Between this and Ratburn's gay wedding, what the fuck happened man?

It's children's programming, who is so evil as to try to imprint their ideology on 6 year olds?

>>16158525
Oh yes it was so good the heckin 2 years ago you are such an old fag! really two years woah!

>>16159955
Ratburn was always gay, so having a problem with that is dumb.

Arthur always has taken stances on the child version of social issues as well, they did basic fake news almost a decade ago when the internet was first becoming a thing for kids, and they're doing it again now when understanding basic race relations is becoming a thing for kids too. If you're objecting now, you never understood what you were looking at in the first place.

you mean misunderstanding the current state of race relations based of far left propoganda.

Why would anyone support niggers? I mean they account for 13% of the population but commit more than 57% of the murders? Really makes you thonk

>>16160064
First rude. Second, I'm sorry you feel that way, and I hope you work through your feelings on that, because it IS normal for some portion of society and having your existence demonized is pretty shitty.

>>16160072
If I thought you were acting in good faith, I'd happily discuss your stat being
>Pulled from a stormfront neonazi stats copypasta
>The particular stat being wrong, even when evaluated neutrally, and is only true for homicide, with all other stats being comparable to all other races, and
>These high homicide rates are a result of poverty, which drives gang membership because people will join to get a chance to live a normal life when you're living in a ghetto, have few meaningful job opportunities to provide for yourself and your family, and are structurally discriminated against, rather than because of any genetic pre-disposition to crime, which has consistently been disproved.

But you already are a mask-off hard-R racist, so I hope it's obvious for any onlookers you're not acting in good faith and can be dismissed as a pants-on-head retard and sister-fucker.

>>16160041
>10 years ago
Arthur was only good in the 90's

>>16160308
Yeah but its true even if you compare across income classes with whites. i.e rich blacks vs. rich whites and poor blacks vs. poor whites, in all categories blacks commit more crimes (including violent crime). Even black cops racially profile blacks as being more criminal than other races. Are they racist too?

And of course that's without getting into the barrel of snakes which is sub-saharan Africa.

>>16158513
>>16160261
Why was this such an iconic moment in Arthur /lit/ bros?

>>16160349
>Are they racist too?
Yeah. People are complicated - there are white people who hate white people, self-hating men and women, and sure enough, black cops who profile black people. This should be obvious if you're older than ten.

>in all categories blacks commit more crimes
This
>more crimes commited
stat is in practice a
>more racism in the criminal justice system
stat, because at all levels (profilings, arrests, convictions, sentencings) is harsher on black people than other races, even controlling for the same crimes, prior records, etc.

>Sub-saharan africa
Is Arthur set in sub-Saharan Africa?

No?

Then it's not even tangentially related, please fuck off.

>>16159182
They're fucking animals dude, they have fur color not skin color. Fictionalize it, make it about some new species moving into the neighborhood getting bullied. That's more effective than preaching.

I've has great random chats with women at the library, pity they are all 60+.

>>16160403
I don't know, the simpler explanation tends to be the correct one. There's probably confluence of factors which contributes to greater black criminality, but I doubt that racism is at the top of that list. It's more likely to be something like IQ (for which there's a strong correlation with criminality, even stronger than income, and in particular: getting caught). But given your vitriol and harsh language I don't think there's any chance of having a decent conversation either way.

>>16158273

>>16160472
>But given your vitriol and harsh language
Lemme just quote you five seconds ago:

>Why would anyone support niggers?

>>16160472
>more likely to be something like IQ
This is a factual question when phrased in these terms then, of
>Are crime rate differences primarily caused by criminal justice system bias, or IQ?

And everything I found immeasurably supports bias.

One report at https://www.sentencingproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Black-Lives-Matter.pdf proves overwhelming to me, with the following stats which they include sources for:

>If you're black, you're 3.5 times as likely to be stopped by police
>You're about twice as likely to be searched by police, despite being about half as likely to actually have contraband compared to white people
>You're arrested at twice the rate during traffic stops
>You're three times as likely to be imprisoned at some point in your life if you're a black man versus all other races
>Almost four times as many black people get arrested for weed despite only using 30% more marijuana
And this is just from skimming. It seems clear from things like the weed stat and search stat that it's not about
>who gets caught more,
it's
>who is the system working hardest to catch?

