If it was solely the "welfare state" then the same problems would exist wherever a "welfare state" existed. Study after study has shown that wealth is a greater predictor of "success" than ability/intelligence/opportunity etc. "Young people who are minorities, or from the working class, or low income who are talented when they are young -- they don't make it to the finish line,” Carnevale said. “That is, this study goes all the way into the labor market, and in the end, the loss rate of these young people is huge." By looking at years of data from different sources, the Georgetown researchers found that smart poor students are less likely to become wealthy by age 25 than not-so-smart rich students. The poor students also have less chance of graduating from college than their low-performing wealthy peers." "The study also found that racial disparities magnify the problems. Poor black and Latino students who are smart, are less likely to find success than their poor and smart white peers.

The police woman in that video has a serious attitude problem. ‘Are we telepathic to know you have gone for a GPS cycle ride with your family’. FFS , what a fantastic way to diffuse a heated situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Without googling does anyone know how many US police were murdered in 2019. In 2019, 49 alleged offenders were identified in connection with the 48 law enforcement officers feloniously killed. Of those offenders, the following characteristics are known: 28 of the alleged offenders were White, 15 were Black/African American, and 1 was Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander. Race was not reported for 5 of the alleged offenders. (See Table 42.) And of the 48 cops killed... By race, 40 of the victim officers were White, 7 were Black/African American, and 1 was Asian. (See Table 15.) That compares to... The police fatally shot 9 unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to a Washington Post database... My guess is you wont have heard of the unarmed white victims of the police and you certainly wont have heard of the cops themselves killed. No race hustle to be made in their deaths so they are effectively ignored. Edited June 29, 2020 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 1 hour ago, ParisInAKilt said: Bit of a strange thing to point out? It was a comparison to unarmed people shot by police. So you harmonise the statistics. "the police fatally shot 9 unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to a Washington Post database..." 0 unarmed police were killed in 2019 It was 1098 people killed by Police in 2019 and 48 police officers were "feloniously" killed. Incidentally 41 police officers were killed by accident. There are rules in statistics if you don't know them then it might seem strange. If you do it doesn't.

I found it interesting that he was questioning why he has to wear it because he doesnt want to be associated with the far left or far right. Its surprising to see anyone with a TV career question this. Edited June 30, 2020 by vanderark14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
