    Google employee fired 4 objections to PC culture Inquisition

    If your takeaway from this is to argue about whether or not he should've been fired, you're missing the point. That question is largely a distraction. Read his memo in full: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3914586/Googles-Ideological-Echo-Chamber.pdf This guy fully bought into...

    Evolution of Hip Hop Drug Songs | Crank Lucas Video

    The black community in this regard was doing better in the 50s than they are doing now. Drugs, violence, and crime were far less of a problem than they are today. http://www.pennlive.com/opinion/2015/05/poor_blacks_looking_for_someon.html Sowell here is placing heavy blame on the welfare...

    Evolution of Hip Hop Drug Songs | Crank Lucas Video

    I've caught a lot of slack around here for suggesting that the way rap functions today is an overall net negative on the community. I want to use this video among others as a jumping off point for a discussion on the significance of music and other aspects of culture on performance. Thomas...

    Riots in Milwaukee after Officer Involved Shooting

    + Repped. Preach fam. But I never said it was a root cause. My point is that, as it functions now in the culture, it's problematic when trying to envision a better future.

    Riots in Milwaukee after Officer Involved Shooting

    I'm familiar with the 3 strike policy. In many cases our domestic laws produce unjust outcomes as well. It's terrible I agree, but these cases in the context of prison reform and overpopulation are a drop in the bucket fam. History is ripe with examples of injustice Hand2HandKing. Can't move...

    Riots in Milwaukee after Officer Involved Shooting

    Root cause or reaction, it doesn't matter. You think the NWA made that song with purely altruistic intentions? Be real man. A culture that venerates drug dealers and thugs and vilifies police will stand in opposition to things getting better between the black community and the police. Not...

    Riots in Milwaukee after Officer Involved Shooting

    The thing about prison reform is that it's way more messy than most understand. It's very typical to hear people say something like "we need to legalize drugs" to solve the prison problem, when that's really only a small piece of the pie. Any serious discussion about reducing prison population...

    Riots in Milwaukee after Officer Involved Shooting

    Rap and gang culture contributes to the hostility we see between the black community and the police. Is that really so controversial a statement? F the police came out in '88 and it's one of, if not the only phrase that remains in the rap lexicon from nearly 30 years ago.

    Riots in Milwaukee after Officer Involved Shooting

    I agree wholeheartedly. But that's one end of the spectrum that contributed to our current climate. The other end is a rap and gang culture that raises up drug peddlers and gangsters that proudly say F the police and vilifies "snitches."

    Riots in Milwaukee after Officer Involved Shooting

    Black people who riot are dancing to the tunes of the elite liberal progressive whites and their media outlets. Blatant example of media bias :rollin

    Riots in Milwaukee after Officer Involved Shooting

    What??? :eek Been a while since I've seen such an exercise in denial. Read our back and forth once more over. And then you follow that up with such asinine things like taking exception to the police policing?? You need to visit a country where the police institution really is just a bunch...

    Riots in Milwaukee after Officer Involved Shooting

    Did I, or did you? I took your statements to their logical conclusion. The alternative to trying to rationally arrive at a conclusion as to who was right and who was wrong is to blindly accept whatever the media hype machine feeds you.

    Riots in Milwaukee after Officer Involved Shooting

    You just assume the police are always wrong? When you stop using your mind to think and rationally arrive at your own conclusions and assume that the media hype machine is right and delivers you info with pure genuine intentions, you can be sure you're being manipulated. Of course unity is...

    Riots in Milwaukee after Officer Involved Shooting

    By this logic the police can never be justified in their use of lethal force against black people.

    The Ninjahood Thread [Formerly the White Fragility Thread]

    They aren't mutually exclusive, but the latter often works against the former. When minority youth face adversity academically or economically, it's a strong temptation to justify giving up with why bother trying [and risk failure] if the system is rigged and it's just going to hold me down...
