African-American Appreciation Thread - Highlighting contributions from our most productive citizens

[Trig.Point]

It means the Bell Curve is real, and the only thing that keeps otherwise intelligent people from acknowledging this fact is White guilt.

I'm not an expert but I have this (well part of a) theory based on my interaction with Pikey's (travellers) in the UK and Ireland, that the Bell curve doesn't account for some trends.


In the UK and Ireland in every generation of Pikey's there are some that get up and leave, and to various degrees enter normal society. They just discover working 40 hours and not drinking themselves to death while living in squalor in a society with extremely casual views of violence, has a lot of upsides. So they leave and the ones they leave behind just fester.

I think it's the same with blacks whether in the US or UK. In the UK I know several blacks that decided to get the fuck out of London, they had some skills and just kind of discovered that life doesn't have to be that fucking hard, provided (and they would never say this) you don't act like a nigger.

However the problem is that whether it's blacks, or pikey's the ones that are left behind just fester. They are literally devolving, in a form of reverse darwinism.

They’re not even capable of organised crime anymore, a bunch of pikey’s wrecked a building site near me looking for tools and copper , and just ended up with one of them having an accident and activing all aggrieved because the ambulance wouldn’t go near them without a police escort.

What I’m say is that the not a curve, for a huge section of both communities their IQ is getting lower, but the relatively small section that integrate with normal society throw the distribution off.

I used to work at a Walmart that was pretty nice (not to work at, to shop at), but theft at the nearby "Ghettomart" got so bad they had to close that location and send a bunch of their employees to our store.
After that, forget about it. More theft, loss/shrink through the roof, more WIC and LINK purchases, the store was a mess all the time, and more fights and crazy customers.

I don't know what it's like in the US but in the UK supermarkets are heavily subsidising home deliveries, as well as collection only. I don't know what the calculations are but I bet the reduction of theft is a major one.

Reminds me of visiting Gary, Indiana a couple years ago (before the pandemic.) Went to a corner store for a bottle of water. My neighborhood, you can go in and get what you want and bring it to the checkout. Gary's corner store was locked down like a literal bank, rocking metal tray and barred bulletproof window, speaker for the guy to ask what you wanted, and only store employees allowed to grab it while the other one watched you. You didn't even get your shit until the payment went through. It was ridiculous, how bad is Gary that things came to this?? (Rhetorical question)

Gary is so bad cops encourage rolling stops at stops signs.

 

[Plantation Barbie]

I don't know about you, but if I lived in a nice neighborhood like that and I see somebody I don't know just taking pictures and dressing like a bum, I'd be concerned as well.

He walking around a neighborhood that he clearly doesn't live in filming the houses with his phone. It's obvious to anyone who isn't stupid that he is casing the neighborhood for houses to burglarize. That's why he's behaving so aggressively and that's why he refused to ID himself.
But let's say he wasn't doing any of that and was just innocently walking down the street. He could have avoided the arrest by simply showing the officer his ID and calmly explaining that it's a misunderstanding. He chose to behave aggressively and when faced with consequences of said choice he then doubled down and cried racism. And of course there's a legion of people in the Youtube comment section defending this guy because fucking forbid black men be held accountable for their angry outbursts.

Same, for Walmart, anyways. I usually just go to the small, family-run grocery/butcher shop on my way home. I'd rather see that family get my money than a soul-less megacorp.

I know I've read what I'm pretty sure is the exact story you're talking about but now I can't find it. Got a link?

people with lower IQ struggle with understanding theoretical questions

Yes. Here's a screenshot of the original (or at least, close to it):



Personally, I believe this phenomenon is related to the necessity of engaging "system 2" cognition in order to address novel situations. It comes from this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow

The tl;dr is that your brain can do most things automatically, quickly, and easily. You go through most of your life in this "automatic" state: System 1 as it's called. You can do more, but it's a different part of - a different function of - your brain: System 2.

It takes effort to switch it on, and some people can't, or wont ...or become agitated when asked to.

Veritasium did a great video on system 1 vs. system 2:

Here's an example of a black person becoming agitated by questions that might engage system 2. It's like it physically hurts him. He interprets it as an attack. It's wild.

And note that this is *not* an IQ issue. It's more like a laziness issue - mentally lazy. They may *also* have a low IQ, but the issue here is a refusal to use the IQ they have, because it feels like work.

