It shows the conditioning that we get growing up.

There's always social conditioning among humans, chimps, etc. We're a tribal species.** It's how We, the People deal with the conditioning that matters.

If We seek to oppress certain human traits, that's bad IMO. OTOH, if We seek to use those traits and divert them into a positive direction, that's good. You know, like Judo.

Consider the young male desire to fuck any woman, willing or not. Is it best to punish any who express the thought of fucking anything on two legs? It shouldn't be, but sometimes it does seem too many people are seeking to stop human traits by force instead of diverting them to more positive endeavors.


**is that why chimps landed on the Moon and not Humpback whales?

If we are truly honest with ourselves (and by ourselves I mean us over 30 to 40 years old), we'd recognize that we have conditioned racism in ourselves against black men, whether conscious or not.

Let's take this as an example. If we see a white guy walking through a construction site, we'd be saying, "Meh. Maybe he isn't up to anything bad."

But a black man? :thinking:

See we have remnant racism still left today.

With all fairness here APL, I take it you have not been on many constructions sites.

I have. Been working construction sometimes for extra cash and to work out and get some tan. LOL.

OOOH. I forgot two things. Free beer and food at lunch!

ATLANTA — A federal grand jury has charged the three men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery with federal hate crime charges.

The grand jury in the Southern District of Georgia handed up the indictment on Wednesday.

Travis McMichael, his father Gregory McMichael and William “Roddie” Bryan are now also being charged with one count of interference with rights and with one count of attempted kidnapping. Travis and Gregory McMichael were also charged with one count each of using, carrying, and brandishing — and in Travis’s case, discharging — a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.

Are the hate crime charges justifiable in this case?

Hopefully 'Roddie' dumped the bangs in jail.

Not really. He was simply jogging. The tape is out there. The nonsense about him being on a construction site is exactly that. So what?

He did what I've done several times in my life. Walk into a house under construction and check out the framing. I believe there is video of him getting a drink of water from a hose in the past.

If it was a white or an Hispanic man jogging in a nice neighborhood and he looked "suspicious", would they have done the same?

I believe there are records of their discussions re. the black guy. They might have also called 911 before they murdered him.

Vigilantes, as it were.

Zimmerman types.

Obviously it's in his best interests to roll on them...
...as Trump's White House staff and Insurrectionists are finding out. It's called "Let's Make a Deal!" LOL

The Gaslighting Effect again from Trump Fans. They want you to believe as you are told, don't ask "stupid" questions. :laugh:

Agreed. McVeigh was nutty but he died like a soldier. I respect those who actually put skin in the game....that doesn't mean I have to agree with them.
