re: Bernie sanders leaves out Asians in tweet comparing net wealth by race

I can admit that, but I can also admit that if the black doesn't have anything illegal, he realistically won't be arrested.

regardless of the outcome, the initial profiling is a pretty clear example of white privilege

And yes, even as a younger white male, I was pulled over and harrassed by the cops. Didn't cost me any money though, because I don't drive dirty.

---

because you had a great experience with the cops, everybody will. i like that logic.

Are you saying that getting pulled over is a cause for being poor?

Horse shite

Blacks commit crime at a far higher rate. Of course they are suspects more often

Would be raw stupidity if they were not

We should pay for marriages for poor black people.

quote:

Black married families have similar (low) poverty rates as whites families Marriage is the single largest weapon against poverty Poverty rates for Black families vary based on the family type. While 23% of all Black families live below the poverty level only 8% of Black married couple families live in poverty which is considerably lower than the 37% of Black families headed by single women who live below the poverty line. The highest poverty rates (46%) are for Black families with children which are headed by single Black women. This is significant considering more than half (55%) of all Black families with children are headed by single women.

Hey Bernie.

Break out Jewish family wealth next.

Priveledge implies that I would gain some advantage. I don't. If you are clean, you are (in 99% of cases) free to go.

When I get parking or speeding tickets, I pay them. I don't wait for my license to get suspended and then claim that the "system" is a racket.

I didn't. They put me in cuffs, on my knees and hounded me to try and get access to the car. Again though, I was clean. I can't see how that scenario would go any different for a black person, unless you are going to suggest that cops en masse are planting shite.

My thoughts exactly. You equate being pulled over because of profiling as a legitimate excuse to be poor. That's a fricking pathetic expectation of black people, that they are so incapable as to not be able to overcome such an event.

quote:

---

its okay to harass blacks because more blacks are criminals

I don't know if that was the inference, but I think many of us here can agree that their have been some social inequities; however, the same has been true for the Chinese, Japanese, and Irish at times, and all of those groups overcame as soon as those limitations went away.

Ruh roh.

A new paper suggests that Americans are more politically polarized now than they've been in the past 46 years, and millennials are guiding this trend. The young adults, who were born between 1980 and 1994, are currently more politically polarized than Generation Xers and Baby Boomers, according to the paper, which was published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin on Wednesday. Additionally, millennials are more likely to identify as conservative than either Generation Xers or Baby Boomers were at the same age, said Jean Twenge, professor of psychology at San Diego State University and lead author of the paper.

The Baby Boomers are maybe the least race-realist generation left on the planet.

The only race Bernie gives a shite about is his next Senate race.
