If one accepts that racism can exist against the majority race… then DEI is codified racism… supported by one form of liberals

Speech is free but do you have data that supports it?

I haven’t seen or read news about people saying that, but a little research does pull up examples. I can’t not see people celebrating Kirk’s death. It’s multiple places, multiple times a day. My sophomores classmates, facebook, twitter, news…

Did they say the majority of blacks are violent OR did they say blacks are more violent than other races? The fed data makes it clear that blacks are overwhelmingly not violent while also being more violent than other races. But that’s just federal data facts. Not racist but it is uncomfortable.

of course not per fed data. it’s a small fraction of the black population.

I read up that the latest is that there was not a second shooter with Thomas Crooks. The last I had heard before was potentially misinformation that there was a second more professional shooter.

Nice to see you using your own thinking powers. What you have here is a logical fallacy. I'd say this is a indeterminate stereotype because to say a group does not like wrestling implies that they dislike wrestling when they most likely are indifferent or oblivious to it. Like handball. I don't even know if its a sport played in high school. I don't like or dislike it.

I like the nuance. Let's continue. @BerniePragle Why does ChatGPT pair individual efforts with collective crutches? Who decides what are fair conditions? This attempts to a soften leftist flaws while implying conservative views are harsh. A conservative gives consideration to what ChatGPT says but the balance in the details makes a difference.

OMG AI is so biased and bigoted. /s

I do not know if we will learn who unalived Kirk at this point. I won't believe it. What's the scoop behind the would-be Trump assassins? The second shooter (ear)? Did we ever get their backstory, motivations, and so on? What became of them? Are they still breathing?

Your assumption that I would think all leftists are the same makes an ass out of you. Your current inability to have a conversation about groups without getting caught up about individuals is thankfully correctable.

Your response only refers to the dangers. Sure, let's ask AI Are stereotypes factually wrong? Why are stereotypes good? How does one determine if a stereotype is accurate? If our stereotypes were always factually wrong (e.g. tiger temperament), we humans would be dead. Our survival alone is self-evident that stereotypes can have their benefits. Psychology Today had an article claiming the displeasing truth that stereotypes are often accurate (link). It refers to other articles with empirical evidence of accuracy, some of which talk about the wrong education out there about assumed inaccuracies. But what is accurate? How about 65%. Given the CDC recognizes 73.6% of adults age 20 and older are overweight, it is accurate to say that Americans are fat.

Actually yea... you could say 'programmers are introverts' and largely be correct. It is the use of 'all' that makes it a problem. You didn't see me use the word 'all' anywhere did you?

No, use data if you want to get consensus with others! I'll wait for the data indicating a high amount of conservatives are racist... it does not exist! But also yes, for your survival.

I've done the research into gun violence using Federal data and was surprised. The analysis and conclusion is my own in the first link below: https://intermatwrestle.com/forums/topic/3143-actual-conservative-policies-or-stances/#comment-100986 https://intermatwrestle.com/forums/topic/147-seriously-michigan/page/12/#comment-21698 The one finding that makes me scratch my head some is that most gun violence is through stolen hand guns. They guys committing the crimes don't have legal ownership. They are getting their guns from legal owners. So banning or heavily restricting legal hand guns reduces the guns available to be stolen. You are not going to ban hand guns so how to make it safer? Biometric smart gun technology becomes interesting because a thief cannot use the gun. You need the ability to have multiple bio people linkages (e.g. 10 cops can all fire the same gun). Except currently smart guns are easily hackable. At least a smart gun prevents a toddler from accidental use. The other problem with smart guns is that bio tech fails. Like the face recognition and fingerprint reader on my devices sometimes fail. If that was to fail when I needed it for defense, its a non starter. So we need better smarter guns and then I'd support hand gun regulations involving smart gun tech.

What discussion led you to believe one cannot push back? Unlike the accurate stereotypes, to say that conservatives are racist is a wrong and harmful one. If it was most conservatives, then you would be fine. But it is by far a minority of conservatives that are racist... so you are wrong.

Because "words are violent" to whomever finds it offensive.

Bluesky is so much better /s

That makes him American, not left or right.

Many stereo types are based on statistical reality, without care for how it makes you uncomfortable. Stereotypes are part of our biological need to survive. I may be stupid but it is naive to think we shouldn't use stereotypes or for anyone to claim they don't. We can be aware of them and try to recognize the dangers... but never go so far as to dismiss the good of them. Would you ask an old person in a wheel chair if they can grab the other side of that 200 pound sofa? Or a toddler for directions? There is a tiger, should I pet him? 20 young men showed up at closing time in the parking lot of this fair, wearing red and blue. Should I ask if they want to join me in hacky sack? Stereotypes are often accurate. Men are stronger than women Asians are good at math African Americans are less likely to have two parent households Jews are good with money Americans are fat Engineers are analytical Stereotypes are probabilistic sketches, not absolute rules. Understanding and using stereotypes is not automatically dehumanizing. But I'm stupid.

Please explain yourself. Are you still claiming that stereotypes are absolutely factually wrong? (rather than sometimes factually correct) And then making judgements based on that wrong understanding?

If one wanted to dramatically reduce gun violence, they would Execute a plan to increase the black father's presence in a two-parent family home. Heavily police the few blocks (hot spots) in major cities where gun violence predominantly occurs. Invest in smart gun technology that is reliable for the owner(s) in a time of need. (specifically hand guns) and then mandate the smart gun technology on new guns Somewhere after abortions, gangs, crimes, auto accidents, drugs, medical, drowning... one will eventually stumble onto the priority of school/church shootings. Why is there so much attention on the school shooting outlier in comparison to the other ridiculousness occurring at much higher rates? To Charlie's end... there isn't a gun restriction practical that would have prevented his assassination.

He also behaves like a conservative. Having a mix of ideas doesn't change stereotypes and generalizations.

He also behaves like a conservative. There is openness to have a mixed set of ideas and values.

Nice try. Conservatives support rules for order.
