It seems that around 30 black people who were attending the party where four black men are suspected of shooting black activist Sasha Johnson, refuse to give evidence to the police. That is the most bizarre conclusion that could be drawn from that particular piece of information! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I treat "conclusions" in studies much the same way as op-eds in newspapers. It's hardly the only study to create data that strongly suggests that women have a preference for care/other people and men have a preference for "things" though. Pick another if you don't enjoy the author of that one's style Essentially, after all the wordiness of that file, and its conclusion, I wonder what you think it taught us that we don't already know. It bandies between 'sex' and 'gender' in its descriptions- two different things? I wasn't too bothered by the style of the author, bar the frequent grammatical errors in the file itself, it was also a tad exhaustive. What original information and statistical benefit there is from that study is debatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they have no faith in the police, or they were involved, or they didn't like Sasha Johnson, or they did like the suspects, or any other multitude of things that isn't "They don't care about black lives". 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What original information and statistical benefit there is from that study is debatable. It's a meta-analysis. So not so much new information, but a useful collation of existing information. The statistics look pretty clear from where I'm sitting but perhaps you don't agree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith brief Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 So referring to a white person's skin colour in a derogatory way isn't racist? Goodness me..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gammon is more a pinky red, not white. You need to educate yourself. You can't be racist against a white person. That just wouldn't make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
