OK. But I wouldn't have lasted a term - I know that and I don't think I am alone by a long way. In that case they must have an effective selection/weeding out system from the outset. That's probably why they have a boot camp.

[Mike Oxlong]

I wouldn't have lasted there either, but that's not the point. More options for disadvantaged people is probably most often a good thing. They do well, attract friends and sponsors with money and clout, and good for them. Far from the only option, as it should be. Matsuki made the point that having options helped him. I think all kids should have as many as possible. Some will excel at sport, others at the arts, others still may take to STEM. And Gramps had a great point about apprenticeships in the trades and whatnot. I'd love to see kids get a change to experience agriculture, the trades and manufacturing, transport, business and all the other stuff that modern Western education has dropped the ball on.

Cheap shot. Among all races, you'll find right-wing opinions, so black Americans are no exception. Ben Carson: LOL. The majority of black Americans have different opinions.

So much for equal treatment...

Research suggests that police practices, such as racial profiling, over-policing in areas populated by minorities and in-group bias may result in disproportionately high numbers of racial minorities among crime suspects.[65][66][67][68]

In-group bias has been observed when it comes to traffic citations, as black and white cops are more likely to cite out-groups.[67] A 2013 report by the American Civil Liberties Union found that blacks were "3.73 times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana possession," even though "blacks and whites use drugs, including marijuana, at similar rates."[69] A 2020 study in the journal Nature found that black drivers were stopped more often than white drivers, and that the threshold by which police decided to search black and Hispanic drivers was lower than that for whites (judging by the rate at which contraband was found in searches).[12] Analysis of more than 20 million traffic stops in North Carolina showed that blacks were more than twice as likely as whites to be pulled over by police for traffic stops, and that blacks were more likely to be searched following the stop. There were no significant difference in the likelihood that Hispanics would be pulled over, but Hispanics were much more likely to be searched following a traffic stop than whites. When the study controlled for searches in high-crime areas, it still found that police disproportionately targeted black individuals. These racial disparities were particularly pronounced for young men. The study found that whites who were searched were more likely to carry contraband than blacks and Hispanics.[70][71]

A 2018 study in the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies found that law enforcement officers in Texas who could charge shoplifters with two types of crimes (one more serious, one less so) due to a vaguely worded statute were more likely to charge blacks and Hispanics with the more serious crime.[72]

A 2019 study, which made use of a dataset of the racial makeup of every U.S. sheriff over a 25-year period, found that "ratio of Black‐to‐White arrests is significantly higher under White sheriffs" and that the effects appear to be "driven by arrests for less‐serious offenses and by targeting Black crime types."[73]

A 2019 study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology found that facial-recognition systems were substantially more likely to misidentify the faces of racial minorities.[74] Some ethnic groups, such as Asian-Americans and African-American, were up to 100 times more likely to be misidentified than white men.[74]

A 2018 study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that tall young black men are especially likely to receive unjustified attention by law enforcement.[75] The authors furthermore found a "causal link between perceptions of height and perceptions of threat for Black men, particularly for perceivers who endorse stereotypes that Black people are more threatening than White people."[75]

Triggered! It will be a very short time before the usual arguments and excuses are trotted out. Black people are no more angels than white people but guess what - No-one would choose to be black because life is made a lot harder in many ways. The marijuana possession one is interesting. In states where a lot of white people enjoy it, it has been legalised. In the others, as in London, if you are white and middle class or above it is highly unlikely you will be arrested for a small quantity. If you are working class white you probably won't be arrested unless you do something stupid. If you are black? Well the numbers speak for themselves. You likely will be arrested, charged and possibly sent to prison.

But, but, but those black folks "ended up in their situation because of the choices they made". Or the choices made by their parents. Like the choice to produce children...

