Americans Would Rather Do Business With White People Than Black People
thinkprogress.org/economy/2014/05/30/3443205/black-online-sellers/ There is deep racial bias in our economy, as evidenced by the fact that online buyers shy away from doing business with black sellers and offer them less money when they do interact. ![]() |

Reminds me of this hidden camera stunt that I saw where there's this guy dressed up in the black power gear standing in a garden centre next to a sign about how you can get a free hoe. "A free ho? You think that I'm a pimp because I'm black and you don't even have to pay because you're white?"

And furthermore;
Jesus loves the little children, All the little children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, They are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world. Everything is beautiful in it's own way. Like the starry summer night, or a snow-covered winter's day. And everybody's beautiful in their own way. Under God's heaven, the world's gonna find the way. There is none so blind as he who will not see. We must not close our minds; we must let our thoughts be free. For every hour that passes by, we know the world gets a little bit older. It's time to realize that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. And everything is beautiful in it's own way. Like the starry summer night, or a snow-covered winter's day. Oh, sing it children! Everybody's beautiful in their own way. Under God's heaven, the world's gonna find the way. We shouldn't care about the length of his hair, or the color of his skin. Don't worry about what shows from without, but the love that lives within. And we're gonna get it all together now; everything gonna work out fine. Just take a little time to look on the good side my friend, And straighten it out in your mind. And everything is beautiful in it's own way. Like the starry summer night, or a snow-covered winter's day. Ah, sing it children! Everybody's beautiful in their own way, Under God's heaven the world's gonna find a way. One more time! Everything is beautiful in it's own way. Like the starry summer night, or a snow-covered winter's day... Explanationsnew Meanings Share Translate |

The author of that article is about as slanted as the great Odumbo. Was any consideration given at all for what the author was all about, of course not, otherwise one may have discovered all her articles are slanted towards feminine or racial bias. Posts by Bryce Covert But let's look at the authors of the term paper that this is based on from Stanford, a paper from 2010 by the way. First there was Luke Stein, that received his PhD in Economics from Stanford in 2013, so this would have something to do with his Masters, too early for thesis so just a term paper. And the main author, Jennifer L. Doleac, this was her one and only scholarly paper at Sanford. But the paper itself represents nothing, no peer review, no publication and without having an account, the 22 page paper is not available in it's entirety, just short excerpts. Therefore the only useful purpose of this whole article is the basis of another slanted view meant for the ignorant masses that will believe anything that has any quasi slant in their direction. I've come to realize that the biggest problem anywhere in the world is that people's perceptions of reality are compulsively filtered through the screening mesh of what they want, and do not want, to be true. - Travis Walton And that certainly is demonstrated on a daily basis. Even right here in this forum. |

Anyone that buys an electronic item from an individual seller on craigslist, regardless of their race, is an idiot. I think that would in and of itself be a pretty idiotic statement unless one hasn't a clue about what they are buying, the true idiots that should avoid anything but an authorized retailer. I have bought and sold many things, including electronics on CraigsList for many, many years and have never been surprised nor disappointed. But then brainless idiots are taken advantage of in many areas of life. Some of them even paying tens and tens of thousands of dollars for an education in the finest indoctrination centers, just to find competing for a job at McDonald's is strenuous. |

Yes I am sure you have along with surviving the titanic and being on the grassy knoll right behind the second shooter. As with every topic I am sure you are an electronics expert. I can revise my remark to say that everyone but the mingle 2 electronics expert is an idiot for buying electronics on craigslist. Maybe Malaysia airlines should hire you to find their plane. I am sure you could take the satellite data and locate the plane rather easily. Oh wait... you already know where the plane is.. Diego Garcia.. |

The findings of a single study have to be confirmed by other studies performed by separate parties. 2) I cannot rule out the possibility that the results of the aforementioned study will be confirmed by separate parties. |
