I did read them, but it smelled like an agenda piece. I’d love to see a larger study examining similar houses in same neighborhoods. It’s the only way to have legitimate comparative study and meaningful conclusion. Saying everything it a race thing then finding some examples isn’t scientific or conclusive.

And worse, it’s probably not going to actually help fix some of the very real disparities. It’s like claiming every time a poc is pulled over it’s racist. How often can an officer even see the driver when the decide? I saw something the other day that said poc get in a higher rate of traffic accidents thus infrastructure is racist. it sort of reminds me of ancient tribes that were so ignorant of the world, every time something bad happened they defaulted to gods are angry.

Proportionality is funny, it seems to be used only conveniently. thus are you suggesting the proportion of money distributed by race favors a certain demographic? the data in this link disputes that and says poc household many times more like to receive benefits. https://www.nap.edu/read/9719/chapter/8

Is this disparity for the same home, same level of up keep in the same neighborhood with same same schools and same access to amenities and same level of crime? So in other words there are two nearly identical home across my street, on poc owned, one white owned. You are saying if both put their house on the market, simultaneously the market would assign a lower value to the poc home?

Seems like a pretty straightforward question about an assertion…. Take the opportunity to elaborate and educate! I’m interested in learning this too

Is that a baseball bat made out of a football or a baseball bat used in football. I’m asking because I have very different visions of respective usefulness.

It feels good to finally figure out the bad apple that’s been screwing it up for the rest of us. Maybe if we just ostracize the oppressive person we can get on with normal life .

yes, a contradictory problem. That’s the role.

interesting thought process. I’ve always viewed racism as a tool used to manifest power over a group of people. I believe it’s bourn consciously or unconsciously from externalities not internally from an individual. With exception; like if you are a woman frequently abused by males perhaps you grow to think all males are abusive as an example. But even here it’s external that resulted in this individual view. People who want power point to a group as the enemy or inferior, instantly granting their own followers either righteousness or superiority. It’s a mechanism to manipulate the tribalism of human nature into power over them. It is unfortunately this same personal belief that makes me unable to accept religion. I also reject that it can only be a majority construct. I guess maybe a majority in a vacuum is necessary, like a Closed online chat room hate groups with only their band of haters allowed or something. I mean if some group decides they want to kill all people who don’t believe their religion or look like them aren’t they demonstrating race based hatred? Also if one of the pillars of racism is that smaller group shouldn’t be able to take from our larger group, it seems odd the majority would fear the minority, who as a whole likely possesses less in aggregate. in this case I’d more expect the minority to be ’ists’ against majority because they have more of everything… right?

Decent chart, tough to measure as you even have variation amongst journalists. I also think it morphs over time. Bloomberg went way left then has made its way back recently. im surprised New York post is considered close to center. Newsweek has stuck me as more centered.. AP though, they reported Trump daily every time he tweeted or said something dumb and it was scathing rebuke. They were very critical of the administration. ok fine his administration was historically terrible at messaging just to make one aspect. And there was plenty to criticize. But Biden is barely covered and the gaffes aren’t getting headlines. No critical commentary on comments like “latinx aren’t getting vaccinated because they are afraid they will get deported.” That’s a major AP headline if the president says that 6 months ago. Little about all the main topics being hammered last year. that’s why I tend to grab sources from all over that chart. Also when I see a likely polarizing story I then search the other side for same story. I’m always surprised what the AP omits. I mean today’s first two stories under politics are about the ex- President. Aren’t they tired of writing about that doooooosche?

This lady..? The one that quit a week before being kicked out by voters, to go be a lobbyist and that is being investigated by the FBI for corruption? 🤔 https://www.google.com/amp/s/belatina.com/analysis-mayor-carmen-yulin-san-juan/%3famp odd role model.

Did you see this excerpt from that site?

I figured the dems would be celebrating that building collapse as a political win any moment now.

Pension??? Again what planet are you living on?? besides who are you to judge? B-mans friends might pay more into the federal government in any given year than you have for your entire career. You don’t know.

If by old fart conservatives, you mean people at peak career income that want less of their income stolen… yes that aligns with the handful I know doing it. Who wants those people that form the tax base? Good riddance! true on the last one, they probably are caring about their own family’s self interests, like every human innately does. Relax bman, we’ve been topic adjacent the whole time. 😂

That’s been my impression, but I’m not too woke….. it might be some evil billionaire conspiracy to make republicans rich

That’s what I’ve been TRYING to tell you! Cost of living varies drastically by location. I’ve found the champ though. Check out this sweet pad.. you can live like a king with all that savings. No way bidenflation can make this one run too high https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/312-Lalor-St-JYD7GE3DV-Trenton-NJ-08611/2078384613_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare

This is the problem with the entitlement mentality… I had a millennial who was doing an awful job, always goofing off, low effort, late in early out, look me in the eye and tell me my job was to make sure he got into the cycle of getting promoted every other year like this other guy that was a brilliant phenom superstar, working constantly and basically running the division. he was like… “I’d like you to tell me what I need to do so I can make sure I get promoted every other year..” I said “you could start to care?” lol…

So…. riot or no riot?

You missed that earlier Chef. The gov declared cost of living to be the same everywhere.

This is true. I used to think them impartial, but I’ve started side by side reviews of headline positioning and story content, they are aligned with cnn and msnbc

You think entry level minimum wage earners should be living in palaces like that? Yeah we are never going to agree on this. You clearly have some high end taste.

That place is beautiful. Nicer by far than anywhere I’ve lived. Too bad bidenflation made it so expensive.
