I'm American and this clearly isn't a formal event you fucking autist. It would genuinely be weird if someone wore a dress shirt to this. Just because American culture is different doesn't mean its flat out incorrect. Become a relativist. It wouldn't be weird if the dress shirt was worn as an over shirt on top of a t-shirt.
There's nothing outright wrong with these fits, it's just if I were to do a meetup, which I wouldn't, I would wear something more interesting. Not a fucking dress shirt.

'They really believe that Europeans are eagerly waiting to hear from them and heed their advice. They took our strategic decision not to discuss their shallow culture before the war as a sign of admiration.
They cannot believe that there are cultural values that are the result of centuries of historical development, which cannot simply be bought. It was no bad joke when, after the war, they bought the ruins of German castles and moved them stone by stone to the U.S.A. They really thought that they had purchased a piece of national history embodied in stone, and were naive enough to think that mocking laughter from Europe was respect for the wealth that enabled them to buy what their own tradition and culture lacked'.

Yes the system of government is culture, but literally everything is culture. You can't name a single thing that exists that hasn't be cultivated by culture. I think it should be very clear that we're talking about a very specific sect of culture here, and not government you fucking swine. I'm talking about how it's different in America to wear a dress shirt when compared to Europe, which is the truth and norms are defined by the culture they reside in, and you're over there like "WELL THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS BAD!"

You literally vote for it, that WAS the entire point of democracy.

Also, your own generals don't think like you, that government and citizens should be differentiated:

Truly moronic. You literally can't conversate with a European online without them divulging into how they hate the American government. Me too man, we agree, but that's not why I'm talking to you in the first place you fucking retard.

Not trying to be dismissive, but what exactly is "normal" for a meetup of people from a dying online fashion forum on a dying website? I don't think there are really established rules for what's "weird" to wear to something like that, and given that it's a meetup of people from a fashion forum, personally I'd expect at least a couple people to come wearing something more adventurous (or even just well put together) than this.

When I was talking to that guy earlier today in this thread he was just annoying me, I don't think wearing a button up shirt would be "too formal," but he has a weird perception. I've talked to him in other threads before and he genuinely thinks everyone should wear suits and button ups every day. To be fair though, wearing the type of button up he's implying one should wear on a day-to-day basis would be autistic here in America to wear when hanging out with friends.
I agree though, the guys in the meet up could've tried a bit more and it wouldn't have been weird at all for one of them to wear a button up shirt if that's their style. It would be weird if they dressed the way that guy wants them to dress.

America is 15th in the world, above about 180 different countries including Germany, Italy, Spain, and France.
I feel like people that say America isn't free haven't actually been to America nor do they know any people living in America. I'm by no means a patriot, but to say we aren't living in one of the genuinely most free and prosperous countries on earth is simply ignorant. I genuinely don't know how to make it clear that I'm not an ignorant ass southern American preaching about our freedom and prosperity, but that's actually the truth.

If you're so anti American, you surely have to understand how it differs from European/eastern cultures in ways unrelated to this one subject in which you're passionate about. The main point is that this point does not speak to American culture as a whole, and speaks to many different western cultures in tandem. I understand that you're legitimately autistic, not insulting you for your autism, just stating what you said in a previous thread, but you simply can't be this simple and narrow minded.

I'll put that one to the side regardless of my views. Sure, we have different views on age of consent, whatever. My retort was that it was an incredibly niche thing to criticize us for and that there are an abundance of other flaws in American culture.

That's one example which doesn't represent the whole of European culture as a whole, which only represents the views of those involved in that petition, not representing the views of the French public as a whole as it did not pass. While it may speak to a fundamental aspect of freedom of speech, it does not speak to the issue as to whether the French as a whole agree with what is proposed here. Even if we do assume that this is emblematic of French culture as a whole, this would only be representative of French culture and not European culture, and to justify this point of view being wildly held by Europeans as a whole you would need more evidence than a petition in one country.
Simply put, this petition does not constitute a genuine critique of what would be considered uniquely American culture no matter how you try to spin it. It's actually largely irrelevant if I'm being honest.

Look man, I need to leave in 5 minutes to go to class. If you can't figure a means of critiquing American culture for something unrelated to age of consent and health care then your point is largely dismissed. There are so many things to critique America for other than that, but for whatever reason you've decided to narrow your view to only be conducive in relation to this one specific, niche viewpoint, and I can once again verify that your input isn't actually valuable.

