US blacks make up: ~13% of the population ~70% of NFL players ~80% of NBA players <4% of doctorates in CS ~1% of doctorates in physics ~3% of doctorates in maths Which of these disproportionate outcomes are the result of talent issues, & which are the result of systemic racism?
@ImmuneHack Less than 2% of heavy metal guitarists are black. Is this due to lack of Talent OR systemic racism? ...And of course, interest is the obvious third option.
@FightingFitzman @ImmuneHack Everything is racism, so therefore no measure of personal responsibility is ever even considered…and if discussed is immediately declared further evidence of racism. Just ask the Chicago Mayor.
@nomlastew @FightingFitzman @ImmuneHack What is caused by racism, in your opinion? After hundreds of years of oppressive policies to disenfranchise and entrench certain people in economic inequality, what is now the overwhelming fault of the victim? Tell me.
@_bonjourno_ @nomlastew @FightingFitzman @ImmuneHack Because the guys voting to marginalize and disenfranchise Black people are who they should join? Tell me more.
@nomamao @_bonjourno_ @nomlastew @FightingFitzman @ImmuneHack They shouldn't join either one. Take responsibility for ones own community; be ACTIVE in the creation/operation of their local systems. People are free to build any system they feel is needed for their benefit. Fix whats broke, stop waiting on those who broke it to fix it for you