In short, in the report's words,
>these studies concluded that between 61% and 80% of black overrepresentation in prison is explained by higher rates of arrest
And the remainder is explained by racial bias.

I don't get how him liking cake makes him gay

It's okay anon, after the election we can arthur post to our hearts content

>>16160985
Yeah I'm also confused about that. I like cake too, does that mean I'm gay?

>>16160969
Blacks have higher ingroup preference than whites and more hatred to outgroups than whites. Numerous studies have shown this. That a violent minority is punished more harshly than the less-violent native born majority is hardly evidence of bias. That whatever bias there is, is so small is frankly astounding. Blacks could not wish for a better situation than living as a minority in a white-majority country.

>>16160969
yeah blacks are just arrested more, Detroit is actually as safe as a white city

>>16158273
NYC is a shithole but going to the research library to read a hard-to-find book in the rose room is peak /comfy/

What happened to that boy? Nobody knows.

>>16162100
detroit is actually pretty safe now because it's fucking empty. less than half the people live there than did in 1970

>>16162114
i can still remember my hometown library card number, you didn't even have to show the card itself because they trusted you to be honest

I cant go to the library anymore.
This cutie girl from my studies is there always and walks around bare feet.
I know she likes me since she started writing me randomly when we first got to know each other, laughs at all I say, and every time we see each other in the library staircase we pause and chat and when the library closes we walk home again towards the old dorms till our paths or plans separate us. She is really kind but her teasing me with her feet crushes me. I can’t focus after I have seen her prancing around our halls with her feet.
>bad feet only that she doesn’t care if they get dirty which takes away a lot, but still: her toes and arches ache me even then

>>16160261
Holy fucking shit I did not remember I remembered this

>>16162116
Youre wantonly incorrect. Detroit is highly dangerous and all the emptiness has achieved is giving criminals a plethora of abandoned houses to choose from and made it harder to patrol by the already borderline non existent police.
Go hang out on Jefferson at 10:30pm.

>>16162100
>Gangs as a response to poverty exist, which raise certain actual crime rates, particularly homicide
>Cops and the justice system are discriminatory, arrest more, and this reflects in higher perceived-but-not-actually-greater crime rates than the rest of the populace in non-gang activity

These can be true at the same time, and Detroit isn't safe because it's poor as shit, which means acts of desperation and gangs, not because it's black. You've confused an economic and racial issue.

>>16162090
>Punish them more harshly, they should love it!
Your views are so stupid that I'm convinced your parents tried to abort you and failed.

>>16162170
Crazy, huh?

>>16162190
like it or not violent crime is the lowest it's been in almost half a century across the board

>>16162293
Nah faggot, from your fucking pic: proportionately to population it has remained steady

>>16162293
>violence has almost returned to the levels it was at before we riled up the negros
This is hardly helping your case

I would go to the library to play runescape

>>16162156
poor you, not asking her out and getting a gf to explore the literary and philosophical depths of being in the world

>>16162293
I don't really have a need to argue with you because I grew up and currently live near Detroit and if you think it's safe go walk your dog down Harper at night.

>>16162402
i'd really like to know who's going to rob you when there's nobody around

>>16160969
>DESPITE (AND THAT'S WHITE PEOPLE'S FAULT)

Absolutely wrong. Libraries only have middle aged women and small children.

>These can be true at the same time, and Detroit isn't safe because it's poor as shit,
Being black is more highly correlated with criminality than being poor. Next.

>>16160041
liking cake and puppets and medieval fairs isn't gay
Ratburn used to be a cool dude

>>16160395
It's catchy as hell.

I have a e library card that I've been putting to good use lately. Don't really watch tv/movies so i usually read most of the day & if it wasn't for my library card I'd go broke buying books.
