Your observations may well be 100% reflective of your experience. They may not be at all reflective of the experiences of that kid from the north sought.

Huh? "Kid from the north sought?" Ya lost me there.

In short, I hate the way they are used, because they are used incorrectly.

Which is what you are doing here with them, ironically.

Those sorts of laws and regulations tend to disadvantage the lower socioeconomic rungs on the ladder. There is nothing “inherently racist” about them. Unfortunately, blacks do tend to be disproportionately-represented in those lower socioeconomic groups. Hence, there does tend to be a disparate impact.

Yeah, no. Blacks don't have trouble getting IDs or voting. Like, at all. Ask any random black person on the street sans political context if they have ID on them and they'll look at you like you're crazy. Which you would be

But to bring this back to the point at hand, you're vectoring towards using "peer reviewed studies" as be-all, end all, when you know they can (and often are) misused, misinterpreted, or otherwise constructed to confirm biases which said researchers wanted to elevate or dispel. Not always, but often enough that pretending they have more weight than relevant personal experience is more of a bias confirmation on your part than anything else.

Which is fine, btw. But let's call it what it is. This ain't an intellectual approach. It's a "how can I still be seen as right" gambit. We all do it, but in these types of discussions, it's a flimsy fallback.

Ah.

Changes nothing about my response.

And violence/abuse too, correct?

These people aren’t role models.

You are correct. Drag queens like to bring young guys into their circle and call themselves their drag Mom.

No, but he stayed in a Holiday Inn Express once.....

Fulfilling thousands of years old Bible prophesy of Jews returning to their homeland and forming their own country. Something that would have seemed impossible only a few years prior to it.

I PROMISE you if my wife had dragged my youngun's to this sort of shitshow, I would have shown up on "First 48"...

No, I do not think that most academics would do that, because their work is going to be peer reviewed, and people are going to poke holes in obvious fallacies.

---

Peer reviewed by people who most likely agree with them.

The field of "peer reviewed" science and more recently the medical field have been exposed. If they want to tell me that the gravitational field has shifted by .0001, fine, I'll buy that. I no longer take anything at face value when there's a political angle to it. I don't know how anybody who's even mildly observant can do otherwise.
