While representing 13% of the total US population, Blacks represent 40% of prison population.
40/13 verses 60/87 --> 3.07 verses 0.69 --> blacks 4.45x as likely in prison as total US population as a whole

89.6/49 verses 10.4/51 --> 1.83 verses 0.20 --> men 9.15x as likely in prison as total US population as a whole

intersectionalism

WFT is that? It's hard to keep up with all the new words being invented every minute.

Intersectionalism is a code word covering for avoiding responsibility for one's own failures by blaming people who work harder.

But then again, China is deliberately dividing us with all of this.

Damned if you object to wokeness, and damned if you don't.

I'm close friends with several Chinese people (now most are US citizens). They can't believe how stupid the US is for giving away its citizens' future. But hey, if someone is giving away their future, you might as well grab it for yourself.

The Chinese have a huge advantage in that they are all Chinese, except for some Uighurs and other edge cases near their borders.

America's greatest weakness is its diversity.

Americans mostly don't care about each other or all think the same way. Our tragedy has been the celebration of diversity when we should be stressing UNITY above all else.

"E pluribus unum" has been entirely forgotten when it should be absolutely central to everything we are taught.
