And back down in reality, or incarceration rates are among the lowest in the country, although still higher than in Canada.<br /><br />And unfortunately outside our our Scandinavian (Aryan!?) heritage we also have one of the worse racial disparities in the nation, in high school graduation rates, and unemployment.<br />http://www.citypages.com/news/minnesota-has-the-worst-financial-racial-inequality-in-america-according-to-study-6565353<br />-------<br />A new study by WalletHub, a personal finance site that does a ton of these types of state-by-state analyses, found that in Minnesota the financial gap between whites and minorities is the biggest in the nation.<br /><br />That report found blacks in Minnesota were three times more likely as whites to be unemployed and three times less likely to own a home. <br />-----------<br /><br />And we've got a big Somali population in Minneapolis, and some of them are joining up with ISIS, serious shit!<br />http://www.startribune.com/somalis-in-minnesota-a-second-chance-to-get-it-right/277667341/<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Somalis_in_Minneapolis%E2%80%93Saint_Paul According to 2010 American Community Survey data, there are approximately 85,700 Somalis in the United States, around 25,000 of whom live in Minnesota.<br /><br />But the closest to danger I've seen personally is a community gardener showing off his machete, possibly threatening me. Even Crocodile Dundee would be impressed. Although I couldn't understand enough of what he said, he was mostly smiling, and seemed proud of his garden plot, so I just smiled back and nodded and when back to my weeding, but I was careful to make sure he didn't sneak up on me. I can run pretty fast when I have to.<br /><br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-91239364048626596962016-03-25T07:08:01.445-07:002016-03-25T07:08:01.445-07:00Oops.

Maybe he holds himself as "post-gender" or perhaps gave Caitlyn Jenner a humanitarian award or something. I guess I'm rationalizing. I apologize for the oversight.

Reductio...Ares Olympus @March 25, 2016 at 6:26 AM:<br /><br />Reductio ad absurdum. <br /><br />Stuart was talking about terrorists, not swaths of people. We're talking about Islamists, not Muslims. If the Islamists believe they are superior and want to martyr themselves, fine. They'll lose. But why not prevent the carnage in the first place? Why not raid these radical Islamic centers and deport these people to an Islamic country where they'll be happy, where they'll live within the boundaries of the current caliphate and feel right at home? Sounds humanitarian to me. And throw in a sprinkling of due process for the Lefties who will otherwise stop breathing <br /><br />Ares, people who think like you are the new thought police, looking for "racism" under every bed, in every crevice of our lives. You don't care about racism. You are using it as a weapon to silence and otherwise control people. <br /><br />Your thinking is partially responsible for the rise of this Donald Trump candidacy you so despise, yet you're too self-absorbed with your own moral magnificence, and thus blind to see it. You think all the problems are "out there" somewhere... with all the primitive thinkers out there in America and the world. Those who haven't progressed to your level of cognitive greatness. The problem is not "out there," Ares... it's you, it's in you. People like you created Trump. And your shameless thought policing has been so effective that the only way for people to fight back today is at a ballot box, with a secret ballot. You want to shut up people, to prevent them from sharing what they see, to ruin their lives because you say they're bigots. It's pathetic. <br /><br />Here you go again with your smug, bizarre theoretical universe. What the hell would you do, Ares? Or do you not experience fear? Are you above it all, like Bittner? My goodness, you lead a luxurious life...Ignatius Acton Chesterton OCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222603717128565302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-72100899210757012662016-03-25T07:01:49.059-07:002016-03-25T07:01:49.059-07:00Bittner is a he, not a she.Bittner is a he, not a she.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-24339089060787622102016-03-25T06:44:16.896-07:002016-03-25T06:44:16.896-07:00I love the Poles...
Bittner does not realize her ...I love the Poles...<br /><br />Bittner does not realize her lazy intellect has left her with a multiculturalism offering no hope of assimilation... no hope for the host or the migrant. <br /><br />Why is this? Because she believes assimilation is a form of cerebral colonialism. Which is really more of the same postmodern Leftist tripe that got the West in this mess. If you're asking stupid questions like "Whose values?" as a means to shut people up, you'll eventually get this multicultural, relativistic society. That's a vacuum! Enter people with a theology of hope. Martyrdom is a form of hope. Or others with proscribed ideas that make sense of the madness. You can only cork a volatile brew like that for so long. <br /><br />This age of Islamism, Islamic radicalization and Islamic terroriism that's created a "powder keg pluralism" that binds the European host population. If you say what you see, you're castigated as a "racist." If you put blinders on, you're dead in the long run. People are going to do this math and choose as the Poles did. You must halt or deal with the insane pluralism (known as multiculturalism) before the gunpowder goes off. <br /><br />Bittner is trapped by her own mindless philosophy, and too proud (read: too nice) to find her way out. She has no solutions, only the drip-drip-drip of more of the same. With explosions going off all around her, she believes she's right. No solutions, but feeling superior. So which do you think she'll choose: "I don't know" or continue with the smug facade? The result is a continuation. <br /><br />I wonder how much longer the normal citizenry of Europe is going to put up with this kind of nonsense. Maybe someone will write "Allahu Akbar!" in chalk somewhere on the Der Zeit campus, and Bittner can tell us all her writers and editors are "in pain."<br /><br />Bittner's vision of the European Union sounds like a suicide pact to me.

Why are we so concerned with not giving them what they want? Many of them want to die. Should we deprive them of this glory? If they want an all-out war, why not give them what they want? They cannot win the war.<br /><br />So if 0.01% of blacks in America are murderous, trying to start a race war, perhaps we should give them what they want, and start persecuting the other 99.99% until all the blacks unite together against their common white enemies?<br /><br />Why not judge all minority groups by their worst representatives?<br /><br />What if the English had banned all Catholics from Northern Ireland, because of IRA terrorism?<br /><br />Or as Trump said, why not murder the families of the terrorists? Wouldn't that be a deterrent to the terrorists?<br /><br />Where do we set the boundary of "safe people" if they look like people who are unsafe?<br /><br />There's lots of interesting questions, and I don't think there are simple answers to most of them. <br /><br />Maybe we could just ship all the undesireable people into concentration camps? Just give them basic food and shelter and tell them to wait there until someone cares to give them the time of day. That'll certainly help reduce the recruits to the Islamic fundamentalists.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
