Not baiting, just pointing out that prob there's more than race when it comes to discrimination. Social class matters too.

- princekolt 6y agoWhile ignoring the entire argumentation of the article. Not inflammatory at all!
- totalZero 6y agoIt's fair to consider confounding variables when discussing a statistical analysis.
- paganel 6y agoI don't think is baiting, don't think NWA were baiting ~30 years ago with "black police showing out for the white cop", just wanted to add that you have brought in a very interesting point, that is the social class discrimination which has been largely forgotten in all this discussion. I've mentioned that point of view in here before, that is that imho the black population in the US has been left behind by the majority "educated"/liberal white class after the first "successes" of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. The next step in that battle should have been to address the social and economic imbalances affecting the black population, but then the depressing 1970s came and then the flamboyant 1980s, and suddenly the majority white population had other worries and interests. One could say that the No Kid Left Behind was a step in addressing that social imbalance issue, but as far as I understood it was disastrously implemented. Plus not that many people mention the fact that the War on Drugs has been mostly a war on US minorities (mostly the black population, with some Latinos also involved), which, again, as far as I know, has had bi-partisan support for at least the last 20 to 30 years.
