• Racism, minority, poverty line, liberals, progressive
• child, rape

PAGE UNDER DEVELOPMENT

• developing country:
  presupposes that country will develop.
  Honestly we only know that it is an underdeveloped country. It is wishful thinking, and Leftist dogma that it will ever develop. Countries, or cities, can develop backwards, and fail, usually due to woke leftist policies.
  • Zimbabwe / Rhodesia
  • South Africa
  • Malmö
  • Sweden
  • Venezuela
  • Argentina

• Progressive:
  suggests that leftist policies are progress. They could as well be disasters, not progress.

• Poor, poverty line.
  People living in “poverty” in the USA or central Europe are very rich. They earn far above good salaries in third world standards. Their standard of living in terms of technological gadgets and health care is incomparably higher than middle class in most countries. The concept of “Relative poverty” causes this confusion, because it is very different from absolute poverty and the International Poverty Line.
  • • • A person can be poor in a relative term but not in absolute term as the person might be able to meet its basic needs, but it is not able however to enjoy the same standards of living as other people in the same economy are enjoying^] Relative poverty is thus a form of social exclusion that can for example effect peoples access to decent housing, education or job opportunities[Wikipedia]

• • • Racism

racism (noun)

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group,

aa

typically one that is a minority or marginalized:

“a program to combat racism”

synonyms:

racial discrimination · racialism · racial prejudice · xenophobia · intolerance · bigotry · chauvinism · fascism · Nazism · anti-Semitism · apartheid

• • the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another:”theories of racism”

ORIGIN

early 20th century: from race + -ism.

• • • Discrimination

Prejudice

The truth about minorities stirs up prejudice

Prejudice is correct, mostly.

• • Diversity means more “minority“. Nigeria needs no diversity, nor the mostly Black sports leagues in the USA.
  • Minority;:
    Minority is a deceptive word. Minority means Non-White because 10.6% Whites in Detroit,  8.9% Whites in South Africa, 11.5%  Whites in world population do not qualify as minorities (majority-minority). But 51.9% women  are a minority group. Thus Minority means Non-White.

• • Social justice
    • “Social justice” or “racial justice”:  presupposes there actually is injustice. It excludes possibility that the alleged race differences in outcome are due to racial differences. Certainly distracts from any possibility that there might be injustice towards non-minority whites who are denied jobs and college admissions in favor of lower qualified “minorities”. Claims that that pro-minority bias and anti-white racism are justice.  Disadvantage for whites in college and job admission are “racial justice”
  • hate speech:
    • Fake news

• Disadvantaged, marginalized, … && “minority“

&&&

• Liberal. The classic meaning of “liberal” does NOT describe the behavior of the politically correct illiberal Left. “Liberal” does connote:
  • Favoring reform, open to new ideas, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; not bound by traditional thinking; broad-minded. synonym: broad-minded¹.
  • Someone who has liberal views believes people should have a lot of freedom in deciding how to behave and think [Collins]
• “Civil rights“: according to the constitution, civil rights were not rights. And it fails to mention that it takes away constitutional rights of freedom of assembly from whites. Furthermore, civil rights were, ad hoc, enlarged from rights for Blacks to rights for more and more minorities

• Black

  The clear century-old term Negro or Negroid race for the population originating in Sub-saharan Africa has been changed in confusing ways.

  There are very dark-skinned Indians that are not negroid. And much lighter skin “blacks” according to the one drop rule in the USA.

  • “African American“: A blonde, blue eyed Boer girl, resident in South Africa for 10 generations, is an African American? Or is Elon Musk an African American[3]? A negro who has lived in London, or Barbados for 5 generations is an African American? A Nigerian in the USA is an African American? Or is he an African?

  “African American” is very confusing, especially because Elon Musk clearly is an African American, born in Africa from a family with many generations of South African whites.

  In efforts to cover up black crime, euphemisms as looting “teens” are extremely distracting and confusing. Are they sure they are all 13-19 year-old “teens”, nobody is 12 years or 20 years old. Youth is not much better as a term. Usually gangs of trouble-makers are racially non-diverse, except maybe antifa inciting violence in BLM riots.

   

• (statutory) rape:
  a 17 year old “child” that actively pursues sex, or enthusiastically agrees to sex, is a called a victim of “rape”, because s/he is considered unable to consent to sex.
  • Our only issue here is obfuscation and brainwashing: Is the casual reader mislead, does the casual  reader misunderstand newspaper reports?  Such  understanding  can  be  measured  with  simple  paper  and  pencil  questionnaires.  We  repeat: Our one and only issue is discussion of HONESTY, of HONEST vocabulary vs. deceptively implanting a patently wrong mental image to the casual reader.
    • Yes means No! Forcibly raping a 17 year old is the same rape as consensual love making.
    • “Rape is rape is rape” is a lie, Joe Biden! 20 different types of rape!
    • The press happily reports about trials and conviction of “rapists” that raped the victim 300 times. No, she did not lock up the “victim” in a dungeon for years, like Mr. Fritzl. The victim always came back for more, but did not consent (by our weird definition of legal consent). Human-Stupidity even documented a case where the rapist, unbeknownst to him,  was duped by the victim into raping her. [Consent, rape & minors. What is consent to sex?]
    • Mom of 10-year-old Ohio girl who got abortion defends child’s rapist:
      The term “statutory rape” is misleading. Then, omitting the word “statutory” and saying only “rape” is blatantly intentionally misleading. Worse, we cannot be sure if this specific case is “forcible” rape or sex with an enthusiastically consenting girlfriend with consent of mother. We absolutely do NOT discuss if it is right or wrong for government to interfere in such family matters, against the wish of the mother (and maybe the daughter, too), we only discuss that the casual reader should be told the WHOLE TRUTH.
      Again, we do NOT give any opinion about “age of consent” laws. We just say that deception is immoral and wrong.
      What is worse: a large part of the people who spread these news are unaware of the fact that they are blatantly misleading. They don’t know themselves.
      Others do know, but think that misleading is legitimate, a “noble” lie because of the gravity of the crime.
      An honest way would be that the man engaged in “sex with a minor under the age of consent, which is a felony”. And then be honest and defend the “age of consent” law without misleading the entire public and most of the readers

Egalitarianism and Environmentalis are dogmas, genetic differences, in-born differences do not exist. 10 000 hour law is bogus ………..
