem isn't racists, it's an institutionalized bias towards minoritys which puts them at a disadvantage that people deny exists. Case in Point: Obama. Pic of a black dude wading through waist deep water with a box on his shoulder reported as a looter. Pic of a white dude wading through waist deep water towing a bulging plastic bag behind him reported as foraging.

I tend to be biased towards white bread and not the darker brown bread does that make me racist ?

We're getting there. Give it 3-4 more generations.

You're living in the past man that racism happened 10 years ago ! fonewear said: » I tend to be biased towards white bread and not the darker brown bread does that make me racist ? No but it may give you beriberi if you switch to an all-rice diet and maintain your light-grain bias. Gotta get that thiamin, yo! We all know that God is racist why else would he send a hurricane to the poorest black parts of Alabama and Louisiana !

Asura.Kingnobody said: » Source or GTFO. I do recall the image(s) to which she's referring.  Edit: In fairness, not the same tag line writer on the two photos, so there's some wiggle room in there about whether it's racism or just the way one person worded it over another. But incidental or not, there it is. As someone who has written such things for the AP, however, I can tell you in writing taglines for such photos during a disaster such as that where everyone is struggling, I would think twice before saying an individual child wading in waste-deep water is "looting."

You can't get rid of biases, they're a product of your life experience. You can be aware of them and keep them in check. NY Time article Poor people with poor financial skills are their target customers. That's who they are targeting. There are just far more of them in poor black neighborhoods and far fewer traditional banks. They also advertise more heavily on Spanish language TV and hip-hop radio for example. I'm so biased that I don't even realize that I'm biased !
Asura.Kingnobody said: » So, two different articles by two different news sources proves what again? That biases exist.

The only way to be unbiased is to stop existing damn it !
I'm sure the non existence people would like that ! Asura.Kingnobody said: » So, two different articles by two different news sources proves what again? See my edit. Also, all I'm saying is I recall what she's talking about. Edit: both of you, for that matter! fonewear said: » The only way to be unbiased is to stop existing damn it ! I'm sure the non existence people would like that ! Be bias all day. You're right, you can't help your initial reaction to a circumstance because of your upbringing and life experiences. Just be aware of it and try not to do anyone else wrong because of it. Asura.Floppyseconds said: » You must be bored then :P Is there any other reason to be posting here? Anyways there is important politcal news today Donald Trump's hair is real !

You can be aware of them and keep them in check. But I'm racist because you think that people cannot get rid of racial biases. Because you didn't try. Got it.

Odin.Jassik said: » Racism isn't just the words that are used, it's the disparities in our legal system, the way body language is interpreted, even financial institutions. Asura.Floppyseconds said: » My free time comes in spurts, but I do a lot of community service work, and I see this stuff first hand.