I think this can be explained through a cultural lens with the understanding that poverty is the underlying issue rather than an actual racial issue, albeit crime is culturally ingrained into the black community on multiple levels. Again though, it's ingrain due to a long history of poverty.
Poor people as a whole commit crimes in urban areas, this is just a fact of modern life regardless of where you live so long as the punishment for crime is just, and race has little to do with it. Modern black people have been raised by people who have experienced overt racism in the workplace, diminishing their ability to gain success and wealth, so therefore its much more likely that a black person is going to be born into a poor culture in which crime is rampant, because again poverty breeds crime. It's a vicious cycle but it seems like its self correcting itself over time as black crime rates drop considering black people have been getting more opportunity through cultural homeostasis.

Why is it then that whites from intergenerationally poor communities commit violent crimes at a lower rate than wealthier blacks?
Why is it that in the pre-civil rights era, when separate but equal was the law of the land, when racism was far worse than it is today, and when poverty was material and not relative (ie. no running water or electricity vs a last generation iphone) did blacks have higher rates of 2-parent households, higher rates labor market participation, higher rates of entrepreneurship, and why did have their rates of home ownership only dropped since the 1960s?

Well not only is it hard to find counter research on these topics, but it's hard to find research on these topics. Not to be that guy, but some sources on that shit would make this discussion easier so that not only can I see the data, but counter research is easier to find with the initial research.
Taking these stats at face value however, I'd still argue there's unseen nuance. An intergenerationally poor white person is not only poor for different reasons, but their race is never a factor when they consider their circumstances, nor when others consider their circumstances. Black people are often told that their circumstance is due to their racial nature, which can be internalized, and therefore potentially justifying certain acts that they themselves already know are wrong. Also they come from a specific type of urban culture in which crime has been partially glorified due to it being a partial necessity, much more so in the past, in order to get by, and over time those who have done crime to get by have succeeded and have been deemed people who the younger generation want to mirror the actions of in order to gain success for themselves, creating a cycle, however this cycle all comes down to the initial discrimination that created the cultural environment for these conditions to be met.
I can't fully explain the phenomenon of why black fathers often leave their kids because that's a very true thing, however I can say that a child will often do as their parents do, or don't do, so maybe these kids grow up without fathers and when parenthood presents itself they do as their fathers do and dip. Maybe due to growing up without a father they aren't mentally prepared to actually take on the tolls of parenthood due to not knowing anything about the dynamic themselves.
Again though, very hard to find studies on this not only because I'm likely not using the right words, but racial studies are notoriously difficult to find through Google.

It should also be mentioned that finding a job as a black person is inherently harder due to preconceived notions about their race regardless of whether the employer is racist or not.

This is true, and goes back to the original intent of my post which was to highlight that there are things which can't be discussed (or even studied) in polite society. That being said I appreciate your thoughtful responses. I think there's something to the cultural component (some of the smartest people I've met have been African immigrants), though I vehemently disagree with 'racism' as the root cause.
Anyway, to answer your question, a solid overall source on race as a predictor of crime can be found here:
https://randomcriticalanalysis.com/2015/11/16/racial-differences-in-homicide-rates-are-poorly-explained-by-economics/
If you're inclined to dismiss it out of hand I would urge you to look at the data and the methodology first.
He has links in there to published research that backs the idea up as well, so feel free to dig through those (ex. Pratt and Cullen 2005; Land, McCall, and Cohen 1990; Templer and Rushton 2011).
>Black people are often told that their circumstance is due to their racial nature, which can be internalized, and therefore potentially justifying certain acts that they themselves already know are wrong.
I would disagree with this entirely. The narrative for the past decade at least, and ESPECIALLY post 2016 has been that blacks are where they are because whites/the system/etc keeps them down. Ergo when they lash out everyone (yourself seemingly included) is quick to remove their personal agency and place the blame in society's lap
>in order to get by, and over time those who have done crime to get by have succeeded and have been deemed people who the younger generation want to mirror
And yet many others have come out through non-criminal means and they're often disparaged by the people they left behind (armchair psych but probably because they show there is a non-criminal way out that the rest are too lazy to take)

Again, you're removing the locus of control from the individual. Is it harder to be a father if you've never had one? Undoubtably. But if you want to be a father at all, you'll stick it out once you have a kid and learn as you go.

Thanks man, this is incredibly thorough. I definitely don't have time to read much of it today, but I favorited it and I'll come back around to it on occasion. If you use a statistic that's relevant and on that page let me know so I can counter it.

The thing is that I don't entirely remove personal agency from black people in this instance, I just think that there are predetermined circumstances that land black people in the situations that they find themselves, most commonly being birthed into it, but also being denied jobs and social mobility due to their race. The way they react is on them as individuals, however I can't say what my reaction would be if I were found in a similar circumstance. The main thing is that personal agency isn't specifically relevant when discussing these issues. I would say on average more people are going to be reactive rather than meditate on their options, so on a larger scale you need to take on a consequential point of view when viewing issues effecting large populous like this, especially considering we aren't able to accurately determine generalized intent of action on the larger scale here.

