Private citizen making a decision based on race? = awful, leads to more killers, ignorant, evil

Fderal, state government making a decsion based on race? = necessary for the survival of said race, thanks to that private citizen

All I’m actually saying is that both involve ignoring the merit of a candidate in favor of their genetic traits. But you insisted on arguing more.

One is substantially larger than the other but you are mad at the small one

How many landlords or employers need to think like thethe before it’s quite big itself?

If enough landlords think like that then you are not focused on the right problem

But nobody has a gun to your head as you pick up an applicant’s rental application and demanding you make a gut decision. You’re claiming instead that even with access to relevant information that would allow you to move past stereotypes that you would cling to them. It’s a much different scenario.

Idk why this is difficult

Thethe would see a picture of Nicola Jokic and some random black guy and pick the black guy to defend his life in a 1 on 1 basketball game. When told Jokic has won multiple NBA MVP’s and the black guy works for an insurance company, he wouldn’t change his decision because he already has enough “data” to make his decision. We’re supposed to sympathize with this choice because there was that one time years ago when thethe was playing basketball and he saw a guy with dark skin dunk over someone.

My scenario is pick a racer if your life depended on it. The stopwatch isn’t an option. Keep up

Why do we need to pick a racer in your idiotic scenario when we’re talking about the real world with access to tools and information necessary to make an informed decision?

I expect a spate of black crime stories posted today, as if the crime statistics aren’t already well known and these headlines advance the ball on the discussion in any meaningful way.

And if you don’t respond to each and every one with a mix of shock and horror you’re just afraid of the truth.

The crime stats tell us nothing?

Statistical outlier

Statistical outlier

So? You have the data on the individuals in question. Would you ignore that data just because Jokic is a “statistical outlier,” or would you consider his individual merit as the more important factor in your decision?

In your scenario of the “black doctor” (lololol) I’d Probabaly choose him over a degenerate white you. But again - statical outlier.

Crime stats show big reductions in crime. Including big reductions in black incarceration rates since their peaks in the 1990s. There is more good news than bad news in the crime stats. But none one would know if from what y'all post.

 

[acesfull86]

We’ll be sure to tell them to put “statistical outlier” on your headstone when Jokic wins the life or death 1 on 1 game.

I’ll be sure to put “great person” on yours the majority of other times it makes sense to pick the black guy.

How does the peer analysis look?

And of course the elephant in the room is the many times it’s been uncovered crime stats are fudged for political purposes.

In only one direction, of course. Tough on crime Republicans would never have an incentive to do such a thing.

The last time a family member was in dire need of medical care it was provided by a young doctor from Haiti. The staffs at hospitals, including the best doctors, look a lot different than they did 40 years ago. Your assumptions are wrong.
