Black Slave Owners - 10 Most Famous - Have Fun With History

Some people are astonished to learn that black slave owners existed in the United States. While white people controlled the great majority of slaves in the United States, a tiny minority of African-Americans, particularly in the South, were able to acquire or inherit slaves. Some...

And?

Something CRT mysteriously failed to teach me.

Solid evidence, if any was needed, that you were never taught CRT in any capacity.

It seemed pretty clear to me that Oleg was just having a little fun, regarding his comment on CRT.

OK, that's how you took it. The rest of us saw no hint of "having fun" or an attempt at humor and took him to be expressing what he really thought CRT was about. I must have missed the smiley.

Those stats can't be right. Maine is very diverse -- it's well known to have the highest proportion of any state of Supernatural-Americans -- and it obviously has the most telekinetic-girl-and-sewer-clown-on-schoolkid violence.

LOL

Connecticut is the 3rd lowest in violent crime (2019) and 14th on diversity.

New Jersey is 5th lowest and 4th highest in diversity (same links).

This is the problem when one's education and intelligence is parsed together exclusively from headlines.

One might consider some other variables, like population density, generational wealth and income, access to guns, and scarcity to name a few. Urban centers with issues related to these variables might have way more violent crime than counterparts outside urban areas within the same state. Interestingly, a place like Alaska has a lot of violent crime and property theft but low population density...the other variables like generational wealth, income, access to guns, and scarcity may be higher than other states.

Regarding NJ, there is an interesting paper here:

New Jersey Fact Sheet: What Caused the Crime Decline?

New Jersey spent $1.511 billion on corrections in 2013. At the same time, crime in New Jersey dropped by 66 percent from its height in 1980 to 2013.

I skimmed the beginning. It is most interesting that policy and economic conditions create enormous sways in crime outcome. I see some similarity to Flynn effect here.

You're right. I'm of the age when we were taught to treat everyone as an individual and not as member of a group. We weren't taught racial grievance. I feel so deprived.

Crime is low in Maine not because it's the whitest state but because it's the oldest...

I'm of the age when we were taught to treat everyone as an individual and not as member of a group. We weren't taught racial grievance.

Then why do you keep doing it?

 

[Elixir]

We weren't taught racial grievance.

You weren’t taught anything about critical race theory, nor have you learned anything about it on your own - obviously. It’s not racial grievance.

I feel so deprived.

As well you might. But of greater concerned is the harm that your “deprivation” can cause others.

 

[Politesse]

weren't taught racial grievance.

Is this meant as a joke? Every fifth post of yours is complaining about some imagined racial grievance, including this one.

Nobody is taught racial grievance. You learn it from observing the behavior of people you grew up around, and you reinforce it by immersing yourself in rightwing propaganda.

No white male outrage

Lots of white male outrage

It is like we aren't supposed to noticed how fucking racist and misogynistic they actually are. If you notice... you are "woke".