To be fair with your second point, Occam's razor. People as a whole want the easiest solution. Especially when considering black people are in circumstances in which opportunity is stifled when compared to the opportunity white people have enjoyed, a larger portion of their population is rightfully going to resort to unethical means.

>> No.17116810

>>17116790
Well to elaborate on my father point, it's a kin to when someone is abused they are likely to become an abuser later in life. Or maybe that you become what raised you over time and you'll see it in your actions. I'm sure a lot of black men are fully aware that leaving their family is unethical, but people in general are pretty simple. They were raised without a father figure, and generally not much of a family structure, so they naturally abandon the idea in adulthood. There could be more reasonable explanation such as individual ego issues such as inability to provide due to less opportunity once again. Explanations here are going to be largely individualistic from person to person so it would be hard to pin point a genuine answer to the issue here, but I don't think something biologically within black men makes them prone to leaving their families. I'd actually be curious about black family structures in different parts of the world. Maybe I'll look into that later.

With your second point, you are 100% correct here. Crime and lack of personal responsibility are two things that are clearly rampant in black communities in America. As an employer, why the fuck would you hire a black person? To appease other white people? To not be labeled a racist? This is sound reasoning, but viewing it from the lens that black people were raised by people growing up in an overtly racist era breeds a certain kind of off spring. I hate to repeat myself here, but their parents had less opportunity which forced their kids to grow up under certain conditions, breeding a type of kid that wouldn't otherwise be bred if not for racism in America pre-civil rights.

Oh, before I go, I should point out that removing personal agency doesn't actually remove personal agency in a discussion like this, it just explains the actions of the individual from a non-biased view giving us the ability to view the reactionary actions of the individual from a non-consequential point of view in order to explain their consequential actions.

And yet, especially recently, major institutions have been tripping over themselves to bring in more black people, going so far as to discriminate against other races (though hopefully the SC will overturn affirmative action later this year). Yet despite this, blacks are still underrepresented in college education, an education gap which carries over directly into hiring.
>a larger portion of their population is rightfully going to resort to unethical means
This is a contradiction in terms. You cannot rightfully resort to unethical means. Not when we're talking homicide and aggravated assault. This isn't Jean Valjean stealing a loaf of bread.

>their parents had less opportunity which forced their kids to grow up under certain conditions, breeding a type of kid that wouldn't otherwise be bred if not for racism in America pre-civil rights.
And yet blacks were better off economically and socially BEFORE civil rights. Almost as if self-reliance on a mass scale (mass scale here being what it always is- the sum of individual choices, many at that time forced by circumstances far worse than those facing blacks today) creates better outcomes for all parties involved.

Generally I agree that affirmative action isn't a means of correcting issues. Poor public schooling in inner cities doesn't exactly produce kids with aspirations, and a larger portion of black kids populate inner city schools. Generally due to funding in lower income areas the schooling is going to be worse, and regardless of current economic band aids black kids often have parents that are products of poverty, who are also products of poverty, who are also products of poverty. In a capitalist society (which I'm in favor of, I'm not advocating for communism) economic upwards mobility is unlikely, even more so for those that are living in poverty.

It's hard to find statistics on whether black people were doing better before civil rights as the link you provided doesn't seem to cover a relevant statistic, but I might be wrong it's fairly expansive. Admittedly though, I'm unable to read the majority of the actual data presented here. I can the idea and can inference some shit out of it, but I don't understand the metrics used in the graphs as I'm uneducated. Regardless, I can't exactly refute your point due to that fact that I only have your word on that issue, and it's extremely hard to find statistics on black success metrics pre-civil rights.

I think we'll agree to disagree in the case of learned paternal absence, as this phenomenon seems pretty clearly to be a learned trait perpetuated by lack of perceived ability to act as a parent due to upbringing. I think their personal agency is lost through cultural normalization of the issue, and it does seem to be multi layered. I'm not saying I take away their personal agency, I'm saying they have psychologically dismissed it.

I'd like to point out that through the source you gave me I noticed that while American born black people have much higher incarceration rates, black immigrants have similar rates to native white people, which I can infer means these issues are largely cultural rather than biological.

>No, I didn't. Didn't vote
But you did
Not voting IS functionally the same as voting because it means your choice helped the winner.

If a politician won by like 15 votes, but 100 people didn't vote, that means that those 100 non votes are 100 LESS votes for the losing side which could have helped them win.

>fashion meetup
>none of them are fashionable
you'd think that people who spend majority of their spare time shitposting on a fashion forum would atleast put some effort into their appearance. All of these dudes are completely unremarkable at best, and at worst they have no sense of color coordination, proportions or personal style. Remember, everytime someone talks shit on this board this is what they look like.
