Hey, don't drag me into this endless discussion and don't hate me because I like big penises. Yours is probably difficult to find even with a microscope.
And MuAgonist and I are NOT trolls. We just don't like bigots. 😀
I tried to refrain from debating in this topic anymore but I just couldn't. Favoritism bleeds through your posts. I see you conveniently ignored my point that Asians are getting the short end of the stick academically. Apparently, you think it's fair for someone to have their grades undermined and to end up not getting in a higher level of education, solely based on the color of his/her skin. But no no, don't nobody dare touch the AA, as their blood pressure might go up and affect their future.tn4596 wrote:
Yeah, you are driving to the MCAT exam, or to the hospital where you are the chief of surgery, when you get pulled over by the cops who are suspicious of someone of your color driving a nice car in that neighborhood. I know, you've already told me that the cops only pull people over when the driver is doing something wrong.... Fact is, they just might suspect that the Mercedes you are driving is stolen... How does that effect your blood pressure, your timing in getting to where you need to be, your peace of mind. And if you try to go the humble route and drive an old beater, you are going to be profiled because nice people in that neighborhood don't drive those cars.
1) cops are not everywhere
2) cops are not actively trying to pull over black citizens out of spite, they probably have better things to do
3) tinted windows
You realized that you just made up a very specific hypothetical situation to rationalize your correlation? A black person was driving normally to his very important meeting. Coincidentally, a racist cop happened to be right there at the right place and position to see said black citizen driving his expensive car and decide to pull him over. This one event somehow raise said black citizen blood pressure,traumatized him which then somehow limit his ability to advance his career, maybe because he missed that one important meeting or bomb his one important test that he can't retake?
That's nice. I will play too. Question: how does a squirrel limit my future career? A: During my important meeting/presentation/whatever, a squirrel decided to sneak into the room that very same day and sabotage everything. Why couldnt it sneak in to my office any other day? My career is ruined.
I have heard of black professional women walking through hotels in certain cities being stopped by hotel detectives who suspected that a black woman in a high class hotel must be a hooker. How does that make you feel if as you are checking into a hotel for an interview the next day or to present your research at an annual meeting?
1)Again with the specific situation. How can said hotel survive if their detectives gave hard times to every single black persons who come there. Also, if I was in that very situation, why not just check in to another hotel, this is a very simple solution.
2) how can you be so sure that this incidence occurred solely because of the color of a person's skin? Also, life is tough and unfortunate things happen to everyone, not just blacks.
3)You also assume that many applicants and I have mental strengths that are equivalent to snow flakes and would be deeply traumatized from such experiences. "Those detectives thought I was a hooker by a mistake, so I broke down in tears in the middle of my presentation/interview." If a person cannot deal with such inconveniences, how would they perform when faced with critical life or death situation as a physicians? How can they deal with difficult patients?.
There well may be a reason why hypertension and the health consequences of it are more prevalent in the African-American community than in whites and it is not related to genetics (not seen in genetically similar populations elsewhere in the world) and controling for weight, smoking, and sodium intake.
This statement imply that society are discriminating toward black people in such a wide scale, which is hardly believable by itself. This somehow cause blacks population to faces health problems. Idk where you draw the correlation but :Yes! Blame society and blame the oppression!
You realize LizzyM is going to find out your identity and ban you from all schools right? There is actually is some logic to what she is describing. Living a life of greater stress could lead to hypertension.
Black women who are lawyers or doctors are not leading a more "socioeconomically" stressful life than a white girl with no high school diploma.

Thoughts as I watched the video:
1) They say health outcomes are better for those with higher education (such as doctors, lawyers, etc.). According to the "social justice" crusaders, then, we owe it to every man and woman to be entitled to a Doctorate degree.
2) They throw out a statistic that blacks have higher infant mortality rates than whites, when adjusted for income level, education, etc. Since they are "social scientists" and are unable to advance a credible theory for a medical phenomenon, they fall back on the intellectually lazy thesis that it is a "social milieu" that causes the "inequality."
Final note: the video looks like it was made for a 4th grade class. Are you an elementary school teacher? Otherwise, I have no idea how you stumbled upon this.
