Originally posted by vindicktive vinny this is simply not true with things like minimum wage.
i mean by setting minimum wages the rule supply/demamd has already been subverted, the question is why minimum wages arent set at y and z level but instead at a and b ?
surely there must be something better that we can use to set wages other than supply and demand. it is within our moral obligation to do so.
Pretty simple. Minimum wage laws were set so that mexicans and niggers couldn't drive down the price of white labour. Actually, I mean idiots. I'm not racist. Idiots are willing to work for less than the value of their labour, and as such drive said value down.
Where I live, minimum wage is now 14$C an hour. Trades fresh out of high school pay 18-20$C an hour. Minimum wage really only applies to teenagers, fast food, walmart, etc. Compared to the states however, that's bad with the current dollar rate.
Norway technically doesn't have a minimum wage. This is so they can pay peanuts to the Polish and Lithuanian strawberry pickers. Expected wage fresh out of high school is 20$US an hour for stuff like gas station clerks. -

Originally posted by Obbe I don't doubt it, all I said was the systemic racism contributed. I don't know why you call it invisible, it was blatantly racist abuse.
Despite the reference to one decade, the Sixties Scoop began in the late 1950s and persisted into the 1980s. It is estimated that a total of 20,000 aboriginal children were taken from their families and fostered or adopted out to primarily white middle-class families as part of the Sixties Scoop.[1][2]
20k. That's all. There were probably a million natives who grew up during that time period. Of them, 20k had abuse, drug addicted, or parents incapable of taking care of their children. Those children were adopted out to white families who could take care of them. Chances are their suffering would've been much worse if allowed to stay with their parents. There's a reason we have child services, and we're generous enough to extend this service to the natives who largely don't even pay tax. Not to mention the numbers are fudged because if you were adopted, you're going to claim "PTSD" so that you may get a compensation! -

Originally posted by Kev so you admit that humans effect on the climate is virtually zero?
there is a cause for the earth warming, its called increased solar discharge. needless to say, nothing people will do will ever compete with the effects the sun has.
Doesn't matter if humans have an effect on the climate. Dinosaurs likely had an effect on their climate as well. Oh ya another lifeform that has an affect on the climate - trees! -

However we'll see. I'm still hoping for an all out war with China. Those fuckers need to be submitted. -
2020-08-08 at 4:59 PM UTC in Scientists Predict There's 90% Chance Civilization Will Collapse Within 'Decades'It's like when scientists are doing the dating in antarctica for finding out how much co2 was in the atmosphere. There's carbon dating, and counting seasons. What if there was no snow for a season? Or a million seasons without snow, but it remained frozen? All their dates could be off, not to mention to temperatures.
There's absolutely zero evidence of which direction our climate is going on. -
2020-08-08 at 4:54 PM UTC in Technologist: let's have a 'constructive conversation about systemic racism'Not to mention, of course all the survivors claim to have PTSD. That's like a Jedi claiming to have lost 11 uncles in the Holocaust. Or a senior center reporting a 97% Corona Death rate. You get a huge fucking payout.
Of course they all got PTSD there. They'd likely have PTSD growing up anywhere. -

Originally posted by Obbe As an example many of those who attended residential schools have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, suffering from such symptoms as panic attacks, insomnia, and uncontrollable or unexplainable anger. Simply stating that other groups also have problems doesn't change the fact that the documented systemic racism experienced by these groups contributed to their problems.
Not uncommon for ADOPTED children to have higher rates of suicide, drug abuse, etc.
Natives couldn't take care of their children, so the state had to. Thus they faced the same treatment as all children of the state.
You're making the assumption that it was because of their race, nevermind the fact that they were poor savages that needed civilizing. Can you imagine the state of Indian Affairs if not for residential schools? Are you aware of the rates of PTSD where parents neglect their children? Are there any other factors other than "invisible racism" that it can be attributed to?
Originally posted by vindicktive vinny each and every different culture have their own definition of what 'successful' is.
stop being a white supremacist and expect everyone to adopt white mens definition of what success is and is not.
r u a biggot ?
Same definition as a successful animal species, or that of a successful disease. Spread and conquer. -
2020-08-08 at 4:38 PM UTC in Google: BLACKED Edition
Googling white inventors makes google ask what white people have done for us, in a big sarcastic headline from BBC, then goes on to show a bunch of images of coloured inventors. As if they're insinuating white inventors are of no more importance? Then there's a few mentions of racism.
I googled white inventors, not black racism. Google's had an agenda for years. -

Farm land, silly. There's more land around 60 degree north than there is around equator. It would open up Canada and Russia to become multi billion people countries. -

Originally posted by Speedy Parker So sentences for one form of a drug being different for another form is somehow racist?
Yes it's akin to if during prohibition they gave you 2 years for OE and Colt 45 while gave you 2 weeks for Old Milwaukee or Pabst.
Actually, wait, no that's not racist. That's beer-ist. But yes drug laws have been used to keep the POOR man down, not just blacks and women (who tend to correlate with poorness). Crack is poor man's coke, not black man's coke. -

Originally posted by Obbe I never said anything about George Floyd.
You are right, certain members of certain tribes have been able to become financially successful. But many of them struggle with drug addiction and mental health issues, and the systemic racism their communities experienced as a group did contribute to those problems, as demonstrated earlier in this very thread.
Please, they'd still be living in teepees. Majority of their infants would still be dying of before growing up. We brought them civilization. At the moment many choose to self segregate on their reserves. Many choose to live off the res too. And you can see the difference in the success of those that do. The natives who surround themselves with natives are unsuccessful. It's a problem with their culture, not ours.
