Заметки алкоголика и придурка

JewYorkTimes raksta Faces of Power: 80% Are White, Even as U.S. Becomes More Diverse.
Te kāds indivīds tviterī bija papūlējies iedziļināties mazliet niansētāk:



Par (((2%))) populācijas, kas nebūt neieņem disproporcionāli dominējošu pozīciju (konspirācijteorija) medijos un izglītībā tā kā skaidrs. Pie tam interesanti kā šajā toplistē neatrodas vieta baņķieriem un finanšu oligarhiem. Laikam pamaz ietekmes.:D
Kas liekas interesantāk - melnie disproporcionāli daudz starp policijas iecirkņu priekšniekiem un apgabalu prokuroriem. Paver jaunu skatu uz "sistēmisko rasismu", īpaši ja ņem kontekstā ar atspēkoto "baltie policisti nēģerus šauj biežāk" mītu.

Just look at the 2015 Justice Department study of the Philadelphia Police Department.
It found black officers were 67 percent more likely than white officers to mistakenly shoot an unarmed black suspect.
It also found that Hispanic officers were 145 percent more likely than white officers to mistakenly shoot an unarmed black suspect.
The study didn’t address whether lowered hiring standards are responsible for those disparities.

Vai Black suspects more at risk from black cops

"In a democracy, politicians are inherently incentivized to create an ever more socialist system, because it means giving more power and money to the government, i.e. politicians. This is why there is not a single democracy since all those revolutions started that has become more conservative, and also the reason there are always laws enacted that take liberties away (Patriot Act, Notstandsgesetze), but never those that give liberties.
Thus, they are also inherently motivated to create a socialist schooling system, which will produce citizens that accept losing ever more of their liberties to ever more powerful politicians.
This is also the reason they implement policies (and schooling) that pushes the anti-family agenda, because a person with no strong family ties is much more dependent on the state.

This does not mean that every politician acts according to these incentives, but on average and over time, the outcome will always follow the incentives."
