We're there.
Nope.
We were talking about income disparity. You say it's due to institutional racism. I suggested some ways of releasing black prisoners from prison, and ways to generate enough money to pay for increases in minimum wage, which would impact poor black people more than rich whites.
That's a plan.
I suggested that if some of the IQ difference in blacks comes down to health issues-- poor nutrition, disease due to parental drug use, etc. we should address those problems aggressively. I said that any IQ improvements due to such programs would likely increase productivity, meaning the investment would pay for itself.
That's a plan.
Think I'm a racist? Fine. Think "we need to improve productivity" is codeword for "niggerz be lazee." Fine. Think addressing health issues is meant to be a substitute for combating racism in the workplace? Fine. I think you're fucking dumb for any of these positions, but fine.
I will literally give you ANY point you want. And then, I will ask you the same thing-- what, other than name-calling and blaming, would you actually DO to improve anything? How would you STOP the racism? By shouting me down in an atheist forum? Really? That's the best you've got?
Come on, dude. Let's talk solutions, here.
