All_Pro_Bills Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 40 minutes ago, Buffalo Timmy said: And this is the definition of intentional ignorance. The rates are not related to color of the person but the areas risk. If it was due to the color of the person someone would simply price the product better and get all the business from that area. My insurance rate is awesome because I live in an extremely safe area while my brother lives in a higher crime area and his is higher, is that because of his color? The best part is my area is much more diverse than his area. You hit on the central theme of the game played by the advocates of "race is the root cause of everything". What the advocates of attributing all disparities to race do is ignore and dismiss, w/o examination or consideration, other correlating factors and statistics that can better explain a condition or disparity in a more logical manner. Factors like disparities in income and education can explain poverty rates. Facts like there are more white people living below the poverty level are facts that need to be conveniently ignored or discarded to support their conclusions that racism is the cause of povety among minorities. And these facts cannot be allowed to enter the conversation. A fundamental flaw with their thinking, assuming the genuinely want to solve the problem, is that if you operate with blinders and continue to identify the wrong root cause of a problem you'll never fix anything. That's what we've had with all the social programs and plans of the past 50 years. Not addressing the real causes. And what's the answer today? Do more of what's not working until it works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could you not out your boss to HR for that type of comment? It’s not only unconscionable it’s illegal. Most companies have whistleblower mechanisms nowadays. also I don’t think anyone is saying people don’t irrationally group together and hate other people. Im a norther and experienced hate in the south, of me, because i was a yankee.. or Catholics probably hate me, because I don’t subscribe to their beliefs.... people of all different skin colors hate others of the same. It’s disappointing that one specific type of bigotry is the excuse for everything. That’s why diversity and integration has always been the best answer.

It doesn't take too many steps from anyone anywhere in the country to find racism....cold and crystal clear racism. if you think or pretend otherwise...you are wrong. I guess it all depends on your definition of racism. Which to this point in our national conversation has yet to be defined. In my view racism is taking deliberate action to harm another person based on their appearance and race and genetics. While words and thoughts can be hurtful I don't see those meeting the threshold of tangible harm. And I don't think it proper to seek to regulate and control the thoughts in each person's mind or the words that come out of their mouths. And while I try to respect and value everyone that's my personal choice. I don't look to impose my view of morality on others.

Most folks are used to showing ID for all sorts of things today; air travel, surgeries, hotel stays, even tobacco and alcohol purchases. It would be extremely racist to think most black folks don’t already do these things or are somehow less able to do so than others. If everyday security measures are appropriate for common activities, it’s certainly acceptable for National election security. Would you want remote unmonitored drop boxes used for say, a Union election? Unrequested mail- in ballots? Bezos and Amazon objected to those when their employees were voting on unionization.
