A higher percentage of dead whites are shot by cops than dead blacks are so get over it. | |

We were talking about cops killing black people. I mentioned the relevant portions. I only fully perused the article after you asked for it. |

The study is a good example of why jumping to conclusions based on stats is a bad idea. Statistics are good for showing that something happened, not why something happened. It is a mistake to use this study to say "aha fewer shots at blacks implies less racism against blacks" but it is also a mistake to say "aha more force against blacks means more racism against blacks." Extrapolation and inferences from statistics is a bad idea. |

Here's an example for why these stats are inherently unreliable when used to infer causes. |

It shows that blacks are 24 percent less likely to be shot at by cops than white when lethal force is appropriate. | |

Crime rates among blacks are much, much higher than whites. One quick-googled claim is that the homicide offending rate is almost 8x higher for blacks than whites. |

According to the 2013 FBI Crime Report, that year the number of blacks killed by whites was at approximately 0.77 per 1,000,000 blacks, while the number of whites killed by blacks was at 9.83 per 1,000,000 whites. | |

The paper actually concludes that they couldn't find any evidence of racial bias wrt shootings only, but is forthcoming with possible flaws. | |

I found the "no racial bias" claim strange since it appears they found racial bias against whites regarding weapons fired. Wait, that claim does make sense to me since of course everybody knows that it's not possible to have a negative racial bias regarding whites. |

But when a black person kills someone, he's more likely to kill a white due to population. Whites would be more likely to kill whites too | |

Then why isn't it white lives matter? Whites are the ones being shot by cops at higher rates when lethal action was justified. That's what BLM was started over and is supposed to be about. | |

Here's where I mostly disagree. Black culture doesn't give a shit about education. The Booker T. Washington side was right (focus on education and entrepreneurship). It didn't lose so much as its successful adherents focused on their own lives instead, which handed the black culture wars to the professional victims. |

It seems dubious to assume that these traits are inherent in African culture and not inherent to subjugated cultures. If you and your assumptions are right everywhere else, I suppose it shouldn't make a prescriptive difference, but I do think the difference is non insignificant if only in the sense that application of the solution is likely to be more thorough, thoughtful, and fully realized when applied from one starting point rather than the other. | |

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. As far as I can tell, the first mention of General Flynn as a possible VP for Trump first hit the airwaves three days after the supposed FBI anon posted it on 4chan. |

He isn't wrong. The study shows blacks are less likely to be shot than whites by 24%. I can't find what you quoted, but here's my copypasta of the link: |

I linked the actual paper the guy wrote. The paper that article is quoting. The paper that lists that stat and then says it isn't statistically significant. | |

Even though at this point I want Trump to get the nomination, I'm gonna LOL if he loses it, since it would be because of the large number of wrong things he did like accusing Ted's dad of being involved in the JFK assassination. He should have saved his blatant lies for enemies, not fellow Republicans. |

Okay I found the other quote. Apparently both of our quotes are in there, which is weird, since one says the blacks portion is statistically insignificant while the other says it's significant. |

It's annoying because they're being intellectually lazy. If you're gonna rally behind something, and post evidence in support of the cause, make it good evidence. Everything else is a waste of time, and only serves to hurt their stance | |

Trump's speech will go down in history as one of the best in all politics. He's gonna win in a landslide. 55% minimum. Scott Adams may not be far off with his ludicrous 65% prediction. Clinton may not even be able to pull 200 electoral votes. |

Personally, I liked Cruz's speech a whole lot better. But what I think will make this speech so great for Trump is his performance was WAY better than it has ever been. It's almost like he intentionally gave "bad" speeches before so that he could show up now and look perfectly poised and presidential. He hit all the most important points in a persuasive way. For example, one thing he needs to do to win the election is get rid of the "racist" label the Democrats put on him. Most people would try to do that by defending themselves by talking about how they're not racist and stuff, which doesn't work. Instead Trump alluded to race issues in the entire speech in a light that counters the racist label. He used some keywords that touch black voters more than others like "equality" when discussing inner city children. Another that stood out the most to me was how he repeated about four times virtually the same perfect phrase regarding law and order and safety. |

I found his repetition grating, but I'm sure the kickers of shit and breathers of mouth were pleased. I'd say it was a fantastic speech in terms of persuading his audience and increasing his chances of winning the presidency. | |

He might do slightly better by way of a handful of Never Trump social conservatives or Berners that won't move to Trump. Even so, Johnson is likely to do worse among his base because that's Trump's base. How many Ron Paulites moved to Johnson? Few. Ron Paulites are the most fervent of Trump's base. |

Plus it can be said that the race doesn't truly start until the first debate. That's when casuals start paying attention. When they see Trump demolish Clinton while acting presidential and not saying anything that can be remotely construed as racist or bigoted, the 10-20% of undecideds are gonna start falling for him. Also there will probably be a huge Shy Tory effect. I'm expecting one so big that it'll be renamed the Shy Trump effect. So many of his supporters don't talk about supporting him because doing so gets an immediate "racist" label, and many are sort of just waiting for how they can justify voting for him. |

Holy shitfuck I just saw a rando live interview with some rando DNC attendees who claimed that Clinton is less corrupt than Trump because BernVictims totes malotes stood up during the DNC to say how sadface Hillary made them therefore she's in the doghouse and that forces her to be less corrupt than the racist, sexist, xenophobic, bigoted, kills-babies, butt-fucks-Moses Donald Trump. |
