Typically the people that initiate affinitive action are while people. They believe non-whites can’t get to levels without their help. Quite frankly, it seems they’re white supremacists with a guilty conscience.

So then you’re fine knowing being of a different ethnicity may have played a large part into you getting hired over another who may have been more skilled, because they felt sorry for you?
 
Are you implying that I’m a leech who may have got a job meant for someone else just because I’m Hispanic? Because I made no mention that I used Affirmative Action

I didn’t misunderstand as much as the issue presented has no true solution now that the guns are already in circulation, which is why I didn’t bring it up. The implicit argument is for further gun control now as a lesser evil, even if it is done from a “neutral” standpoint, no matter how it is spun. There is more to gun control than crimes commited/deterred and it is deceptive to pretend gun control today would be the utilitarian solution by framing it as such. Similarily how studies were to bring out an argument against car ownership by solely focusing how access to cars statistically increase car related homicides and hit-and-run by gangs. It doesn’t change the fact that some people have survived by having a gun with them and even if it would be mostly a psychological assurance for the wearer, it does not give anyone the right to deny it. Maybe in a different country in different circumstances I’d side more with gun control, but for America, there is more to the argument than is presented.

See, stuff like affirmative action will pit whites against non-whites when all the above should just confront the people who decided to cause trouble and division with such things.

Honestly, the white hate stuff is just stupid and anyone who gets “traumatized” or “feels unsafe” when something as small as a flyer is seen, they have none of my respect. The only respect I will give to them is the respect of a human being, which is the very lowest I can. Hell, a wild dog is worth more than them.

No it’s not, because Hispanics have also benefited from affirmative action as well. What, did you forget about us?
 
Since you know what affirmative action is you should realize that your argument makes no sense, it isn’t meant to help just black People it’s supposed to help disadvantaged groups which means that if tomorrow whites became a disadvantaged group then they should benefit from affirmative action.

We both know what it is, what are you getting at? Are you going to use the argument that it’s discriminatory to white people? Or are you going to use the argument that it’s meant to make black people inferior?

You misunderstood. The article, which summarizes several studies, argues the more guns are owned, the more (detected) crimes there are. It doesn’t directly touch on gun laws other than comparing the violent crimes rates amongst states with hard-to-get gun permits and two temporally differentiated types of states with easy-to-get permits in which the former gains relatively more progress than the other two in lowing violent crimes rates. All other factors that you’ve mentioned such as crimes not accounted for, premeditated crimes, and the castle doctrine are not accounted for because the point is
 
More guns owned is correlated with more (detected) crimes.
 
Nothing else. It is a statistical deduction. It is intuitive, not deductive. It is a theorem with counterexamples. It is not mathematically provable. It is contingent, not deterministic. It is a correlation, not a causation. It is for most cases, but not all.
 
So,
 
Gun control laws are a palliative, not a cure.
 
This is the second time you’ve disregarded statistical deductions.

That’s basically what I’m getting at, like I told @Shirani, the Constitution protects the rights of all Americans and arbitrarily discrimination is already illegal so no one needs to worry about that. But if we’re talking about “White Hate” in other countries, then I’m basically clueless on that topic since I’m only familiar with my country’s constitution

Can’t say I disagree that the topic of “white hate” doesn’t have elements of absurdism. Tiki torch marches only look cool in imaginations of grandeur. I know it’s supposed to be a symbol for torch bearing the future and evoking the spirit image of Olympian greatness, but mostly all I see is a konga line of greasy, out of shape, sweating men in sandals and socks yelling about the Jews.

Like changing ethics in some sites, revealing the incompetence of journos. Reducing Leigh Alexander to irrelevancy. Showing Ben Kuchera was a slime ball. Stood for the integrity of a medium these so called gatekeepers tried to dictate what can and can’t be in gaming. (Indie still hasn’t recovered fully) and above all making fun of people that are little more then the new puritans.
 
 
@LeoNero  
But, IS it okay to be white? according to many progressives. No. It is not.
 
And they call everyone else the bigot. :b

Good job being dogwhistled guys
 
@Shirani  
White people hold all the institutional power within the imperial western nations  
White culture is perceived as the norm  
There is nothing inherently wrong with the message “it’s okay to be white”, but the system within America and other western countries already promote that
 
Why would you be saying that unless there is some ulterior motive
