Is White Privilege Real?

[rexlunae]

Hypocrite.

No.

 

[ok doser]

He was inspiring, he spoke of hope, he was humble, and smart. And his beliefs and his priorities aligned closely with mine.

i'm sure that trump supporters would say the same about trump


except for that "humble" part :chuckle:



maybe next time we can choose somebody whose merits include experience

 

[Angel4Truth]

How did they do that?

Not explaining scientific method to you - did you not attend high school? There are tons of ways to do it.

What did they ignore to get the results they want?

Some probably would. I'm not sure optimism is what motives the bulk of them, but some I'm sure find him very inspiring.

You realize that doesn't contradict what I said, right?

except for that "humble" part :chuckle:

Yes, I suspect that's a bridge too far even for his most loyal.

It's always nice to have. But I vote on character more than anything else. I'll take a new, fresh face, with the right ideas over a grizzled, experienced operator with bad ideas any day. Experience you can buy. Inspiration has to come naturally.

Provide the complete test criteria they used, their initial hypothesis, all parameters of the study and then i will critique it and tell you exactly where there are issues, ok?

Ive already stated 2 possibles not discussed.

 

[glassjester]

How did they do that?

They didn't. Not in the study itself. But the NPR interview didn't tell the whole story.

So you don't know any of that and yet you are confident that they ignored stuff to get the result they want?

That NPR was disingenuous in what they stated and left out of their article? yes.

100 percent confident.

Interesting, isnt it.

 

[ok doser]

obama, as state senator, voted to continue the practice of allowing the murder of babies born alive during an attempted abortion


that told me all i needed to know about his character

From the actual study:

However, findings of the current study revealed that the impact of race differed in high and low income neighborhoods. Given the study methodology, drivers were merely observed and no inter-action took place regarding their decisions to yield or not yield.Therefore, we are unable to determine the nature of the bias.These findings are significant for pedestrian safety overall in that drivers yielded less often in general on the high income neigh-borhood street. One potential explanation may be that drivers are not as accustomed to observing pedestrians crossing in the high income neighborhood compared to the lower income neighbor-hood, as higher income individuals are more likely to travel by private vehicle (U.S. Census, 2014). The authors can only speculate on this, however, as overall pedestrian traffic in each neighbor-hood is unknown. Another factor for overall less yielding in the high income neighborhood may be the difference in road design,as the high income neighborhood street consisted of more vehicle lanes and a higher speed limit (45 mph compared to 35 mph). The higher speed of travel may make it more difficult to observe and yield to pedestrians in a timely manner. It is unknown if yielding differences would have persisted if this was not the case.

 

[glassjester]

Interesting, isnt it.

Yes. It would seem, as the researchers suggest, that more research is needed to conclude anything.

 

[ok doser]

NPR smelled a story they could sell

Why do you think they smelled that? Liberals are propaganda loving lemmings?

Why do people never bother to just read the actual study?

Because they have itching ears that tell them what they want to hear instead.

I don't think it was being presented as proof of anything.

Yeah, well... first the racist Australian bus drivers, now racist Las Vegas drivers.

Neither study actually "proved" what their media coverage (NY Times and NPR, respectively) purported.


Still waiting on TH's favorite bit of evidence...
