I thought about quoting one of the responses that rebuts Pinker using data and academic studies, but this one summarizes my feelings much more effectively: https://twitter.com/edburmila/status/1268211275324174337

Even if everyone was entirely honest (and it was even slightly relevant), those are still abjectly horrifying numbers. drat near 25% would object to a relative marrying someone of a different race? In 2008? Jesus christ that's terrible. "Oh, but look at how the trends are going downward!" Oh, yay, a linear fit shows that everyone will agree that black people aren't lazy by, what, 2050? Progress!

Hey, so a video game company that makes Star Citizen, it's an indie thing, I'm sure you've never heard of it... they put out the generic Black Lives Matter support message. They say their community is the best drat game community in the world! Let's see how they respond! quote:I want to know who the hell thought this was a good idea? quote:I suggest everyone who disagrees with CIG's statement that is supporting violent protests notify the CS department. quote:Refunds still happening? I've got thousands poured into this game it's disappointing to see it become political. quote:I'm done spending https://twitter.com/_Virtual_Nomad/status/1267989617376182272 https://twitter.com/clarkh77/status/1267989807084572679 https://twitter.com/Kal_Knightwolf/status/1268149045769404418 https://twitter.com/realAlexPanthea/status/1267989561226874880 https://twitter.com/idealiZt1/status/1268112262880989184 https://twitter.com/AI62473606/status/1268066390533160960 https://twitter.com/deathsmeg/status/1268078306651447296 https://twitter.com/pasta44123/status/1268025768556277762 https://twitter.com/TheRealGremlich/status/1268176219243196417 https://twitter.com/Benjaminty47/status/1267992372576522241 https://twitter.com/rk4391/status/1268005237996097536

Is there anything recently as pro tier as this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWq8ynUq7wM It packed more jokes into 20minutes than most sitcoms, it was a joy to watch and I'd love to see something in a similar vein of awful. e: can't resist watching it again, and still finding it hilarious that it takes him 12 minutes just to get into a drat spaceship.

I'm the marginal percent of people in the mid-90s who who disapprove of interracial marriage but wouldn't mind if a relative married a black person.

I’m a big fan of the Star Citizen fan who said the officers had been indicted and arrested yesterday when it just happened today. Like within the last few hours.

Ironically, he's right in the wrong way. At the Ferguson protests, there was an immediate decrease in violence when the National Guard took over because they weren't nearly as insane as American police. The National Guard doesn't really want to be there and doesn't have any ill will toward the citizens. The cops want to hurt people and turn a peaceful protest into a riot to delegitimize it and give them an excuse to beat the poo poo out of minorities, so they charge into peaceful protesters, fire tear gas at random houses, and beat the poo poo out of journalists and destroy their cameras. American cops are such animals that replacing them with the military would cause less damage.

Yeah it's not like military enlisted are chud-free or full of the best and brightest in all cases but everyone I've met from there is leagues better than cops.

Cernunnos posted:The black guy being represented by a loving predator got an immediate from me. It's a Zootopia thing. The movie has predator animals as discriminated against by prey animals because of propaganda of violence from their past and predators "going savage", which is dismissed as being innate to their biology. It gets revealed to be a conspiracy to drug predators to make them seem insane against their will and unite everyone else in genocide to wipe them out. So it's not quite as tone-deaf as it seems.

The obvious flaw in making that analogous to real life race relations is that wolves actually do have a biological drive to kill and devour prey animals.

Considering that it's fundamentally a kid's movie, I thought it did a good job showing that, even though she meant well and didn't consciously discriminate, she'd still inherited a bunch of unconscious biases that she had to confront. I don't know a lot of other movies, let alone children's movies, that acknowledge that you can still be a racist even if you're not intentionally one.

Then again it was a pretty pro-cop film, but to be fair, that's a kid's movie for you. It's not like the cartoon animals were going to start singing "gently caress the Police".
