Per Google Translate:

"How many years was Boge?" o_O

Wanna help me out here? ;)


boge

A term coined by cannabis users (arguably the most prolific neologists). Derived from bogart, to unfairly smoke cannabis, i.e. to take more from the joint/blunt/bowl/vapo than your fellow members of the session are taking.

So .... Do you honestly believe they're against banning stuff like inter-racial marriage? (Sadly I don't despite only one GOP a$$-hat saying it out loud)

I do however sincerely wish that the GOP leadership would sign it's own political death-warrant by admitting it in public though. (talk about motivating any voters who are still on the sidelines)






I'll give you that one.... genocide does top slavery although not by much!

The Japanese (or any Asian's for that matter) are not even in the ballpark although its not a contest.

Ironically some of the worst crimes against humanity visited upon Asian's were committed BY the Japanese in Manchuria during WWII.

Black slavery was genocide when 1/3 of slaves died on the ships over from Africa.

ボゲ = boge is really more like a rough-sounding slangy pronunciation of ぼけ = boke, which literally means the joke guy in a straight guy - joke guy comic duo, but is used more like idiot or shithead and can sound pretty aggressive, especially the ボゲ = boge form lol.

I'm going to pull the dickhead move and say, "I didn't read the whole thread" because, well, I didn't read the whole thread.

Anyway, things got a lot better for awhile on the issue of institutional racism. With the current backsliding on institutional racism, things are getting worse again as the GOP is determined to disenfranchise as many voters as they can in order to solidify their minority rule.

As part of a research project, I've been spending a lot of time reading Arizona newspapers from 1860 - 1940. The racism displayed is spectacular; today, you have to listen to Proud Boy types to hear the kind of language that was common in mainstream newspapers back then. Editorials demanding the extermination of all Native Americans were a staple of the 1870s. They weren't subtle dog-whistles, they were outright demands for extermination. As the Indian wars wound down, the papers moved on to publishing racist material about black people. When the Anglo population achieved sufficient size in the territory, the former Mexican majority were added to the target list for editorial belittlement. Chinese were a perennial favorite target as well for racist commentary.

In the 60s.
The In crowd
WASPs
Minorities subject to slurs:
Irish
Germans
Italian
Hispanic
Blacks
Chinese
Instituionliazed segregation. Publicly discouraged intermingling. Vigilante terrorism.(Even into the 80s, neighbors terrorized Mariah Carey's mixed family)

Society segregated not pigment but bloodline. Evidence of black ancestry was cause of ostracism.
Whereas, black racism is based on pigment and somewhat on the notion that lighter skinned ones are treated better(colorism). Thus, the inbetweeners can be subject to rejection from sides based on their standards. Not white because their blood is tainted, but not black enough either because the shade in the light is too light for darker blacks.


Today:
Blurred lines. Also, Jews are now "just white" to a lot of people, even though some of their cultural tendencies remain(namely being much better and tight-fisted with money, high value of education).
The renaming of Columbus also indicates the status change of Italian-Americans from minority subject to slurs like those uttered by Woltz in The Godfather:
Jack Woltz: Now you listen to me, you smooth-talking son-of-a-*****, let me lay it on the line for you and your boss, whoever he is! Johnny Fontane will never get that movie! I don't care how many dago guinea wop greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork!
Tom Hagen: I'm German-Irish.
Jack Woltz: Well, let me tell you something, my kraut-mick friend, I'm gonna make so much trouble for you, you won t know what hit you!

. That holiday is irrelevant to anyone else in praxis; no one but Italian-Americans are going to be found in a Columbus Day parade.

The US is clearly less racist now than it was in the 1960s. I'd say a more interesting consideration is whether the US is less racist now than in the 2000s.

So I did your job for you since you mindlessly just believe everything Ben Shapiro cherry picks for you and went to the ONLY source for family info: The US Census.

Guess what? (besides the obvious fact that Shapiro fucking lied and exaggerated numbers to make blacks look worse) The trend (both up and down) has been identical among whites and blacks, and ALWAYS the same percentage higher for blacks. Even in 1960.


The trends for one vs two parent families has been basically the same for Americans since 1960, the earliest I could find complete data for all groups. It started low, climbed until about 2000, and is now slowly going down again.

The magnitude is quite different by race. In 1960 there was already a large disparity in magnitude and has continued to be.

  • 1960
    • Black - 22%
    • White - 8%
    • All - 10%
  • 2020
    • Black - 51%
    • White - 27%
    • All - 36%

Tables CH-1, CH-2, and CH-3 were used.
Where multiple data points existed for a year, PELNMOM and PELNDAD estimates and "Any child whose reported race included Black/White" were used.
I did not include "No Parents / Other Relatives".

Next time post a source other than "I heard it on a political propaganda show, have no source, and will make others do my homework for me."

Lol you think he even fact checked his own “source”? No of course he didn’t, he heard something that agreed with what he believed and went with it.

Single parent means mother or father. But yeah, most often it is Mother.

Strike that.... reverse it? ;)

I seriously had no idea it was that high.... not saying moms can't teach right from wrong too but in many cases a teenage boy just can't be controlled by mom alone especially if she also works full-time!
