Wow that is some fucking insightful shit right there. Please take my money.

Well this is a relief, according to the article the guy who followed a black person for miles to call them the n-word repeatedly in his driveway "insists he is not a bigot."

This is the best one in the thread, and maybe the only actual good one in this entire thread.

The most detailed breakdown I've seen is from this FT article: https://www.ft.com/content/efc1bb08-90f1-11e8-b639-7680cedcc421 Donald Trump’s Rose Garden truce with the EU has, in the short term, avoided any escalation of a transatlantic trade war and been welcomed from Berlin to Washington by those fearing the economic consequences. But a long-term peace remains distant and vulnerable to the whims of the US president. The ceasefire announced by Mr Trump and the EU’s Jean-Claude Juncker at the White House on Wednesday calls for discussions over how to reduce tariffs and other trade barriers related to industrial goods other than cars, and to mount a joint push to reform the World Trade Organization. In a victory for Mr Juncker, it puts further tariffs — including Mr Trump’s threatened 20 per cent levy on auto imports— on hold while talks proceed. Yet it is unclear what the US president gets out of it other than a short-term political win at a time when he is under fire over his trade policies at home. ... read more at https://www.ft.com/content/efc1bb08-90f1-11e8-b639-7680cedcc421

Garrison's take on the Helsinki summit is an all-time classic:

Miami 01 should be #2. That Florida team was loaded with NFL talent, though. FSU '13 also loaded with NFL talent, but they didn't play any quality opponents until the MNC game.

Yeah, Trump dropped the threat of auto tariffs and agreed to re-open the TTIP talks that he had scuttled earlier. Europe got both things they wanted and didn't give anything up. It was unilateral disarmament by Trump, which means he is going to focus on China and didn't want to fight a two-front trade war.

Can you explain the bolded part, I don't understand what you are saying our policy was.

Let's all hope that Trump's supporters are dumb enough that this agreement to hold future negotiations can be sold as a "win" and we can move on from this stupid trade war.

Trump's policy reminds me of Reagan saying "If it moves, tax it. If it stops moving, subsidize it." Although Reagan was criticizing this not advocating it.

Having fun here thinking about Reagan saying "Mr. Gorbachev, don't tear down this wall" and only realizing 24 hours later. Nixon saying “I’m a crook” and not realizing it until 24 hours later. "I did have sexual relations with that woman" "I take pride in the words... “I’m not from Berlin!”

He will certainly find new lows from here, but it's hard not to think the Helsinki press conference will be remembered by historians as one of the most defining moments of the Trump presidency.

Have we ever seen an American president so thoroughly dominated on the world stage by a rival?

How can the entire Trump cabinet not resign after this spectacle?

This press conference with Putin is beyond words. This will go down in history as one of the most astonishing acts of weakness in American presidential history.

1) The result is very highly statistically significant. They go into great length showing this. 2) They do post the full list of names. Again, a quick read would tell you this information. Boston and Chicago are both major U.S. cities, if you weren't aware. The fact that institutional racism is present in them is therefore obvious important and meaningful. This study has been replicated many times since then in other settings as well. Besides, you claim that the fact that discrimination against blacks isn't important because it is in a city with a high black population, but that is totally backwards. 3) They sent these to all the job ads posted in the local newspapers, thats a pretty reasonable set of firms, and a very large one as well. 4-5) And the conclusions are not based on conjecture, literally the only thing different between the two resumes is the name. Everything else is controlled for. This is therefore a perfect controlled experiment to see if the name is the thing causing discrimination. And since the names are carefully chosen based on racial representation, these studies provide incontrovertible evidence of widespread racial discrimination.

If you look at my post, there is one of many studies in it where they controlled for things like education and credit score. Please go back and read the study before commenting.

Any services streaming season 1 besides comedycentral.com? I love Sam Richardson but missed this show completely.

There seems to be a segment of older, white people for whom the only thing that counts as racism is yelling the N-word. And if society frowns on yelling the N-word then society can't possibly be racist. Things like discrimination in getting jobs, getting credit, and customer service don't count. Being more likely to be arrested for the same behavior as whites doesn't count. Harsher sentences for the same crime doesn't count. Getting the cops called on you for hanging out at the pool certainly doesn't count.

Here is a classic one from 2003 that has been replicated dozens of times since then. When you put a black sounding name on a job application, loan application, etc, you are much less likely to get a response than a "white" name even when the qualifications are identical. The author's summary:

Best blowout I attended in person. I'm surprised when I look it up the halftime score was only 35-3, felt like more. Loudest game I ever attended too. One poor Mizzou fan with facepaint and everything sat right next to me in a massive sea of orange, I felt bad for him.
