Is that really what's happening?
Who? The working class? Or Amazon?
If you can't figure it out after decades, then maybe there is something wrong with your premise.
Exactly how much tax does the working class pay?
I'm skeptical of the "virtually no tax on the...
I was really just looking for the Chapelle skit, but I accidentally came across this version. Someone cut it up and spliced it with some rantings from an angry black dude.
Angry black dude makes...
85% of those born into the bottom quintile of wealth in America move out of that quintile within 1 generation. 15% of those at the top move all the way to the bottom. And there is shitloads of...
We're off topic anyway. Since you seem to be the only one unequivocally in support of reparations, can you answer the question in the OP?
Who pays? And who gets paid?
^Message for educators. Your job is 95% karaoke already. Learn to code!
You think so?
I wonder if you'll be saying this when the universities die
youtube will replace education in 20 years
No. More/better education probably wouldn't work.
It's currently illegal in the United States to induct a person into the military with an IQ below 83. If that doesn't shock and horrify you,...
I know for sure that the Tribe owns the land. That much I'm super sure about. I had to do a project on it in college.
The gov't has some say over stuff, but I don't know what the criteria are. ...
Nope. The casino is effectively in another country for all intents and purposes. It has it's own sworn police force, it's own court, it's own post office.
Isn't that the same thing?
Still not following. If the Twins have the same genes, then their genetic component of IQ should be the same. To see how much is environmental, you need to raise them in different environments. ...
Then why do they have to study twins?
Sorry, I"m not reading that. Give me the cliffs.
You'll have to elaborate on a specific situation.
Most of the NA tribes in this area own casinos. And while they may not live on a formal reservation, they get a check every month. It's not...
As a tangent to the above, and as proof that it's true, I'll connect this to the other ongoing discussion in here about Native Americans.
The Reserveations on which they live is a perfect example...
Getting back to IQ. This is the argument Charles Murray makes and he's been branded an alt-right nazi white nationalist white supremacist bigot for it. But I see only compassion in this argument. ...
You're presuming that the longer sentences can only be caused by racism. I don't see how that's possible
Can you think of some other reasons?
Jesus man....sample size? How many sets of twins, that are raised apart even exist?
Objection: Assumes facts not in evidence
The data does not show this. It shows the opposite.
The argument that IQ is largely biological is amazingly strong. Environment, not so much.
The...
WRONG
Let's play this out for a minute. Assume it is genetics. Does that mean we accept inequality? What happens in a world where we definitively determine that IQ is genetic, and black people...
I just read the data. I'm not inferring anything about what it means.
Stop answering questions with questions.
Dude, the out-of-wedlock birthrate is over 70%. That IS a population level effect.
What if I told you that the average black person's IQ is a full standard deviation lower than the IQ of the average white person
Would that explain inequality?
Is that fair?
