Why is it diversity for white countries, and white people get genocided in South Africa and Zimbabwe?
Switzerland is multi-racial, but their racial borders line up with their internal borders, so intermingling between the French, Germans, and Italians is pretty low.
Intermingling with non-Western cultures is destroying what made Western Culture great.

There is also some evidence that shows that Michael Brown (and perhaps his family) are affiliated with bloods, which can be a quite violent gang/organization

May I see this evidence?

Michael Brown was unarmed, so was Kelly Thomas, and so was Rodney King, Amadou Diallo, Manuel Loggins Jr., Ronald Madison, Sean Bell, Eric Garner, I could go on forever, but I believe I have confirmed that police are trigger happy, and all of the men listed with the exception of Kelly Thomas were people of color.

Michael Brown was unarmed... so what? The fact that he wasn't carrying a firearm didn't stopped him from robbing a shop and beating one of the owners there to pulp. Even officer Wilson, who was carrying a firearm with him, suffered very serious facial injuries as a result of the assault by Michael Brown. Just because he wasn't carrying a firearm, that doesn't mean that he posed no danger to the civilized society.

That was a hoax circulated by conservative sources, the picture was not of Officer Wilson

No no members have to post 1 daily post in their main thread and a total number of 20 posts per week on other threads. So in total members have to post a total of 27 posts.

I reckon it has to do with activity, not number of posts

U.S. threatened Yahoo with big fines for not divulging user data

"The federal government once threatened to fine Yahoo $250,000 a day for not complying with a national security-related request to hand over user data, the company said Thursday.

The announcement comes as part of a larger revelation: Some 1,500 pages of documents related to Yahoo's 2007-08 case challenging U.S. surveillance law are being released, the company's general counsel, Ron Bell, said on Tumblr.

Cases in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which reviews government requests to spy on individuals, are classified.

"The released documents underscore how we had to fight every step of the way to challenge the U.S. government’s surveillance efforts," Bell said.

Yahoo said it was working to make the documents available online."

Is that kinda like if you are a black person, living in a country that practices slavery, it's your fault for living there and you should keep quiet about it, and not the fault of the country practicing slavery?

If you are a slave, living in a country where slavery is still being practiced, then you have two options.

#1. Migrate / run-away to another country and live a happy life there
#2. Organize all the slaves and try to seize power.

#2 is only viable if the slaves are in a majority.

BTW.... it seems that you would like to assume that only blacks were taken as slaves. In the recorded history, blacks consisted only of a minority of all people who were taken as slaves. The Atlantic Slave Trade enslaved some 12 million people, while the Arab slave trade enslaved another 18 million.

On the other hand, just the Crimean-Nogai raids into East Slavic lands alone enslaved some 3 million Slavs. And the Spanish conquistadors enslaved tens of millions of native Americans in the Latin America.

You cannot deny that we had the most gruesome history of slavery. America is the only nation that fought a Civil War based on slavery.

2198  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Columbia student Emma Sulkowicz vows to carry mattress around university on: September 11, 2014, 02:54:05 PM
what do you think of this:
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/02/-sp-campus-rape-prevention-yes-means-yes

While most students at Columbia University will spend the first day of classes carrying backpacks and books, Emma Sulkowicz will start her semester on Tuesday with a far heavier burden. The senior plans on carrying an extra-long, twin-size mattress across the quad and through each New York City building – to every class, every day – until the man she says raped her moves off campus.
“I was raped in my own bed,” Sulkowicz told me the other day, as she was gearing up to head back to school in this, the year American colleges are finally, supposedly, ready to do something about sexual assault. “I could have taken my pillow, but I want people to see how it weighs down a person to be ignored by the school administration and harassed by police.”
Sulkowicz is one of three women who made complaints to Columbia against the same fellow senior, who was found “not responsible” in all three cases. She also filed a police report, but Sulkowicz was treated abysmally – by the cops, and by a Columbia disciplinary panel so uneducated about the scourge of campus violence that one panelist asked how it was possible to be anally raped without lubrication.
Apparently even an Ivy League school still doesn’t understand the old adage of “no means no”.
So Sulkowicz joined a federal complaint in April over Columbia’s mishandling of sexual misconduct cases, and she will will hoist that mattress on her shoulders as part savvy activism, part performance art. “The administration can end the piece, by expelling him,” she says, “or he can, by leaving campus.”
Her performance may be singular, but the deep frustration voiced by Sulkowicz is being echoed by survivors across the United States. Despite increased efforts to curb campus assault and hold schools accountable – the FBI has changed its once-archaic definition of rape, a new White House task force wants answers, and schools like Harvard and Dartmouth have promised new policies – the nation’s university administrators are still failing young people in their care. In the last year alone, 67 schools have had students file federal complaints accusing their own colleges of violating the Clery Act or Title IX.
With the start of school underway, however, the biggest paradigm shift on rape and sexual consent in decades may just now be emerging in California, where “yes means yes” – a model for reform that feminists like me have been pushing for years – could soon become law.
Late last week, the first state bill to require colleges to adopt an “affirmative consent” model in their sexual assault policies passed the California senate unanimously. The legislation, which is headed to Governor Jerry Brown’s desk for approval by the end of this month (his office declined to comment), effectively requires the presence of a “yes” rather than the absence of a “no” – or else withholds funding from the nation’s largest state school system.

