I especially liked his deep thoughts on the nature of correlations. Today I learned, nazis have a poor grasp of elementary statistics.

The general thrust seems to be, "how dare you bring this up?"

Well, we didn't bring it up. We had no choice but to respond, because leftoids forced the issue. Leftoids constantly bring up Black poverty, and other Black problems, and thrust them under YT's nose. They continually blame these problems on Whites.

Then when Whites defend themselves by, essentially, saying "we didn't 'break' Blacks - they're made that way," Leftoids say we're evil racist haters.

It's a lot like having a guy born with a gimpy leg drag you into court for breaking his leg, pointing out to the judge that his he was born with that leg, and having his lawyer howl about your "bigotry." I.e., it's like watching a pack of sociopaths attack you for profit.

If leftoids didn't want YT to point out that Blacks are born "broken," they shouldn't have blamed all Blacks' failings on us. If they didn't want YT defending himself, they shouldn't have dragged him into court with a frivolous lawsuit.

Leftoids, when you find yourself in a hole, the first step is to stop digging; drop your lawsuit.

It should be obvious that leftoids have made "racism" (assault with sharpened facts) against blacks a moral duty for all just men (not just YT). A just man can no more desert YT under these circumstances than he could our analogous defendant; it's his duty to go into court and testify the defect is congenital.

P.S., "correlation is not causation" isn't really saying much. If every fifth little green men from Mars pulls out his phaser and disintegrates a human for no apparent reason, nobody's going to care much if his green skin is "causing" the behavior; the green skin simply serves as a warning.

And the main way to make black people look good is to blame all black people's failures on white people.

And when given more freedom and power, black people frequently use it to attack white people.

So pro-black movements usually end up being anti-white.

"The other important thing I learned about the Panthers: They weren't anti-white; they were just pro-black."

Where they are differentiating between the two themes?

Yet when it is a white person talking anything even remotely perceived as "pro-white" they are immediately demonized as "anti-black" racists as if the two are synonymous?

That is merely one fallacy of the DWL mindset of which this book's author seems to be afflicted. As well as his use of "Whitey" in the title. Which is dubious, considering if a book were titled "Listen, Blackie" it would elicit howls of racism. Both are coarse.

Absolutely right. Whatever the causes, the stereotypes are true. Racial profiling is rational and therefore good and therefore not "racist" (assuming "racism" is, by definition, bad).

As for the causation of the correlation: since (a) race is statistically the best indicator of violent crime levels in an area, (b) virtually none of this correlation is due to poverty, unemployment, or lack of education, (c) the racial crime gaps persist when you control for socioeconomic factors, and of course (d) blacks (e.g.) are and have been much more criminal than whites (e.g.) everywhere they are found in the world and at all times in recorded history — since all that is true, we're at the point now that one cannot reasonably deny that genetics plays a role.

Try that on for size, you f****** grouchy racists."

Correlation does equal either causality (in unknown direction, and perhaps indirectly), causality from a third factor, or coincidence. Fortunately you can easily calculate the chance of something being a coincidence. And with a large enough sample size, the chance of a coincidence is tiny enough to ignore.

So if you don't think that race causes crime, that means you think that crime causes race, or that something else causes both crime and race, or that it's an amazingly improbable fluke coincidence.

I guess you must be thinking that crime causes race. Maybe I should go out and commit some crime and watch my face change shape, my hair change its texture, my bones change their density, and my skin change colour.
Posted by Black Power White Power]]> Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:43:16 -0800 The Stranger true, but: when something causes something else, there will be a correlation between them. we rely on your caveat to note that # of letters in a team name doesn't necessarily create wins, even if we find a correlation between # of letters & team wins (even if the correlation is p < .05 or whatever). it's just another caveat to consider rationally, yo!

Blacks from wealthy families (>$100k annual income) score lower on the SATs than whites from the poorest families(<$10k annual income).

According to the stranger blacks have low IQs because of poverty, but that statistic completely contradicts that wouldn't you agree?

Here's a statistical tidbit for you:

Correlation does not equal causality.

Try that on for size, you fucking grouchy racists.
Posted by Anonymous Commenter]]> Tue, 28 Feb 2012 10:53:08 -0800 The Stranger
It's partly that. I think maybe it's also partly other genetic personality characteristics (eg. agression) that cause both crime and poverty, although perhaps only when combined with low IQ.

