I can’t really speak to Trump’s genealogy, but ethnic Germans can be seen as cousins of sorts to the ethnic Americans in general. They assimilate just fine and have intermarried quite a lot with the old American stock. Again, ignorance of the history of the early laws of this country with respect to immigration especially is no friend. I’ve spoken to the heritage black Americans already in this very thread. If you can’t be bothered to read just say so and have done with it.

I would bet that NFL players are more religious than the general population. American blacks are more likely to be religious than the general population and obviously the NFL has more black people, by percentage, than the general population.

No, I mean black. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/12/01/metro/what-we-mean-by-black-girl-magic/

Like I said, a lot of it has to do with the (black) market for cars. Don't seem to be as popular now. Used to be Customs would crack open crates with stolen Q7s on their way to Israel or Eastern Europe pretty regularly. It's like most crime, most of it is opportunity. Locking your car, just like locking your house, is usually an effective deterrent by itself. ETA: I know with the Q7s windows would sometimes get smashed and they would use a computer that hooked into the OBD connecter to program a generic fob. I haven't kept up because they trended down but it's possible Audi managed to increase security on the car's computer.

Approximately 48 hours after starting this thread, SDS received a visit from several men in black at his workplace who informed him that this board would continue as usual so they could monitor the public views of an MKUltra program participant who shall remain nameless at this time.

I can't be the only degenerate who consumes energy drinks. One large mug of coffee at home, one 30oz or so travel mug filled before work. Usually that's it, but if I have to pull a longer day I'll get a large $0.99 coffee and throw a couple of the stok espresso shots in there as well. On reeeaaalllly long days or drives I'll grab a Monster Rehab or two. Used to drink a Rehab or two every day but switched to black coffee almost exclusively a couple years back. No sugar either, don't want the beetus.

It's the same strategy as 1/6 - "Sicknick killed by insurrectionists" or Rittenhouse "killed black people." They know that the emotional impact of the initial (false) story is what will stick with most normal people.

lmao yeah the Proud Boys started a riot in response to a clean shoot of a black dude. Give us a *****in break dude

Blacks also commit interracial violent crime at overrepresented rates.

Those states also have the most black people. Blacks are vastly over represented in both homicide offenders and victims.

Then this needs to be looked at rather closely before any policy ideas can be spun from it. Same as the nonsense behind "black 'birth-givers' have a higher mortality than white ones."

Blacks shoot more, kill more, kill police more, get killed by police more. Simple as.

Crypto apologists really don’t get it. The government can very easily seize or freeze your digital assets. And then there’s the whole matter of getting your black market currency accepted in exchange for goods or services. Or better yet, getting the tax man to accept it. And I do trade for some of my meat and produce. I’ll be fine. I just wonder if all these bitheads have really thought this thing through.

Is the war in Ukraine about philosophy of government? Is it about reclaiming ethnic Russians for their motherland? Is it naked aggression and land/material greed? No you chud, it’s about black women in America.

And again the question needs to be asked: our laws and Constitution are set down in black and white, forever inscribed into our nation's founding documents as well as acts of Congress. Why, then, does "diversity" enter into the equation? Why does any group need "representation" in the reading and interpreting of laws?

I guess the real question is where are they going to find a black woman who is baptized into the Roman Catholic Church? Tbh I'm not sure if black jew or black catholic is a tougher ask.

As a mildly insane non-voter, I'd say this is mostly true. The idea that the Dems are the only ones playing identity politics is false. The Republicans are just more of the wink and nod types. Point 2 is obnoxiously worded but I understand what you're saying. I don't think most people are thinking "can't let the gays or the blacks get more status" so much as "****, I like my life and don't want it to change." Since there is no thesis, that is where my commentary will end.

Resurrecting this thread because I found this take on identity politics: While Juror presented his questions without commentary or thesis, there are many who would present those questions with the thesis "it's bad for straight white men to participate in identity politics" outright stated and the idea that it's ok for black folk, LGBT folk, etc. to participate in identity politics implied. My only commentary is this: if straight white men are beginning to act more "tribal," in the sense of voting as a group rather than as individuals and embracing identity politics, look for the Left and the "moderate" Republicans to start decrying identity politics loudly and with great fervor within the next few years.

Yes, to a black agender pansexual vegan. Hopefully that checks enough boxes.

Nah man, black on black crime doesn't count Source?

So do most cops. Now that body cameras have been implemented in many departments, I'm still waiting for all these videos of unjustified shoots of black folks I was promised

Again, the disparities in the commission of violent crimes in white vs. black populations is well documented; that you can't separate that from a population number is your problem. If we go off of the commission of violent crimes, then blacks are actually underrepresented in fatal police encounters. As to sample size and statistical relevance, I think it's hard to say what would be an effective sample when police have millions and millions of encounters with civilians every year. As far as the factors that play into whether or not a cop pulls a trigger, again I'm not sure we'll ever have a good way to measure that because deadly force encounters happen very quickly and involve human minds that have been flooded with adrenaline and what have you. It's remarkably easy to not get shot by a cop. Millions of people manage to not get shot in their encounters with police every year. Close to half a million manage to not get shot while being arrested for a violent felony. The number of "bad" shoots is remarkably small, and those cops are dealt with accordingly (not with "paid leave" like Kaep and BLM like to say). Edited to add: if I recall correctly there were 30 shoots of "unarmed" whites in 2015, but again the use of the word "unarmed" can be extremely misleading to the point of useless. That was more the point I was trying to make by "qualifying" its use.

And that's already been done, for anyone paying attention. But the people pushing the BLM narrative have no intention of understanding what is actually going on. You fail to realize that you've swallowed their narrative whole by even acknowledging that there might be a problem with homicidal maniac racist cops. The violent crime disparities between whites and blacks are well documented. In 2015 there were 987 fatal police shootings in the USA. Blacks made up 26% of those shootings. Of those, 36 "unarmed" black males were shot, though "unarmed" includes those who went for the officer's gun, were beating a cop with his own equipment, the results of accidental discharge during a struggle, and a bystander. If BLM and co. actually had a legitimate gripe with cops, you would know about the white guy in Tuscaloosa, Alabama who came at a cop with a !@#$ing spoon and was tazed and then shot. But that doesn't suit the narrative. So guys like Michael Brown (who clearly attempted to take an officer's weapon - an immediate deadly force response was needed) become household names because it's convenient for the narrative.

I wouldn't say "blacks themselves" you !@#$ing racist. I would say that the culture that's been crafted in heavily black, poor neighborhoods has contributed a lot to this, and it's not just black males. When I worked in child welfare, a lot of the black males I encountered wanted to see their children and contribute positively to their lives. But the women that bore their children would do everything in their power to keep the children away from the fathers. Not to mention the number of women I met who have four children with four different surnames. It's trendy to blame black men but I'm not convinced they're even most of the problem, much less the entire problem.

Again: why do we expect whites and blacks to have similar per capita outcomes for interactions with police when they don't have similar per capita numbers of interactions with police, don't have similar violent crime rates, and live in dissimilar neighborhoods when it comes to police presence?