That's right. And I never enjoyed any privilege ....no sir ....everything I have and have achieved I earned just by my own hard work. No-one ever helped me or let me off when I did something wrong, or gave me a second chance. No way, I had to struggle against the odds because of the evil of people pushing for equal opportunities. I never got a nod and a wink, was never waved through or given the benefit of the doubt because of my appearance and accent. If everyone just worked hard like me and had the same moral compass they could have done just as I have done. It is white people who are discriminated against! THEY ARE BLEEDING US DRY!

You posted those videos in reply to my assertion to ask the opinions of black people rather than listen to non-black people. The videos you posted appeared to be quite one-sided. I replied that like all people, black folks have different opinions, but the majority feels discriminated against by society.

Let's say that we both agree that black folks have different opinions on being discriminated; my opinion is that that is the majority of them.

[matsuki]

guess what - No-one would choose to be black because life is made a lot harder in many ways.

Since when were you empowered to speak for all of non-black mankind? Are you suggesting all the black people of the world are born with such a handicap? I had a diversity course in college where the professor spouted the same shit. Do you think black people throughout Africa have the same mindset? That's a pretty sad, defeatist mentality to have but I guess you need to push that kind of bullshit if you want to convince black people there is some sort of conspiracy to oppress you. That same professor associated being black with slavery constantly and IMHO was fucking clueless about enslaved Natives, the plights of indentured servants, and how Asians were treated because it didn't interest here and it distracted form her narrative. At the end of the day, America is not the world and when you have people "correcting" actual Africans, born in Africa but in the US, to refer to themselves as "African American" and telling them they're oppressed, it quickly becomes clear it's a pretty myopic view.

as I have repeatedly said, this not a binary

THIS

We all agree racism exists, it's bad, it should be stomped out where possible, and more money/effort should be dedicated to giving everyone a fair shake when it comes to education and opportunities. We agree police brutality and trigger happy cops are a problem in the US? Yes?

Regardless of out different assessments of the current problems, we all have the same goals, no? So then, when we have differing opinions on how deep the race issue is, what good does it do to label those who don't share your views as ignorant, racist, etc? Being treated fairly like an equal human being isn't a privilege, it's a basic human right. Why put white people on the defensive and demand they feel guilty by calling it white privilege? What about the other colors? Even though race is a bullshit concept to begin with, black/white are not the only races and being white is hardly a qualification to being racist. If I hear some racist shit from anyone I care about, my go to tactic isn't to alienate and demonize them to tap their understanding and get them to relate. I don't immediately write them off. I humanize the issue and the person they're spouting off about and usually that makes it very difficult for them to stick to their shit take.

Cheng posted a video showing a policeman pinning her down by the neck with his knee while she cried out in pain and tried to push him off. He was shown eventually letting her go after another woman tried to pull her out from under him, before grabbing Cheng by the hair as he pushed her out of the room. The video has since been removed from Weibo.

“I will never forget the fear I felt, and I never thought this kind of near-death experience would be caused by the people who have sworn to protect the public,” Cheng wrote in her Weibo post, also now deleted.

.....

Cheng was later “educated on common law” and has since “expressed understanding”, according to the police statement. It did not confirm the identity of the policeman in the video, nor did it address his actions.

On Sunday, Cheng wrote on Weibo: “Thank you to everyone who read my Weibo post. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Luohu police for their sincere communication and assistance, the issue has since been resolved, I hope everyone can stop sharing and commenting about it. Thank you again everyone.”

Is islam a Camel-Jacker Pedo religion of islamism and mohammedanism too taboo for Japan?

If a moohammad came to Japan today, got his bandits ready for jihad and bought a 6 yr old as war booty and dry humped her, would he be arrested ... or would he be the founder of a new religion of peace, a piece here another body part over there?

As the Oil crashes the Arab media dont like that some Kurd or Turk dude was arrested in Japan.
Is this an arrest issue, a human rights issue? or will it be a political religious issue. Japan: Police brutality against Kurdish man and racial injustice spark Tokyo protest

What I honestyly don't understand, maybe because I am not American or too old-school to see, is why these Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben logos have to go. There are lots of logos with white faces on them, but black faces are now taboo? For me that sounds like "logo-apartheid". But I am sure, that naive me just don't see the obvious.