And of course, crime is one of the main causes of poverty. Businesses don't want to set up in high crime areas, and fail when they do. They don't want to hire criminals either. And the saying "crime doesn't pay" is actually true. I think most drug dealers make less than they would working any honest job.

"The questioner" never capitalises the start of sentences.

Stephen74's posts don't directly address the content of the article, but more the general theme and feeling of it.

"sealous" has strange line breaks in the middle of sentences and has about one paragraph per post.

"unamusementpark" (aka Unamused) who wrote the flyer and the website this article mentions, writes well and with perfect formatting, but can't resist adding pictures of kittens (or gratuitous french girls or slutty fairies).

And I write lots of long comments directly addressing parts of the article or other comments, but censoring the article's swearing. And I use paragraph breaks and capitals.

David Hollister writes a lot like me, but with lots of precise numbers and dates, rather than my tendency to only remember the general trend of the figures and forget the figures themselves.

"Pithy Name" calls everyone trolls and sockpuppets (incorrectly) to avoid addressing their irrefutable arguments, but knows how to use capitals, unlike danceofdays and jamaican-suppremecist.

"danceofdays" ignored the whole racism angle unlike everyone else.

And lastly, "jamaican-suppremecist" actually addressed our comments (but badly and with no capitals) unlike everyone else, and attacked both sides.

So they are clearly all different people.

In 2010 blacks made up 13.6% of the US population per the 2010 census. Their total numbers were 42,020,743 (including mixed) per the same census. According to the 2010 FBI UCR blacks accounted for 53% of known homicide offenders, or 5,770 of the 10,870 known. Taking all the numbers we've just learned we can conclude that the murder rate per 100,000 people of the black community in the united states is 13.73.

On the other hand in 2010 whites (including hispanics) made up 75.1% of the US population per the same census. Their total numbers were 223,553,265 per the same census. According to the same UCR whites (including hispanic) accounted for 44.6% of the known homicide offenders, or 4,849 of the 10,870 known. When we take these numbers into account we can conclude that the murder rate per 100,000 people of the white (including hispanic) community is 2.16.

Thus it is ultimately concluded that blacks are 6.35x more likely to commit murder than whites (including hispanic). How's that for quasi-intellectualism?

Have you ever actually looked at the crime rates of both of those countries? Granted Bermuda isn't nearly as bad the Bahamas, but their crime rates are still very high.
Posted by David.Hollister]]> Mon, 27 Feb 2012 07:06:37 -0800 The Stranger
You have come a very long way. The president of your white Western country is now a half-Kenyan from Indonesia. The immigration system is now dedicated to supporting non-white invaders, and reducing US Americans to a minority in their own country. And every educational, media, corporate or government institution has uplifting black people and suppressing white people as their primary goal.

But don't forget how you came so far. It wasn't by fixing any of the problems with black people or Mexicans or creating any peace and racial harmony. You succeeded only through violence, intimidation, silencing your critics, and taking over the system.

So it shouldn't suprise you that the statistics about black crime (and other disfunction) are still there, and a few brave intelligent people risk their safety and careers to get the truth out.

The only ways you can stop race realist "wacky s***" from "going on" forever are to actually stop black people from committing so much more crime, to stop black people from performing one standard deviation worse on all academic assesments, to stop black people from being hired and promoted ahead of more qualified people, to stop black people from abusing the welfare system, to stop black people from attacking white people, etc.
Posted by Black Power White Power]]> Mon, 27 Feb 2012 00:44:11 -0800 The Stranger Your book has a very obvious agenda of promoting and celebrating black violence and threats of violence against the white society that uplifts and supports them.

"There's a book called The Shadow of the Panther by Hugh Pearson. He's black. I don't know him, but it's obvious from reading his book that he decided the Black Panthers were bad guys and he was going to write a detailed but very biased history."

The Black Panthers were bad guys, and it's impossible not to notice that when you're writing a detailed history of them. In general detailed histories are more informative and accurate than informal chats with your friends about their music while ignoring the events. And Black people can get away with telling the truth about Black people, but white people are forced to tell politically correct lies.
