@@thecaynuck Yeah, that's not right if Doctor Curry advocates genocide. I'd like to see you prove this, however. Show me where it's at? Why haven't you? Because, if true, this would mean: 1. Curry is stupid and should be retired immediately, or 2. Is he a homicidal maniac no? In either case, he needs to go now. Wait, there's more; for A PROFESSOR, especially threatening even one individual, never mind advocating for us to kill ALL WHITE PEOPLE, THIS is a BIG DEAL. So, could you back up what you say here or remove it and apologize profusely? I understand that Dr. Curry felt that his life was in danger which caused him to leave "his" country. So, now that you have a couple words to question your integrity and intelligence, please let us hear from you IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your comment --- statement of fact, opinion, or belief system. We need to find out how someone could make such a statement believing it would go unnoticed. Touche. Hahaha

Wow, this professor has opened my eyes. I was taught in sociology about racial femenism - black women were pictured as being at the bottom of the social heirarchy, and i never questioned that until now. Also a really important contribution to the discussion around color blindness. Learning so much from this man Even more impressive that he told me all of this in one unpunctuated sentence 🤯

@@northa3617 yes we're opposed to it bc no one is operating under this definition. Feminism has been co-opted by misandry and racism. It's about control and destroying men.

My black grandson was baptized in the church, became an acolyte, his mother joined the choir, and church women said we would like him to go to the church school with their children, so we applied for the 6th grade, and he was rejected, saying he was a behavior problem. I don't know how he could be before being in the school, but if true don't you offer some kind of help? The worse part was the silence, no one said they were sorry he was rejected, I believe it was because they knew why. I later asked one of his teachers, a white male. and his answer was we still have racism. I did get a call from the rector, not the headmaster, saying it wasn't because he was black. Again, he didn't say he was sorry he didn't get in, just don't badmouth the parish, I later send an Email with Matt 18: 6, then received a nice letter saying to change my membership. I love the Episcopal Church and want him confirmed, but don't dare risk him again. The good news that in his current school he is getting all kinds of awards. The principal just took him out for lunch the other day. To be estranged from the church and being afraid to take a grandchild to church is not pleasant. Where is the Episcopal Church welcomes you for him? Pax Christi.

Ugh ok...is it possible that racial disparities are due to a COMBINATION of factors? That perhaps historical/contemporary discrimination is responsible for some portion of the disparities we observe, AND that "pathologies" or maladaptive cultural norms are responsible for another portion? Is it possible that different disparities (of which there are many--wealth, representation, incarceration, etc.) are due to different levels of discrimination vs "pathology" vs historical codified racism and its ripple effects...? If not, how do we know that? What's the empirical evidence demonstrating the extent of, say, present-day prejudice on racial disparity in the US?

@Dr.Speller Жыл бұрын

Oh, visit academic journals & primary sources and you will find evidence to support claims of present-day prejudice/discrimination as well as arguments for historical implications for present-day circumstances. I really don't understand the need for folks to so quickly retreat back to some sort of cultural deficiency argument. Also curious from where folks think the geneses, or at the very least the inflammations of these "pathologies" or "maladaptive cultural norms", come.

Skin tone only tells us where our ancestors lived from the equator. Someone who believes skin tone matters more than individuality, perpetuate "racism". We are all human, weak humans find ways to find value from external identity, materialistic value, instead of internal, individuality. Not any different from a bully picking on someone for wearing a hat, or shirt color. "words" used to trick you to feel like a victim.
