Society does define what is attractive and acceptable, practically by definition. If you deviate you just have to be strong enough to deal with being unattractive or unacceptable to a lot of other people.

For real though, that lady pointing the gun at people with her finger on the trigger was over the line. You don't aim at someone unless you're prepared to shoot, and she was clearly not there. If she feared for her life she wouldn't have been out on the lawn. I hope she gets off light and takes some firearms training.

Born gay is one thing. Racism is a learned behavior.

You got that backwards. Science has never found a "gay gene". There are a handful of genetic markers that might make a person more or less likely to be gay, but environment seems to be the big deciding factor.

On the other hand, racism could be distilled scientifically as in-group preference and pattern recognition. Both of these things are hard wired. In-group preference makes you more likely to help and defend people who look more like you versus those who don't, because that increases your chances of propagating your DNA. Pattern recognition means if you a lot of black dudes being criminals, your brain starts to think of all black dudes as potential criminals. In that sense it is learned, but it's more about empirically observing the real world than about society conditioning you.

I grew up in the south and always saw it as a symbol of rebellious and southern pride, never about slavery or white supremacy.

A statue is a historical relic. A flag is a living symbol of the state and its people. If they no longer feels the flag represents them, then they should change it. The timing is unfortunate... probably should have changed it a long time ago.

I've been hanging out on r/news last few weeks, throwing out red pills. Mostly get buried in downvotes but I don't give a shit about internet points. Just trying to disrupt the hive mind. Sometimes you find common ground and make people actually think.

IANAL but that doesn't sound right. The police do an investigation and write a report, but only a prosecutor can file charges. Seems like normally it takes a couple days, two weeks is way long.

They also don't tell you that during almost the exact period as the Atlantic slave trade, there was a booming Mediterranean slave trade, where Muslims kidnapped white people in Europe and sold them in Africa.

They've practically forgotten Hitler already. Don't you realize US slavery was worse than the holocaust?

IQ is not a test of education, it is a test of mental capacity. You could think of IQ as a bucket and education as how much water you put in the bucket. No amount of effort is going to make a small bucket hold as much as a big bucket.

The improvements in average IQ over time are likely due to better nutrition and better living conditions in general. Environment does play some role in IQ but it is independent of schooling.

Blacks started disproportionately poorer due to slavery and Jim Crow. They were making strides until the 60s. Democrat policies hurt all poor people, but because blacks are disproportionately poor, they are disproportionately affected.

Also, not technically a Democrat policy, but neo-Marxists have indoctrinated blacks into believing that they are victims, that they have no agency, that nothing is their fault. That mindset is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

None of that rules out biological or cultural factors, but it's hard to deny that liberals have a hand in it as well.
