An interesting phenomenon today is that there exists a whole genre of plain truths which everyone - across all races, etc - would agree to in a barbershop, on a basketball court, or on a golf course...but which almost cannot be mentioned in "polite" discourse.
(2) I'll name one for every 50 likes.
(3) While police brutality is Very Bad, something like the 90% majority of people shot by cops are violent repeat felons, usually struggling with the officer.
(4) Males and females are different in obvious, easily measurable ways, some quite enjoyable.
(5) Dads matter. A lot. One of the biggest predictors of virtually every negative outcome in life, particularly for girls/women, is not having a present/in-home - preferably married - father.
Look: fathers.com/statistics-and….
(6) Many/most poor neighborhoods will be "food deserts" until epidemic CRIME decreases. No one wants to build a shiny new store only to have it burnt down, and 'urban enterprise tracks the crime rate.'
(7) The left-wing riots which raged through ~all of 2020 were far larger in scope than "one six," killed a HELL of a lot more people (25+), did $2,000,000,000 in damage...and were intentionally minimized by a dishonest media no one trusts anymore.
(8) Many famous and universally praised people right now - I'd say especially on the left side of the fence, but am open to both arguments - are very stupid, in the literal sense of "not having a high IQ." You are NOT imagining this.
(9) While I'm on that point, IQ and similar scores are real - not "meaningless," "biased" in the statistical sense, etc. They don't measure max POTENTIAL, but your grades and aptitude boards at the end of (say) college are actually a damn good predictor of how you'll do in life.
(10) Dogs aren't children.
(11) Almost no one is actually oppressed in 2021 America. While radical brothers and the edge right scream at each other about who the REAL ultimate victim is (it would actually be a disabled Hispanic woman), immigrants from places like Vietnam are kicking everyone's ass.
(12) Since I see this thread now has ~1,200 likes, I'll end it here. But, in a BLATANT PLUG, you can read my takes on white privilege, "cultural appropriation," the alt right, and other less banal taboo topics right 'chea...amazon.com/Taboo-Facts-Ca…
