    Yes indeed. And that is because the truth and the facts can sometimes be, frightening, but we must never blame the messenger for that.

    Exactly. Since you already made that mistake here, now there's no chance I can make it too. So, thanks.

    always gonna be example of racism, white people experience it too - is this black privalage

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ams-victims-for-tots-black-men-fear/25604929/

    "LOUISVILLE — Jordan and Tommy Gray's 3-year-old daughter was watching SpongeBob Squarepants when two armed men broke into their home near Buechel on March 21, 2013, and robbed them at gunpoint."

    the point is, it's as wrong to blame all whites as it is to blame all blacks for this judges actions

    if that was a black child that feared white men cause of a white man that tried to harm his family, woudl this judge of done the same? or thrown the book at him? and not scolded the black parents like he did the white parents?

    yes, racism comes in all flavors and sizes, we should all be against racism, not blame it on an entire race

    Want to solve poverty? Don't be poor. Your life; your choices.

    Though I have pity and sadness for the hopelessly incompetent, and the neurotically impaired, I have much greater compassion and admiration for the ”no excuse” achievers. Don't you?

    Well, this ”subject” sees poverty as the responsibility of those living it. And whatever the ”cause” of poverty; robbing the successful and ambitions won't solve it.

    The difference between heuristic learning and a formal education or book smarts as you call it interests me.

    There have been major contributions to science and engineering and even math made by people with very little formal education.

    Thomas Edison had 3 months of a formal education, elementary education.

    Edison's elementary school teacher called him a dolt if you can believe that and as a result his mother withdrew him from school.


    Leonardo Da Vinci had no formal academic training yet many historians and scholars regard Leonardo as the prime exemplar of the 'Universal Genius' or 'Renaissance Man', an individual of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination"

    He conceptualised concentrated solar power, an adding machine and the double hull. He invented the automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire. He is also sometimes credited with the inventions of the parachute, helicopter, and tank

    Michael Faraday had no formal education yet is often regarded as the greatest experimental science to have ever lived. He invented the first electric motor in the mid 19th century (among other things) that is still used today.

    The wright brothers had no formal education yet they invented the first airplane competing agains teams of people with PhD's and grant money

    and on and on and on
