1- Nobody should have to embrace European culture. European culture is not superior to any other culture. Don’t be a Eurocentric moron.

The point was to embrace a culture of family and learning of any kind instead of a white cracker culture.

2- America cannot be racist because of Obama? Are you 5? Things got pretty racist back then with people accusing Obama of being a Muslim terrorist and wanting to see his birth certificate because they didn’t even believe that he was American. Also, as soon as his term was over Americans elected a racist fascists that enacted pretty racist policies that made lives of black people harder.

I think that a Obama becoming president means that black people that apply themselves can do anything. I’m curious what racist policies you believe Trump enacted. I am not a fan of his, but if the Muslim country ban is one, it was specific to countries that were known to be harboring terrorists. The media made it worse than it was. The whole border wall thing was silly in terms of the imagery of an unnecessary literal wall, but the idea of having border policy and protection is important to any sovereign nation. There are racist people in the US, but that doesn’t mean that the system is rigged everywhere.

3- What kind of logic is that? Just because some black people do well doesn’t mean that systematic racism doesn’t exist. That is like saying that because some Jewish people didn’t get killed the Holocaust never happened. Or like saying that because some native Americans survived, the American Holocaust didn’t happen.

Systemic racism happened during Jim Crow, but ended and we all moved on. There are plenty of examples of black people that moved on to generating wealth because their families chose not to have a victim complex and embrace education and work.

You keep spewing the same bullshit right wing rhetoric.

I like to play devil’s advocate. I think many black people do this to themselves. The cycle needs to be broken in > poorer neighborhoods. I think that this requires more education and community activity funding, better community policing practices, and less no strings attached handouts.

Here is some starter reading material for you about what systematic racism.

I read White Fragility. It was terrible. The concept of the white overlords and privilege only applies when you are in the deep south. There are pockets of racism, but they don’t define the country. Officers need to be better trained, but black neighborhoods need to be policed too. Perhaps if the black neighborhoods were less dangerous, the officers wouldn’t be on edge.

Median African American Household Wealth Will Reach $0 by 2053

Everyone is feeling the recession. Things costs more and it’s hard to save. This is not a uniquely black thing.

Discriminatory housing practices are leading to the devaluation of Black Americans

Houses that are expensive are expensive. They are not expensive to deter black people. Not everything is about putting down black people.

Black people nine times more likely to face stop and search than white people

Black people commit far more crimes. They should really stop doing that.

Wrongful convictions disproportionately affect Black Americans, report shows

This happens because black people tend to be in the wrong place at the wrong time a lot instead of at home with their family or on a family outing or at school or the library, etc. Then they have a victim attitude towards the justice system and fail to work effectively with their attorneys like little stubborn children.

Black men sentenced to more time for committing the exact same crime as a white person, study finds

Black people are about 7½ times more likely to be wrongfully convicted of murder in the U.S. than are whites, and about 80% more likely to be innocent than others convicted of murder, according to a new report by the National Registry of Exonerations.

Statistics don’t always tell the whole story. Their could be repeat offenders confounding the data.

I do have black friends. They are smart and do well for themselves. They are proof that there isn’t any remaining systemic racism. We had a black president for goodness sake. Their families embrace the white European culture instead of the white cracker culture. They were raised to value an education and apply themselves. That doesn’t always happen.

As someone of Jewish heritage, my grandparents got off a refugee boat with no money and many dead family and dealt with systemic racism as well, however within one generation we are all living comfortably enough to not loot stores and do other dumb gangster shit. I feel like there is something else at play. Jim Crow ended in the mid 60’s. These people had practically a whole lifetime to catch up. It’s a cultural issue. They have shitty values. Not everyone, but a lot of them. Playing victim or criminal does not fix the problem. If they want respect, they should earn it like everyone else. I don’t respect looters.

Maybe you are not thinking about the capabilities of AI fully there are ones that are enriched with recent data, so your can ask it about recent events. Also, I do ask it about historical information, so it is nice to have that available.

It’s moreso an archive of historical knowledge. Thinking it just answers Pokémon questions is shortsighted.

They literally are saying that it is like this every summer. The other excuse they use is that we shouldn’t be forced to do something when there are countries that pollute worse. The other argument they provide is that climate change policy affects poor people the most, so they claim that it would be unfair to them if we enacted any of it.

How to not be an asshole. If everyone mastered that, I think the world would be a great place.

#1 I’m almost 40

This goes against everything that the NYT preaches in terms of saying that the press is under attack and needs to be protected. AI consumption or news content makes the news more accessible. Their paid articles don’t overlap with what ChatGPT is doing. This is really a bunch of old people getting butt hurt about tech they don’t fully understand.

An underground gymnasium. Not a dinky one. Moreso what you have in a high school. A whole bunker facility would be nice as well.

There was a global supply chain shortage due to COVID. This meant that the demand for everything backed-up. This was compounded by people having more time at home and potentially more money to repurpose from services to goods, so the shift also drove up demand. When there is more demand for goods than the amount available, the cost of goods sold goes way up until you reach a threshold where people are forced to buy less or go broke. This is the elasticity of demand. Their is a point where certain goods are no longer appealing in price or affordable in general. It’s really bad when these are mandatory commodities like food.

This runaway inflation is always dealt with in the same way. The central bank raises interest rates for their notes/loans that they make with the banks across the country. This makes consumer and business loan interest rates rise, which makes them less appealing and also staves free cash flow, so people have less money to spend from loans, but potentially their salaries might be affected as well. This has the benefit of forcefully lowering demand. Whenever demand goes down, the cost of goods will start to go down. During the lull of demand, the supply chain can catch up as well. This is not the first time interest rates were raised to fix runaway inflation. Over time, interest rates will go back down again. It is cyclical.

One difference though is that the government is also in a cycle of under-regulating and over-regulating business. At the moment, we were promised more monopoly-busting and cracking-down on driving up prices in a collusive manner to fight the fed’s deflationary tactics and attempt to make windfall profits. Meaning, whole industries are not supposed to band together behind closed doors and agree to not lower their prices. That is called collusion and is supposed to be illegal. As long as that keeps happening, interest rates will keep getting hiked. The current administration seems to have more of a tolerance for this than they should. If things are going to shit, it’s due to this type of corporate cronyism with the government.

Additionally, you have outside actors like China who are buying up land and businesses and contributing to the turmoil in clever ways like making housing and food less affordable.

Reparations for the Holocaust were only given out under certain circumstances and did not cover everyone that deserved it. I know because my grandparents were survivors. People in certain ghettos got it and not others. It was not well implemented because refugees were all over the place. Reparations for slavery are ridiculous at this point. What we need is better education and mentorship in low-income communities regardless of race.
