Racism (Chicago, Harvard, Diamond: crimes, neighborhoods, college)

[ubuntumatrix]

I think Dave Chappelle said it best on the actor's guild "the level of racism is 'muah!' magnifique!"

The levels of xenophobia and racism I've seen here is AMAZING. From people saying moral decline is because of those pesky minority blacks and browns, to people using the lack of minorities as some reason for safety. The same simple-minded fools who don't even understand that money MOVES, neighborhoods rise and fall throughout the years, economic & sociological changes morph cities with time. (BTW, like Chicago was some damn-safe utopia in 1990.)

The great thing about this forum is whenever you log on you see arm-chair economists and criminologists discussing what sucks here, what sucks there, there always seems to be some racial undertone behind it here.

I hope those of you who are taking offense to this don't change a bit, it's actually a great feeling to know there's always someone more miserable and more petty than you can ever be. So as you're sitting behind your computer letting the world pass you by as you venture off into that scary thing called "reality" looking for the next thing to complain about be sure to keep it up.

Really, great job.

P.S. As long as you keep treating the inner-city poor the way you are they'll react the way they do. Inner-city people commit crimes the same way, no matter what color.

You need to read the book, The Bell Curve, by Charles Murray.

Four words: "The Mismeasure of Man"

I went to Harvard College as well, does that mean if I write a book I suddenly have credibility?

The Bell Curve is meticulously researched and footnoted, in anticipation of deniers and intolerant phobes who can't handle scientific inquiry and progress.

Stephen Jay Gould and Melvin Konner single-handedly addressed the large problems with "The Bell Curve".

You dogmatically believe what you choose to believe and that's obvious, but the rebuttals are already numerous and highly convincing.

Btw, where and what is your post-secondary education in?

P.S. As long as your racism is shrouded in "science" right? Reminds me of those people who stand behind Genesis as literal account since someone a Yale published a book saying irreducible complexity negates evolution through natural selection.

You clearly need a reason to validate your beliefs.

I'll put it bluntly for you, OK? Stephen Jay Gould and Melvin Konner, and throw in Pinker and Diamond too....all of these people are Ashkenazi Jews who put out that "mismeasure' propaganda and lies because they are so traumatized by the Holocaust that they are fully terrified of anything that would highlight the differences between races, ethnic groups, etc.

These guys put out those lies for public consumption, but you can be guaranteed that they don't believe it for themselves, and they most certainly don't teach that to their own kids before their bar mitzvahs. All of their work has legitimate criticism, but they have the marxist machinery behind their stuff (like winning book awards, etc.) Again, you can be sure they don't really believe it and they do not tell their own kids that "everyone is equal".

Regarding Genesis you have it backwards. The same aforementioned people who trumpet Darwin and science as a means to bludgeon and mock religious people (primarily Christians), are the first to DENY that very same science and Darwinism when it comes to race. What hypocrisy. These same people also don't have a problem with the State of Israel being legitimized by using a Biblical claim, that same bible they mock in other circumstances!! Incredible.

OK dude, you're pretty new here so I'll explain the situation to you. There's one pathologically obsessed white-power nut who keeps getting banned but shows up hours later with a new screen name and spouts the same racialist crap over and over. So what looks like a fleet of brownshirts is actually the same one or maybe two people.

Brisklaw is a racist.

I don't think the Chicago threads are that much different from others here at CD. I was just reading someone criticizing LA Dodger games as being overrun with thugishness and with Latino gangs etc. Here is an AZ thread: http://www.city-data.com/forum/phoen...ding-area.html
