Blacks are vastly overrepresented in sports and music/entertainment. They make up 40% of mayors of the top 10 cities, and 48% of the commanders of the largest police forces. Due to block voting they chose the Dem nominee in 2008 and 2016 when the majority of Whites voted the...
other way. The idea that this is some powerless put upon group and thats why they should be given special treatment is a huge joke...

Almost 20% of young black men are NEETs: Image
Most male and female NEETs aren't disabled, don't have kids, and aren't looking for work Image
the female NEET rate has declined while the male NEET rate is about what it always was. Image

Short thread about the numerous errors in the post linked below.
First she cites the work of Paul Dolan claiming that married women are less happy. This is due to a misreading of the ATUS. @CathyReisenwitz If you are honest you will correct this. Image
Obviously we don't know how much is causal, but both married men and women are happier. Image
She cites the male marriage premium as evidence of a benefit, but that could also be evidence men work harder for their families when they are married, and women don't feel the need to work as hard when they have a man.

Some opinions I have that are left wing or otherwise possibly unpopular or contrarian in this sphere:
1. Toxic masculinity is real (but so is toxic femininity).
2. Depending on the definition, the idea of rape culture doesn't seem that unreasonable.
3. The NYT is probably the best source of news in the country. Sure they are woke and that sucks but they have tons of apolitical reporting. And they often report "based" facts if you read between the lines. The WSJ is good too, but not quite at the level of the NYT

There is an interesting subreddit called r/BarbaraWalters4Scale (referencing the fact that Walters, MLK and Anne Frank were all born in 1929) with a interesting time comparisons. For example:
>Joe Biden was born closer to Lincolns presidency than his own.
>Obama is the only president to serve under the same flag he was born under
>Jimmy Carter lived through 41% of the independent US
>Nintendo existed at the same time as the Ottoman Empire
>Hitler was alive when the big chungus cartoon was released
>Jimmy Carter saw JD Vance (who was born after his presidency) get elected VP
>For his federal elections, Biden had voters between 1880s and 2002
>Hitler's bodyguard could have watched the Hitler epic rap battle
>Betty Marion White (BMW) is older than the BMW car

If TikTok is banned for a while in the US the contents will likely eventually be deleted. Many would say good riddance but I would consider this a loss to the historical record. TikTok contains a record of the trends, attitudes aesthetics, and political debates of the time. Image
It also gives a record of how Americans reacted to many historical events like the pandemic, BLM riots, the 2020 and 2024 elections, Jan 6th, withdrawal from Afghanistan, invasion of Ukraine, 10/7, the rise of AI and the Trump assassination attempt.
MySpace deleted much of their content in the past and most people didn't think much of it. wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Mysp…

1/ Thread about Indian people outside of India and the USA. There isn't going to be a thesis or an argument made, just facts about Indians in various countries.
Will discuss:
NZ
Australia
UK
Canada
South Africa
Uganda
Malaysia
Singapore
Fiji
Trinidad and Tobago Image
2/ New Zealand. Indians make up 5.8% of New Zealand population, they are mostly Hindu. Image
3/ In the past groups like the White New Zealand league agitated to keep Indians out, and they were barred from certain public accommodations. Image
