Movement Question
Say Country 1 has units A and B and Country 2 has units C and D. What would happen if A supports B to C, and C supports D to B at the same time? Do the moves cancel out, or does B move to C (dislodging it) and D moves to B?

"Yanik systemic racism is real. You literally tried to claim black people are just committing more crimes. Which EVEN IF TRUE still doesnt account for massive disparity in incarceration rates"

i said racism exists, i simply said that the disparity in the prison system isn't 100% due to racism. much of it IS due to black poeple committing more crimes.

he number of crimes reported follow close in hand with the number of crime arrests, for homicide, rape, and a series of other crimes. this is true for black populations, white populations, and hispanic populations

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2015/crime-in-the-u.s.-2015/offenses-known-to-law-enforcement/expanded-offense

https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/fssc06st.pdf

so... what does this mean? Well, in cities where homicide rates are high, if a murder is reported and the suspect is said to be black, this happens just as often as the number of times a murderer is arrested as black.

so for your claim of "systemic racism" to be true in the justice department, then we would expect to find crime reports (filled out by all races) to be different from crime arrests, showing the police are profiling.

But instead, the numbers are quite consistent.

So, is the systemic racism in America, black people reporting that blacks commit crimes? Another statistic that also goes out the window in these talks is that very fact, in black communities, it's often local residents calling in the crime (duh).

Another statistic is that most police in heavily black communities tend to be black. communities, hire from within the community, duh. thus the proportional populations are seen in arrests.

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1540-6210.2008.00905.x/full

this is a hilarious study claiming that black officers racially profile black men more often. what the study doesn't consider? the data behind reporting, ACTAUL crime rates, AND the fact that black officers tend to police high-black areas more often, because: that's how geography works when you police your local community.

this is not to say that racism doesn’t occur, but ALL disparate is not racism. Trying to figure out how much of the disparity is racism is an ongoing, and not clear, problem

listen, racism does exist in policing. i am not denying that. but i also think that using the term "systemic" is too vague and is a generalization towards cops as a group.

furthermore, you STILL aren't giving me sources brain.

if you know that blacks are being mass targeted and this whole system is causing it, then the best way to solve it is to convince people through solid evidence that this is happening. CONVINCE ME! give me a source... give me something to work with here

If i have the time i will, but as for stopping mass incarceration, legalization of drugs, and more oversight of policing, i am for ALL of that. harsher sentencing for cops found racially profiling. Good. body cameras, even more oversight, legally required transparency by police departments

@Brainbomb

you've only shown me a statistical discrepancy. Why are there more black people in prison? here's a quick hint: on average, they commit more crimes. Now before you call me racist, let me back that up real quick.

the number of crimes reported follow close in hand with the number of crime arrests, for homicide, rape, and a series of other crimes. this is true for black populations, white populations, and hispanic populations

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2015/crime-in-the-u.s.-2015/offenses-known-to-law-enforcement/expanded-offense

so... what does this mean? Well, in cities where homicide rates are high, if a murder is reported and the suspect is said to be black, this happens just as often as the number of times a murderer is arrested as black.

so yes, i can explain some vague statistics Brain.

There is a disparity. How do you not understand basic math
JamesYanik (548 D)
25 Sep 17 UTC
(+1)
brainbomb, just because there is a disparity, does not mean ALL of the difference is racial profiling. there is quite a bit of evidence to suggest that per capita there are higher crime rates among blacks in America. This, to some extent, is being reflected in the incarceration rate.

this is not to say racial profiling is not also inflating those numbers. look at the 538 article i referenced, they talk about the problem too, inasmuch that the FBI doesn't collect enough data to make solid data on this.

My whole case is that because the crimes reported by citizens run roughly in line with crime arrests, that it's not *solely at least* a problem of an overly racially discriminatory police system that is causing the disparity in incarceration rates.

That does not appear to be the case. He appears to have shot himself in the leg off the pitch, presumably because he's a FUCKING MORON! With an illegal weapon. While drunk. In a nightclub. Sheesh.

There does not appear to have been major tissue damage. Perhaps the 2 years he rightly spent in jail for the incident dulled his edge?

You guys are only now getting Yanik? When he said that trans people were whiners for speaking out against being targeted, that was enough. The whole rushing to the defense of white supremacists because protesting is terrorism or something made it shockingly clear. Now he is arguing that systemic racism doesn't exist despite the mountains of research showing that the injustice system is racists from top to bottom

Does he need to go full Rhinos before you guys get it?

I'm playing as Germany and I have 6 supply centers, 5 units and no build phase. I'm also curious if the game didn't register a capture of a supply center.

Hey guys I'd appreciate it if you could recommend music that's helpful for studying. I ( like many) find it difficult to concentrate on immediate concerns like getting physics homework out of the way or starting a paper on whatever subject. I've tried classical music and it helps though some classical music I imagine is better than others for this. If you can recommend artists I'd appreciate it.
