Model and actress attacked and hospitalized for being white

The Smollett thing was widely covered in the media because he is/was a well known actor. Nobody knows who this lady was, so obviously it isn't going to get the same sort of coverage. People get beat to shit every day and it doesn't make national news.

 

Come on man
Certain body types are suited to certain sports. No one is denying that different body types exist and come from certain parts of the world
But even with the sports thing, its deeper than just "black people are better at bball." There's likely an underlying cultural component with sports too. Like chinese girls and gymnastics. Yes their bodies are well suited to the sport but there's also a cultural component in that they're worked harder than gymnasts from other countries.
You can always find multiple factors if you're willing to think critically and dig in a little.
But even if you ignore all factors except race, these are harmless stereotypes.

Whereas what drives someone to crime is an incredibly complex topic, it's really irresponsible to ignore all the other factors that play into it. And as I've already pointed out, this was the backbone of the eugenics movement and is therefore a really dangerous philosophy to espouse unless you're willing to provide substantial evidence. And as far as I know, no substantial evidence exists to indicate an entire race of people is more prone to crime than another race.

 

So... in what kind of a way. What are you thinking of when you state this in relation to your original point?

 

I don't know how it may of benefited them. What we call a crime today may have been beneficial for them and seen differently in the past but still be in their genetic memory today.

 

I actually never heard of Smollett before his hate crime hoax. He wasn’t that big of a name in the entertainment industry. Getting more media attention and growing his name recognition was one of the many motives behind his publicity stunt.

Just because you’ve never heard of Jennifer Agostini, that doesn’t mean nobody knows who she is. There is a big reason why some stories are more reported on than others; to divide and distract us.

 

Ah, it sounded like you had something specific in mind when you stated that, but its just a loose thought. Got ya.

 

Maybe they just think white culture is shit.

 

Same with certain outlets and users on social media. Which is why some people have a hard time taking you seriously when you state your problems with how biased mainstream media is, but then almost chronically share and use internet news sources that are at least as biased (they just target a different side/audience).

 

American mainstream culture may be shaped for a large part by white europeans, but it is far from only 'white culture'. White culture on itself also means different things to different people (even if they're all white ). So if you're referring to a particular mindset or system that white people seem to dominate I'm not sure that is best defined as 'white culture'.

 

White people decided that they're the best long ago, and it's been left to other races to either assimilate or suffer the consequences.

Personally, I can understand why people hate American culture, which is white culture. Even if you introduce elements from other cultures, it's all coopted into something that doesn't threaten white people, who are very strict about what is threatening. Until it comes to genocide for oil.

 

Also if everyone could stop winking at me, that'd be great.

 

I see how you got there but I can't help but disagree. Yes, people dislike typical american consumerism, but that's indeed (one aspect of, albeit an important one) american culture, not strictly white culture or white american culture. American culture has had for the longest time indeed a white dominance, but alongside the social progress and emancipation of other minorities that dominance did decrease. Jazz, blues, fast food, opportunistic trading deals, etc. etc. its all predominantly american now. Not only white or black

 

Jazz...lol. You know who listens to jazz? Affluent white people and their uncle Tom's. It's all coopted into a version of itself that keeps white people at the top. White people decide, and that ain't no lie. And more often than not, corrupt white people who diddle little kids like trump and bill clinton.

If you watch CBS, america seems wholesome and perfect. One day they'll refer to this as an age of everything plated with gold with a sick, immoral underbelly.

 

I know. But jazz undeniably is black in origin. So that's already one aspect of american culture that hasn't been particularly white or black for decades. It's simply primarily american.

 

I agree that is likely. But it won't be defined as white culture then either, I expect. As it isn't. White americans have dominated the nations culture, yes. And that's still noticable in todays culture and society, true. But that dominance in culture is withering, merging with other ethnicities. You can clearly see this in how extreme right white americans are reacting to it. They feel or portray it as such that the equality other ethnic americans get goes at the expense of their own. But it merely goes at the expense of their historical dominant position, not their rights or own cultural heritage.

 

I think the very basis of Christianity that white America is founded upon is what's neglected. It's just too much work to help someone when you know they're in trouble. And the whole idea that we're a really caring nation, as is described by our media, doesn't ring true for me. It's pathetic, but I know for a fact that people aren't concerned with the less fortunate because I've lived it. Give up everything and live your life in service to the needy...that's Christianity...and it's never been attempted in the least bit. At the end of the day, white America is happy so long as it's made the fortunate happy.

 

Now you're not reading my posts

I already told CloudyMushroom if that he is solely pointing to genetics he is oversimplifying the issue.

I know white kids who played basketball damn near daily growing up and loved the game, so I'm not really sold on it being solely a (sub)cultural component as to why 75% of the NBA is comprised of African-Americans. You notice when boys hit puberty, all of a sudden you see many of the Black kids are able to dunk while very few of the white kids can. I would like to see a sociology study on that... This type of stuff provides a basis for me to think that there is probably a genetic component. When you say "certain body type" isn't that essentially synonymous with a genetic component?

On that basis, I can understand why someone might attribute other things, whether good or bad, to have a genetic component to them.

 

This comes from your mind, not mine.