It's simply that the so-called progressives are actually race-obsessed. Anti-racist is a euphemism for racist. Anti-fascist for fascist. A very successful black woman must have her image removed from history. A successful rice farmer disappeared. Certain lives kinda don't matter.

If you've read Orwell then you know the context and the meaning. Not like Aldous Huxkey nor Ray Bradbury knew anything either.

[wangta]

George Orwell's '1984' says in one part that history had been outlawed and all that was permitted was the present.
Sounds familiar?

Meanwhile the so called mainstream media in the US including the once respected Washington Post and New York Times do cowardly arse licking of whatever BLM or 'anti fascists' or any 'activist' from the so called 'progressive' side says. Just like all the corporations. Interesting that, corporate conglomerates are rushing to support BLM as in the organization that took over what was originally a grassroots movement with more black underclass and blue collar influence.
Now it's more about radical left agendas of black people who come from the black middle and upper classes.

So-called progressives emotionally and physically blackmailing cowardly people who lick their arses and agree to not have their own opinion in what used to be the biggest democracy on earth. Fuck em. As people are saying everywhere, you can't attend a funeral for your loved ones in a church but you can burn a church down and the gutless worms of Dimocrat mayors, governors and others will excuse you.

Ordinary people can't attend events but thousands of left wing protesters can keep spreading the virus and demonstrating, undermining all the health gains made over the past few months but will be the first to scream racism when minorities get sick from it.

Threatening your speech and even your thoughts regardless of how logical and fair, toppling statues - glad that one fuck involved got his head crushed, Darwin's law - smashing shop windows and burning down wherever. These cunts are showing who they are and they don't need cowardly arse licking - they need the full weight of the law to come down on them.

One of my mates from Melbourne is Jewish and his grandma was 5 yrs old under the Nazis, she said BLM, antifa and all the assorted leftist thugs doing this looked exactly like the Nazis on Christallnacht when they looted and destroyed Jewish businesses.

They are also now the Taliban destroying monuments. Fuck these cunts and the Dimocrats who are using them for their election campaign against Trump. Interesting to see what the general US population especially in the swing states will think of this all when they go to the polls. Looks like the Republican tactic is to give all these scumbags enough rope to hang themselves, letting their hatred and violence speak to what they really are.

And no, this isn't a lynching analogy. Please - everything isn't about black people although we'd never know it from the growing hysteria from sections of that community. This is an old saying and was around long before black people were enslaved by white colonialism, in fact, believe it or not, slavery has been around since the beginning of organized groups.

[Russell]

Anti-fascist for fascist.

So, how do you identify yourself, Mike?

Fascist or anti-fascist?

[wangta]

But but but, the left extremists in BLM, antifa and their scumbag helpers are 'anti fascist'! They move in mobs, they intimidate instead of debating, they have double standards, when "you' get killed and beaten and your business burned it's fine because you are not our skin colour and not one of us, they preach and do the opposite of what they say they stand for which apparently is 'equality' but is becoming very clear it is not, their arse lickers in the media and corporations repeat the propaganda and censor voices of reason. They are fascists.

Fascism is not new to the left. Ask any German or Jewish people who is well informed and not hampered by ideology that is still alive about what happened there before Hitler's ascent to power. The running battles in the streets between National Socialists - Nazis - and International Socialists/Communists - in Germany were about the Nazis focusing on home and against international leftist movements because they were internationalist and had the membership of a disproportionate number of Jewish people.

People started to support what looked like the lesser of the evil for non Jewish Germans - Nazis who didn't make it their campaign platform to destroy Christianity and implement violent revolution. That's one of the reasons they won influence pre the Nazi regime. They were socialists and also if you bother to read what they believed it was anti capitalist, they hated the international monopoly capitalist order as much as they hated Jewish people.

The extreme left have always equaled fascists.
