Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Hispanic ban beaten by a group of black men.

I wonder how long it will take Jessie Jackson and Al NotSo Sharpton to get on this case?

Wow. Blaming someone for a crime and calling them racist with little to no evidence of either. If Nugent learns to edit audio he could be inline for next President of NBC.

Wait.....he is in the music biz so he probably does know how to edit audio. NBC should snag him up before the next race baiting opportunity come about.

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

I think the difference is similar to the difference between a generalization and a stereotype. The former can be based on statistics, e.g. saying "blacks are more likely to commit a crime that whites," and the latter says something ignorant like "all blacks are criminals" or "all blacks are thugs."

GZ was profiling when he determined that TM was acting weird, and wandering around in the rain. He was not being a racist.

Federal Statistics of black on white violence, with links and mathematical extrapolation formulas

Posted on Wed 11 Apr 2012 11:26:47 PM PDT by doug from upland

The “New Century Foundation” studies Federal crime reports, and found significant differences in crime ratio between races, verified by the FBI’s NCVS, National Crime Victimization Survey, and The Department of Justice’s UCR, Uniform Crime Reports, FBI Communication’s Division, 304-625-4995.

They state emphatically that the Judicial System is not biased against minorities.

Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.

Blacks are three times more likely to use a hand gun, and twice more likely to use a knife.

Hispanics commit three times more violent crimes than whites, but the statistics are nebulous because sometimes they are classified as white, so it could be far higher.

The best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percent of the population that is black and Hispanic.

Blacks are 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against whites then vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit a robbery.

Forty-five percent of black crime is against whites, 43 against other blacks, and 10 percent against Hispanic.

Blacks are seven times more likely to go to prison, Hispanics three times, and the reason is clear, because from 1980 to 2003 the US incarceration rate has tripled, and so proves that Justice is not only hard won, but well served.

Guttenberg analogy. Nugent says something stupid, so obviously we should point a finger at NBC because they were dishonest earlier.

Poverty, not race, has the highest correlation of crime rate......period. OSU study found basically no difference between white and black crime rates in disadvantaged areas.

By themselves, neither profiling or ring racist are illegal. It is the actions that come with them that can be.

Profiling is what normal people do on a regular basis. For example, a black guy knocks on my door and says he's being paid to talk with people about their career decisions, and this is designed to help him advance. I access the situation and surmise that he's going to try to sell me magazines. A few minutes later my assumption is proven to be correct. Or a white guy wearing a tie knocks on my door and says he wants to talk about my life. I immediately profile the situation and realize he's a Morman trying to save me. While wondering why I answered the door, it only takes a couple of minutes to know I was correct, and I send him on his way.

Just find it interesting that you didn't link to any one of dozens or more quotes from celebrities doing the exact same thing for the other side.

Simple reason: those kinds of posts have already been made here. Think back to a separate thread on Alec Baldwin's tweet: I fully said he was in the wrong. Just don't think it's too much to ask to think that Nugent should be called out as well.

HaHa Tonight I got home and saw a couple of guys in white shirts and ties coming to our door. My daughter and I hid. Profiling can be a pretty good tool. :P
