Sure they have. It's a matter of creating a definition that says what you want it to say. Like defining Pluto as a planet...or not.

No, it doesn't.

Which means the test did nothing but note that people have an initial negative response to a chance in their routine situation which dies down after they see the change is unimportant. <yawn> That's certainly not the spin you initially attempted to place on it.

I'm not going to disagree with that. I'm politically liberal, but I also know how to research political trends. Yes, all that is contained in Critical Theory, which is the ivory tower version of Marxism. Critical Theory is the basis of CRT, Radical Feminism, and identity politics.

First, I'm talking about the political atmosphere of the 80s and urban ghetto areas. If you check , you see that currently 70% of black births are to unwed mothers. Beyond your small southern town black neighborhood, things are very different. I've already pointed out that black culture is...

Ah...that's the particular flavor of Kool-Aid you've drunk. I'm aware of that line of propaganda.

That paper mentions its own weaknesses. First, it was not able to reproduce the actual effects of migration, such as "out group" people actually moving next door as neighbors. That is more substantial a concern than perhaps the author understands, and relates to my question of how they were...

The primary such welfare program was Aid to Families with Dependent Children, which was passed in 1936 during the Great Depression. The purpose of the program was to keep white mothers out of the Depression-era work force where they would have been in competition with their own husbands and...

People who make a living pushing racism as a continuing and serious issue have run into a problem: The Jim Crow laws and policies of "structural racism" have been almost completely eliminated. Yet, there continues to be disparities between races, particularly the poor showing among many black...

Because "systemic racism" has been explained as the results of actions by individuals rather than the "structural racism" (written laws and economic policies) of the past. And all the attempts of correcting "systemic racism" basically boil down to "You think wrong and need re-education."

It was, very specifically, Radical Feminism (capitalized because it is a specific ideology) that introduced the concept of women not needing fathers in the home to raise children. It was novel....up until then black marriage rates had been actually higher than white marriage rates. That...

Right now, Star Trek doesn't have anything as well written as Andor.

As I frequently say, "There is always more than one thing happening." The "Great Recession" happened early in the century, setting Millennials back economically, with the artificially induced Covid Depression occurring before Millennials had recovered and just as Gen Z was entering college...

Any place to read about the study without having to subscribe to the Washington Post? However, from scant amount of information you provided...nothing fascinating about that at all, if the point is to prove something about "in groups" and "out groups." You say, for instance, that the commuters...
