racial profiled someone

[FitnessBrat]

Well she marked it down to $20 for me. Now, you know what your getting for christmas this year. I have a whole closet full of those kits...lol Just kidding I didnt buy any but I felt bad for not buying anything.

I'm alright with that. I had one of the guys use the product on my hands once, lol. And no, I did not buy any. :)

Racial differences exist, with blacks disproportionately represented among homicide victims and offenders.

From 1976 to 2005 --

86% of white victims were killed by whites
94% of black victims were killed by blacks

That is your opinion, and while you are certainly entitled to it that doesn't make it correct.

We could start another discussion on the how and why, many books have been written and hundreds of studies completed on that topic alone.

As I said earlier the statistics are there if you choose to read them. They're not popular and they force many to question what they believe to be true, but.....there they are.

We will agree to disagree then. I do have some experience in social science research, and I maintain that statistics isolated from context are misleading.

People that believe this kind of crap are so stupid. Individual attacks within the United States are performed primarily by groups and people native to the country. Thus Bigscotts entire reasoning for his actions were flawed. There is no new data to suggest that actions like those taken in the middle east against "American interests", which IMO, many shouldn't even be there, are increasing within the countries physical borders. ie the lower 48 hawaii and alasaka. That is a scare tactic used by government to justify its ever growing hand.

The sheer number of deaths shouldn't matter, because 1 is too much.

OP - I really hope that you deep down are NOT proud of the actions you took. I wouldn't have condemned you if you had just followed the guy and apologized. Put in his position, as if due to your size (seeing as I have read some of your posts) and your general demeanor if you had been profiled in any way you probably would have reacted in a worse manner than the guy you profiled. However, that the exceptionalist American attitude we carry as a people. That is the thing most disgusting about the country...I really can't believe your proud that you blocked someones view and treated someone like that. :rolleyes:

If you intelligently interrogate the statistics you would see that inconsistencies in sentencing laws, poverty, and lack of education have more to do with the prison population than race does.

Wow.

Decadecadeca, are you seriously suggesting that blacks are blacks have a greater genetic propensity than whites to commit crime, i.e. the cause is NOT as mindstar indicates, related to the social and educational circumstances that blacks disproportionally find themselves in?

If he had a bomb strapped to him what would/could you of changed? Being closer to the blast?

Some people don't understand the world, its okay to take a step away.

Tip toeing around is different than following someone around when hes looking for his child because you misunderstand the way Muslim extremists execute attacks on America. What is even more different is your lack of respect for the man and your demeanor when confronting him, your lack of respect for other people in your society, and the unapologetic nature with which you live your life. It doesn't say much about the attitude of Americans and it is really the kind of attitude that doesn't lead to progress.

while i agree with you 100%, as stupid as he sounds, he may have an unintentional point. that point is tied to hormone levels. statistically, black men have much higher "aggressive hormones" such as testosterone then other races. now there are a million other different factors, just point out something.

maybe he was making sure his kid had the bombs strapped to himself correctly so they went off when he hit the detonator :drunk:

hey scott, chris would talk to you just like that to your face too! ahahahaha

[Shibby]

NewbieChris, I really hope you are still around on this board when you become a father. It will be interesting to see the transitions you go through.

Personally I laughed my balls off at the Arab story but I personally think standing in everyone's way when videotaping was a little fucked up. If some dude was standing in front of you while you were trying to see your daughter you would have asked him to move.