This probably explains a lot of other things too, like the chirping smoke detectors and the inability to understand per capita.

So I passed the breakfast question by just answering the hypothetical? It's that simple?

 

[Wild at Heart]

Guess the race:

Crackhead or worse nodding off and strung out on the (once cute and safe) train to the airport. Taking his shoe off, flopping around on the seats, getting up and running around the aisle. Also playing with his toys he brought on the train and smoking a joint in public. Face tats and a stupid rap t shirt.

He started making a scene and flopping around in the seat right in front of me and my lady. We got up and I was physically blocking him so she could go to the other car and not be near him. He smelled great!

I love that the security did nothing about it, that everyone just turned their heads away in fear, and that if I confronted this creature as a civilian I would get AIDS or become the next George Zimmerman. I would love to carry a beat stick or gun and retain my God given right to keep the peace. But we live in a cucked black worshipping society.

Bonus: we got off the train early and took an Uber the rest of the way home. Who was our driver? A stinky fucking jeet with no AC, child locked windows, a broken car with flashing malfunction lights, and dead awful breath that we could smell from the backseat! I love the city!

does it matter if you "passed"? who is testing you?

 

[winderson_silva]

So I see sometimes people talking on plans to make a movie based on Mansa Musa, but like, does his reign had anything interesting? If its just because "he was so rich", he didnt really had to raise his kingdom from nothing to reach that, it was just the result of sitting on a mine and placed on the trade routes.

Evidently, who asked me the question in this thread. Occam's razor would tell me it's a cheap gotcha from a meme that went overboard.

He also hired some Persian architects to build a few mosques, and he passed the kingship to his son, who got overthrown by an uncle. The kingdom collapsed around a hundred years later, I think because slave and salt routes changed. Salt and gold mines worked by pagan slaves from the south were the bedrock of the Malian economy. On the other hand, his predecessor, Abu Bakr II, allegedly did build some boats to try to cross the Atlantic. Hoteps base a lot of their claims about being the original Amerinds on that one.

What might be fun is a movie around Sundiata Keita, the actual founder of Mali, but that one is never gonna be made because blacks don't give a fuck about West Africa, their heritage, or much of anything in general on the whole. No point in spending the money if they're just gonna call him a coon and demand the jews remake it with more vibranium and stealing pawgs from the white devils.

There should be a constitutional amendment that allows all white, upstanding citizens to carry what my Italian friends call, “the nigger-be-good stick”.

Veritasium did a great video on system 1 vs. system 2:

Thanks for the link, I've been trying to find this video again ever since the movie night chat was discussing related topics like... a few months ago at this point, for some reason I was convinced it was a SmarterEveryDay upload.

A lot of interesting shit happened in the area below around 950AD and after, but making a movie about it would probably piss off a lot of Muslims.

 

[The Last Stand]

He walking around a neighborhood that he clearly doesn't live in filming the houses with his phone. It's obvious to anyone who isn't stupid that he is casing the neighborhood for houses to burglarize. That's why he's behaving so aggressively and that's why he refused to ID himself.

Rewatching the video, the Black cop completely dismantled that man's logic. Suspect is offended that authority confronted him for "walking in a neighborhood," cop offers to walk WITH him around the neighborhood. Suspect fights back at cop saying "I don't KNOW you, why you want to walk with me?" The people in the neighborhood don't know that man walking around filming their houses.

I'm sure whoever called the cops saw his reaction and thought: "yep, made the right call."

 

[Hassou Tobi]

Had a pleasant, professional interaction with a black today who smiled at me…of course she was speaking in a Jamaican accent.

Not saying the other types are perfect, but the angry home brewed “African-American” blacks are the worst by far.

 

[The Last Stand]

He chose to behave aggressively and when faced with consequences of said choice he then doubled down and cried racism. And of course there's a legion of people in the Youtube comment section defending this guy because fucking forbid black men be held accountable for their angry outbursts.

Thank goodness for bodycams for the police. If it was a neighbor that confronted him, God knows how that interaction would go. Deescalation didn't work, so the next logical options are to either escape or defend. I almost wish the cops would've obliged with his "request" to engage. Actually, if it was a less civilized country, he could've been shot.
