Y'know, I think I need to find another good explanation of housing policy in America. I read up about the policies from decades ago and how they overtly isolated people by race, but I still honestly have trouble understanding how that relates to where people live today. Were the isolated blacks just too poor to move around by the time overt housing racism ended?

I ask this because I actually think fighting the housing problem might be one of the single biggest things you could do to fight racism. This is just my stupid theory, but to fight this thing you need more empathy right? People have more empathy for those who live in their own communities right? All I'm saying is things might begin to shift if more white people actually live around black people. I don't know how that reconciles the economic differences though.

The point that someone needs to get across up there is that "thug" has become another word used in an exclusionary way, that it has become a blanket word to set apart minorities whenever they "act up." I'm trying to think of the last time in the media a white criminal has been called a thug. It probably happens but a lot less often. But then that get's to the argument of the proportion of crime involving minorities and here we go. The word "thug" is a cyclical trap in itself.

Not sure what you meant by the bolded. When did overt housing racism end?
As far as I'm aware, this is still a fairly common practice.

ANYBODY WHO UNDERSTANDS SNAPCHAT HELP ME PLEASE.

So, I recently got added by a friend of a friend on Snapchat

FOINE ass dude. Been crushin on him on the low for a good minute now. Never thought we'd ever hook up or anything though. Dude is as readable as stone.

A few hours after he added me, my phone alerted me that I got a snap from him.

And it's a pic of him shirtless and flexing in the mirror with the caption "You like that?"

Hdhxjssksbbxjxkskakahxhcklsjsvvdk

Now, before I respond with the THIRST OF LIFE, I need to make sure that was a snap that he sent direct to me, or if it was just in his story or something. I can't be embarrassing myself.

How can I tell?

Someone help!

if it was on the left screen it's to you (or multiple people) directly. if it's on the right screen (the story one) then everyone can see it.

so it could be both since you can send to individual people and put it in the story. so check his story and see if it's in there.

I would say redlining, both historically and currently, plays a large part.

Like many things racial, though, it's a cycle. The residents of a predominantly black neighborhood are often at a socioeconomic disadvantage, so they are essentially stuck. When they send their children to school, they get a half-assed education because, despite the neighborhoods taxes being high in regards to the surrounding neighborhoods, it is still relatively little money, so the schools have under-trained teachers and a lack of resources. These kids get a high school education or less because of circumstances outside of their control, so they end up in dead end minimum wage jobs or doing crime. This either lands them in the same neighborhood they grew up in because they can't afford anything else, in prison or dead. Rinse and repeat.

Add gentrification to the mix to explain why certain neighborhoods that used to be predominantly black are now mostly white or a part of the business district.

The media in general uses the word "thug" extremely insidiously. You'll have a live feed of a bunch of black people looting a liquor store (stereotype upon stereotype) and the commentators will call them thugs. The intent is painfully obvious.

I think it's along the same lines as how the media generally uses the word "terrorist." When they say terrorist, they often cut to an image of an Arab, or a Middle Eastern/North African landscape in order to reinforce certain prejudices, even though a dude that looks like Timothy McVeigh can be a terrorist.

OK, I checked that. It doesn't seem to be in his story.

Thanks!

Now let me go dig through my underwear drawer and plan my response.

You're probably the only person outside of geriatrics that like Malkin.

Chick would probably go missing if she were to ever go back to the Philippines. Hell she'd go missing if she ever set foot in a Flip neighborhood. They hate her more than Ye hates the Nazi.

Due to the Republican's primary system it's literally impossible to run as a moderate or even slightly center-right as a Republican candidate for any major office right now. You'll get primaried out by those Koch dollars.
