  • I'm probably racist, because I believe in this research.

    But am I racist if I believe that black people are athletically better than any other race?

      this everything sounds to me like a doctor who gets a cancer patient that has cancerogenous pains
      and just describes painkillers against the pains instead of administering a chemotherapy to combat the cancer because he thinks that the chemo therapy is too expensive and it cannot be 100% ensured that the chemo defeats the cancer.
      Better educating children and such has proven not to solve the problem. It's not a matter of being too expensive and maybe not working. It's definitely not going to work, and we already do it and pay for it.

      • Is it racist to assume that asians are usually shorter than other races?



        This is all so confusing.

        I am probably racist and I dont even know it...

          And I am sure you have this proof handy and are about to show it to us?

            Only if you don't let white guys try out for your team.

                You didn't know that white people have better jobs, or you didn't know that more money has been spent to educate black children?

                  So, in your logic, if I make a compliment out of a generalization, its not racist....but if its not, no?

                  This makes no sense...

                  Let me see;

                  Black people are usually better athletically than white people = Not racist
                  White people are usually better intellectually than black people = Racist.

                  Wtf.

                    Well that world doesn't work like that. People don't work like that. So do you have a real objective?

                      But couldn´t it be that you don´t spend enough money in it?

                      I maybe mistaken, but from the outside it looks like the USA has a massive problem with those slums in the inner cities, with even some regions where it is dangerous to enter.

                      I never have heard of problems with such a magnitude from industrialized countries that have a welfare network that has a higher density than the one that you have in the USA and which therefore of course also spend more money on it per capita (and I think that may be most of the modern industrialized countries worldwide)

                        I would argue that the world more or less does work like that. Generally speaking, companies are going to hire the people they think will do the job best, and universities are going to accept the students they think will best represent their school. There are exceptions, of course, and there are problems with these systems that mean it won't always work like that; but in general, it will.

                          You can believe however you want. It's better to know yourself and how you believe. Racism is what you do.

                            Money spent on education does not equal education. There are some serious cultural barriers that are self imposed by the black community and can only be removed by the black community that are holding them back.

                            I realize it is easier for people like you to try imposing external solutions on a group rather than holding said group accountable for their own success. Unfortunetly for you there are millions of individual examples of when individuals of any group, no matter how disadvantaged, take responsibilty for their lives and choose to succeed they do.

                              Yes, making slums a better place to live is much better. But people are still prejudice, and no money you spend will change that.

                                Another point to consider is private education. Money spent on private education is mostly being spent on white kids, given the economic disparities that exist in the United States.