    Verbal consent is best: easier to avoid the 'he said, she said' college administrators try to make rape cases out to be
    Sofie Karasek, senior, UC-Berkeley

The legislation additionally clarifies that affirmative consent means both parties must be awake, conscious and not incapacitated from alcohol or drugs – and that past sexual encounters or a romantic relationship doesn’t imply consent. The California bill also, importantly, specifies that “lack of protest or resistance does not mean consent, nor does silence mean consent”.
It seems like a no-brainer to only have sex with conscious and enthusiastic partners, but detractors say the standard “micromanages” sexuality. The truth is that a “yes means yes” policy “helps to create a shared responsibility, instead of the responsibility falling on women to say ‘no’,” says Tracey Vitchers, chair of the board at Safer (Students Active for Ending Rape). Anti-violence activists are clearly excited about the bill, which – if all goes well – could be adopted by more states with large public university systems.

Sofie Karasek, a senior at the University of California at Berkeley and co-founder of End Rape on Campus, also supports the new bill. Like Sulkowicz at Columbia, Karasek filed a federal complaint after she said Berkeley didn’t take sufficient action after she reported a sexual assault. As her first week back on campus was winding down on Friday, Karasek told me she thinks the California model has “created an important conversation about consent in the media and public, and I think with affirmative consent, more students will be talking about it as well.”
Indeed, a lot of students – male students, included – already are. Gray Williams, a senior at University of North Carolina at Greensboro, says he likes the “yes means yes” standard. “It’s not that big of a deal, and I appreciate having an unambiguous ‘yes’ or ‘no’ instead of having to read her body language,” he told me. Roo George-Warren, a recent graduate of Vanderbilt University, thinks some young men might be skeptical, but he insists part of the problem is that the “discourse around consent in day-to-day conversation is so unsophisticated.”
And this is what makes the legislation so important for colleges: mandating “yes means yes” in sexual assault policy puts the onus on colleges to give comprehensive consent education. If students are to abide by that standard, they need to know what it means.
So California could lead the way in redefining how we think about sexual consent. But as promising as this overdue measure may be, state legislatures and university administrators alike need to make sure they’re being as thorough as possible in this moment when real reform, for once, doesn’t seem impossible. The legislation doesn’t clearly specify whether affirmative consent means verbal or nonverbal communication. Do students need to say “yes”? Or is clear body language sufficient?
Should Gov Brown sign “yes means yes” into law, I agree with Slate writer Amanda Hess, who believes the standard going forward should itself be more sophisticated and include nonverbal cues – not just because they present a more realistic vision of how we experience sex, but because we need to talk about body language that can mean “no” as well:

    If we can admit that enthusiastic consent is often communicated in body language or knowing looks, then we must also accept that the lack of consent doesn’t always manifest itself in a shouted ‘no’ or ‘stop,’ either. It shouldn’t be the sole responsibility of the uninterested party to speak up during a sexual encounter.



That was the article that introduced me to the Columbia rape scandal.


Did you know that the staff actually asked her if the rapist used lubricant? Absolutely disgusting
2199  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Should we stop all Muslims from entering America? on: September 11, 2014, 02:48:39 PM
According to the Pew Research Center, there are approximate 1.6 billion Muslims, this figure accounts for 23% of the world's population.

Pew Research Center is not a reliable source. They get most of their religious data from the CIA World Factbook, which itself is full of inaccuracies. The most accurate method to calculate the number of Muslims is to look at the census reports from all the global nations (90% of them have data on religion). But compiling such data is very labor-intensive and time consuming.

IMO, Muslims might be anywhere from 1.25 billion to 1.5 billion.

It was an estimated figure buddy. I cannot pinpoint the exact number

Apparently gays can't share their happiness... aren't humans or something like it.  Roll Eyes

I have no problem with gays in the United States posting their private videos to YouTube. But if you are a gay, and if you are living in a conservative country (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Myanmar.etc), then you should not provoke the authorities. Keep your videos private, and refrain from public displays of sexuality. By posting this video to the YouTube, these people have caused more harm than good to the homosexuals in Egypt.

Is that kinda like if you are a black person, living in a country that practices slavery, it's your fault for living there and you should keep quiet about it, and not the fault of the country practicing slavery? Or a more modern example, if you are an extremely poor person working in a sweatshop, in a country that is perfectly fine with exploiting people in sweatshops, it's your fault for being a poor sweatshop worker and living in that country, and not the fault of the country for accepting sweatshops, and you should just keep quiet about your being exploited, otherwise you'll bring harm on the rest of the sweatshop workers? Nice subjugation advice there.

Beat me to it. Excellent points.

How can we expect these barbaric conservative countries to act sane on their own? We as people must provoke the government at all times. Don't be afraid of getting jailed, at least you aren't getting beheaded.
