How can him, or me, as I pretty much agree with most of what dayboul said, parrot ideas of someone I have never watched nor cared about?
did anybody ever mention you?
You'd say the same to me if I shared my opinions first lmao. I'm legit just asking so can you please answer instead of being the tRoLl you like to be?
The arguments dayboul is making have been popularized by Peterson. It's a pretty safe assumption to make that he's watched some of his content and is now parroting what he's heard from him.
I doubt you'd be typing the exact same arguments Peterson has made without being familiar with his arguments. What dayboul has been writing just reeks of Peterson and he's not even denying it.
Fair enough, though I'm sure I'd use very similar arguments, as I verily disagree with having someone to force me to call a biological woman a man or vice versa.
I do realise the world isn't black and white and that this might be an extreme but at the same time I believe all this violence against black people is an extreme overblown by media as well.
You're 2.5x more likely to get fatally shot by police in America if you are blackNow now, I know people LOVE to bring up the fact most of this is done by blacks themselves, but allow me point something out. Every single ethnic/racial group in America that has faced discrimination, gentrification, marginalization, and inequity follows the exact same path of activity. Italians? Yep. Russians? Yep. Irish? Yep. Jews? Yep. Chinese? Yep. Turns out most of the violence occurring amongst said groups, was disproportionately committed by their own people. It's nothing new.
Furthermore, all of the groups I just listed, suffered or continue to suffer by the hand of the US government and certain subsections of the intergrated population. The government-funded death squads during the Contra War even funneled cocaine across the border, much of which ended up in minority communities that still have profoundly negative impacts on them, nearly 40 years after the fact. As a result, the only feasibly way they could provide for their families was through illegal methods, primarily organized crime. Does this justify their crimes? No, but they weren't exactly given any other choice. They do not, by any sort of reasonable measure, have the social and economic opportunities that other groups benefit from. They grow up in lousy environments, are taught under a severely underfunded education system, and have next to zero ways of advancing to the middle-class.
The most ridiculous thing to come out of this whole debacle is the absurd notion that somehow being black inherently makes you more prone to acts of violence. Black on black crime? No shit pal, segregation may have ended in the 60s but that doesn't mean the races started to magically intermingle with each other. Of course they are going to similar rates of violence when they all live relatively close to each other. Speaking of crimes rates by color, where are the discussions revolving around white on white violence? You know, the most common demographic that makes up the majority of criminal activity? Oh that's right, I forgot we can't make it an issue because it does not serve its purpose as a wedge to further complicate the already overwhelming issue of American racial disparities! Who would have ever guessed that in a mostly segregated society, people will commit crimes against their own ethnic group, within their own municipality, instead of towards those that are outside of it? One of the more bizarre aspects is the usage of black crime statistics as a method of diverting attention from the rampant acts of misconduct committed by an unrestrained police force tripping on power.
If you want to take this to a national level, the orange protofascist and his posse of cultists certainly aren't helping with their racially-charged rhetoric directed at minorities. You can't expect to address these problems with any sort of validity when you DENY that the problem even exists. This isn't even a race problem anymore, as some of the more cognitive-lacking portions of this nation have actually convinced themselves that wearing a mask during a pandemic is a sign of ideological conformity.
We could also discuss how the RCMP has a bad tendency to beat the shit out of First Nations peoples.
Studies from the CCA indicate, and I quote, the following:
• Indigenous Canadians are 11 times more likely than non-Indigenous Canadians to be accused of homicide.
• Indigenous Canadians are 56 per cent more likely to be victims of crime than other In 2016, Indigenous Canadians represented 25 per cent of the national male prison population and 35 per cent of the national female prison population.
• In 2016, Indigenous Canadians represented 25 per cent of the national male prison population and 35 per cent of the national female prison population
Of course, most Canadians will respond will the classic "not as bad as America" deflection to avoid any sort of uncomfortable conversation. Oh well!
