Equality.

You might lie more than Trump.

Continue. What is interesting about it. I find it interesting that a white dude like yourself ignores the rampant stories, examples, and data that support white people are discriminated more than "a little." That is fact. It doesn't need to be dismissed or diminished by trying to squash it in comparison to historic discrimination against other races.

No, that is not systemic racism. Data is not racist. Patterns observation is not racist. The data indicates that a group of people have a higher rate of crime than other groups. If you meet a stranger from the higher crime group and have no other information about that person, you rationally guess there is higher probably that crime might occur. This is a statistical bias. It is nothing like saying I dislike all people from that group, or 'they are inferior.' You still treat them as individuals when you learn more about them. The bias (statistical tilt) only affects the starting assumption when info is limited. Look up the word bias ... it isn't just prejudice. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bias. Look up the definition of systemic racism. The shoe does not fit. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/systemic racism Feel free to disagree but you must redefine words and cheat context to refute...

Yes, and irrelevant. The consequence for deliberate murder should be death and others deterrence is irrelevant.

Calling my post an “admission” that “systemic racism against Blacks is still an issue” and “worse than anything whites face” is a straw-man. I listed multiple larger, observable factors (time of day, vehicle condition, driving behavior, clothing, demeanor, etc.) that any study has to control for before concluding race is the primary driver. You largely ignored those points. Group differences in outcomes (crime involvement, family structure, poverty) are real and well-documented. Treating every such difference as proof of “structural racism against Blacks” or “White privilege” is wrong think.

Everyone has this wrong. Mental illness is irrelevant and the response should be an expedited, cheap death sentence.

The variables are not controlled to give an answer. Bias is a suggestion and not evidence of causation. My parents gave me a curfew and said nothing good comes after dark. It is reasonable that a different set of cops apply that enforcement motto after dark. You have different cops. Different amount and race of drivers. Different vehicles. Different behaviors. Etc. and so on.

What law, rule, or policy says that blacks should be pulled over more than other races? It's illegal to pull someone over due to their race alone. Without details of the study, I expect that the location, time of day, vehicle (make/model/color/age/condition), driving behavior, body language, music, and clothes have a significant factor in the mix. It isn't "just race." Similar to how life outcomes equalize given factors outside of race, I bet the same is true here. Highly wager rounding error to zero that nobody is getting pulled over solely because they are black. I'm not dismissing bias... there will always be bias. That data indicating that blacks as a group commit a higher crime rate is cause for bias... I am biased against certain dogs because of their temperment rather than their fur color. I'm biased against people that sing along with violent rap songs because I disagree with their morals. A well-dressed, affluent black man who is behaving normally is low risk. A hard-looking, dirty dressed white man who is scanning the crowd, prolonging eye contact, and walking purposefully toward me is scary. It is doubtful that Stanford could control for the needed factors that go into pulling people over. One question is what percentage of race is on the road at different times, such as early morning... during 8-5 business hours... at family dinner time... after dark... etc.? How might that difference in driving schedules impact the percentage of who is pulled over? All the study does is raise a signal for further vetting before drawing any conclusion. Though I'd say the family factor is the biggest difference maker of outcomes.

Go ahead and put your thoughts and examples to words. What law, rule, or policy discriminates the black race today? It is wrong headed to attribute outcomes on historic structural racism while the outcomes largely equalize when factoring family structure, crime rate, test scores, culture, and behavior.

White race-conscious exclusion today IS NOT white privilege. Please explain how white privilege is white men dropping from ~48% of lower-level TV writers (2011) to ~11.9% (2024). And please explain the white privilege of explicit exclusion (“enough white guys already” as a given even when white men were a large share of applicants). Discrimination of the past does not make it okay to discriminate today.

Is this true? It seems true. I'm not doing well in each area. If one string is off, is your life out of tune? What do you think about it? Eric Church delivered a musical commencement address at UNC-Chapel Hill on May 9, 2026, using his guitar’s six strings as life pillars: Low E (Faith): foundational belief about life’s purpose. Everything depends on this as a base line. A (Family): Gives warmth. Spend time with your family everyday. Everyday commitment to protect, not a holiday obligation. D (Partner/Spouse): Gives the guitar soul. Emotional heart where shared bonds are tested. The most important position. Amplify or pull you apart. Choose wisely and love fiercely. G (Ambition & Resilience): You should want things. Say it out loud. Apply drive, vision, and stamina through hard seasons. Get back up when you fail and keep playing. B (Community/Friends): Build the thing your community needs even if the internet will never see it. Favor local roots and real presence over an anonymous online performance. High E (Individuality): the unique contribution only you can make. The world needs an original, not a cover.

Understand what you are saying but people supporting the mandate was not surprising. Trusted sources lied. 27% is remarkably high in this context.

Recalls for everything but their awful 10 speed transmissions that cost $9K to replace. How to MFGA?

Two hours watching a guy walk through yellow rooms.

Yes there is nuance, but what do you make of those numbers? They are remarkable and unique amongst other groups.

80%+ of black voters favoring dems is extreme

Cannot believe what this article says about the discrimination in journalism. “For a typical job we’d get a couple hundred applications, probably at least 80 from white guys,” the hiring editor recalled. “It was a given that we weren’t gonna hire the best person… It was jarring how we would talk about excluding white guys.” The pipeline hadn’t changed much: white men were still nearly half the applicants, but they were now filling closer to 10 percent of open positions. https://www.compactmag.com/article/the-lost-generation/ I've witnessed quota influence first hand in three large corporations. Don't forget the legal cases with universities. I found the effects of DEI’s forced representation surprisingly extreme and discriminatory against white males. Far less surprising is the scarcity of white male preachers in black churches.

Stupendously high! 27% of Black participants responded that blacks cannot be racist. --------- Rasmussen - National Survey of 1,000 American Adults Conducted February 13-15, 2023 1* Do you agree or disagree with this statement: “It’s OK to be white.” 2* Do you agree or disagree with this statement: “Black people can be racist, too.” NOTE: Margin of Sampling Error, +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence

It’s also telling when people who are not white, Christian, or male insist that those groups face little or no discrimination. Everyone discriminates. Human Psychology 101.

Shane. LMBO. Crude.

The point is that lifting burns off stress, the kind that drives one to dopamine out by trolling. Inspired by Hemmingway's iceberg method used in the "Old Man and the Sea." Not a poem. The above pieces are mine.

Brought the family to the Iowa State Fair while passing through. "Not that night" said my friend later. "We stay home on East Side night." WTF. Never again. Reckless night for 15+ years.

His skin flashed red. His eyes rolled. He did not know the iron was waiting. The bar cold and heavy. One clean lift would have broken his keyboard's fury.
