Tragic. And the audacity of the killer to lie and use the trope “I feared for my life” and saying “she was trying to kill me” from a mother and neighbor KNOCKING on the door with children next to her. UnFbelievable.
Ajike Owens’ children were playing in a field near an apartment complex when a white woman yelled racial slurs at them and said to get off her land.
The children left behind an iPad which she stole. When one of the children came back to retrieve it she threw it at him and hit

Saying “whatever the intention” ignores the historical systemic and institutionalized racism that this policy was predicated on. Policies must change with the times, but let’s not get it twisted.
@eyeslasho
Why not a different perspective: if disadvantaged groups are scoring lower, what do you think might be happening at earlier educational and developmental stages. Smarts for tests aren’t the single indicator of intelligence.

You don’t need to be in your 20s. Tokyo/Japan countryside is hands-down the best place to be in this lifetime. Safety, civility, beauty, amazing food. And you don’t need money with abundance of good people/nature.

waiting on your answer this question. In the USA, when was this the case? And how do you account for deep (sometimes generational) disparities causes by social, political and economic inequities? Btw, many academic institutions already provide 100% free tuition <$80,000

That doesn’t explain disadvantages faced during early development or in elementary level resource differences. You’ve patently ignored my question.

See the comments of people here in this thread that have more sense than you. Everything you say is wrong. This has to do with council rules to prevent injury and city liability, has nothing to do with DEI, and we are all glad you aren’t in charge.

My elementary years were in a mixed neighborhood in Michigan; there was no crime at all. At that time, each family had good jobs, that’s why. There are “dangerous” white neighborhoods in Boston (because of socioeconomic factors). I didn’t automatically feel safe in those areas.
@eyeslasho
I do understand the subject: don’t be presumptuous. You don’t know my discipline or background, and this isn’t your field of expertise. Just because you fancy yourself being able to interpret data (well), doesn’t mean your interpretation or all empirical possibilities are known.

It was clear what was happening to you for anyone that uses Grindr. The fact that you pointed out that he requires pics but feels he doesn’t have to share his until he *confirms* he likes you or you’re worth chatting to is common and annoying (rude) behavior.

So genocide (in Europe), colonialism and chattel enslavement (USA) for 250 years and the formation of a caste system, manifest destiny (displacement and murder) apartheid (until it was abolished)… these crimes don’t count as “violent crimes”?

Discrimination isn’t always “conscious” (the point people are making that you’re obfuscating). And ‘just because’ there are incentives (your earlier point) also doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

It’s ironic that on Easter people feel motivated to spew and stoke hate. I thought I’d never see the day where by coincidence two things fall on the same day, people see it as an opportunity to hate on a group of people, make up a narrative that doesn’t exist. It’s so saddening.

He’s arguing “semantics.” By maintaining there’s no (supposed) government-sanctioned “anthem,” he’s only making himself out to be a culture denier. Not a good look. “The song exists”<— yeah, it does, and it has cultural significance as the “anthem” for a community.

A lack of comm skills on that date all around: probably the real issue is that they didn’t find each other hot enough—he didn’t care enough to make sure she understood more about him, and she didn’t care enough to ask. Her income complaint is a decoy. She wasn’t attracted to him.

It’s *not* in the title, the chart isn’t showing that data, nor does it show white on white. Because white on white and black on black crimes are the majority of crimes.

Exactly, Dan. It’s odd Paul quotes an inaccurate and incomplete NY Post (not the source CNBC one) article to make this specious argument. Also, job postings don’t mean anything when all job postings have dropped this year across all areas.

Last time I checked, Asian Americans weren’t enslaved for over 250 years in the USA. But, who am I to say that the obvious point of your tweet is that you feel these two populations have equivalent historical experiences in the country. What a strange response.

I’m confused: when did this conversation since 1865 been *only* about the NBA? And since when has the historical laws and policies within the USA affecting its citizens been about the % of folks in the rest of the world?
@eyeslasho
And let’s add the lynchings…we don’t even know the true number because most weren’t recorded (it didn’t matter, those lives didn’t matter) and before 1882, you could inflict violent crime on Black peoples with impunity.

Wrong: redlining by definition would have to happen to white more because the purpose of redlining was to create majority white districts to increased electoral representation and eliminate potential political power from Blacks. This “whites were more affected” is a fallacy.

The disparities created postwar in education, wealth, housing, access to financing, and jobs are all just one generation ago: this is our grand- and parent’s generation, the Boomers. They are still alive. They fought through the racist implementation of these policies.

No we don’t have to confine our discussion to the USA because many of our corporations our global, have global teams distributed everywhere and these teams work together and human capital is interdependent. So, no. I disagree.

In fact, just a few years ago, women in Japan outperformed men on medical school entrance exams BY FAR, so the university admissions office actively discriminated against those women and rejected them from spots in the class en masse giving it to men. Why: bc women get pregnant.
@Hughost_Chavez
@uncommonRob
@eyeslasho
And white men. And given most homocides are intra-racial (look it up), as a white man, you’re more likely to be murdered by a white man. So, this racialized fearmongering is odd. A killer isn’t motivated to kill *because* of someone’s race: most homicides are among known parties.

You don’t have to qualify the judgment by taking a shot at terms/sentiments such as “woke” or even suggesting payback. There have been so many injustices: let’s be glad this one was recognized.
