I’m a homicide detective. I’ve been explaining this to people for years. I attended community meetings and gave these numbers. People that held these meetings complained to my chief because my using FBI statistics wasn’t matching the message they wanted to portray. Instead of telling them what I was saying was the facts, I was told to stop attending the meetings. What does that tell you?
They will never admit you're right. There was a rumor that Tommy Hilfiger appeared on Oprah and said he didn't want black people buying his clothing. He never said that. He had never been on Oprah. She invited him on the show to dispel the rumor, but to this day people insist it happened. They will never let go of their victim card.
Retired New York City detective here. Like you I did a fair amount of public speaking. I would give this lecture a grade of "incomplete." There was no mention of the major cause of death among blacks, namely "black on black" homicides. The vast majority of black crime victims are victimized by black criminals. I would love to see a side by side comparison of black on black stats vs cops and blacks stats.
@@1982nsu Saw the statistics once (unfortunately I didn't keep a link), but the ratio was horrible. As you say, the most likely case for a black person to get killed is by getting shot by another black person. If we start counting at January 1st, then the number of killed people PER YEAR by the police, would most likely be reached in January alone. Also: there are roughly 61 MILLION police interactions each year, of which less then 100 ends with the police shooting a black person. And yet some activists act as if a black person just needs to put out 1 toe out of the door and gets shot immediately by an officer. I am not saying, that nobody gets shot by the police and each one is one too many. But keep it in perspective! The numbers are much lower then you think they are. If BLM wants to do something substantial for the black community, then for heavens sake start with addressing black on black crime!
@@1982nsu I’ve seen the stats. Compared to black on black homicides, police related are minuscule. Unjustified killings by police are almost non existent percentage wise but that doesn’t interest the main stream media. It doesn’t sell.
Do you always answer questions with a question? Professors are capable of being knowledge gatekeepers. No one graduates without their approval. Combine that with esoteric knowledge and front groups such as Freemasons and there's nothing to stop them. @@GrimpleGromble
@@derp8575 sooooo. What your saying is that your man that this professor is teaching these kids to use their own brains. To use critical Thinking to figure things out. He isn’t teaching them to follow the band wagon. And that’s where it sounds like you have the issue.
I took a class in college in 1998. called myths of Sociology. At the end of the semester, almost every black person, and women were mad at the professor. Even back then, these statistics were very similar.
He never said that racism edoes not exist. Because cops are human sometimes power goes to your head regardless of skin color. Your skin is not in control of how you think. Some doctors ad nurses kill there patience some teachers have sexual relations with young students. But that is the few not the many. There is just as many good people in any profession as bad you just have to look for it
The indoctrination of these kids is fascinating. When presented with facts and logic they automatically revert to the rhetoric they have had force fed. Interesting to watch them struggle with their ideas being challenged
Isn't that what college is all about? Young minds being challenged... Your comment is so refreshing to see. That girl who's saying, "Black men have it harder..." In terms of being a victim of police violence. Wow.
What your told first on a topic is predominantly what you believe, especially if a lot of time goes by while believing that. It becomes your world view and it then affects your voting choices a lot. Thats the core reason for all the misrepresentation.
Yuri Bezminov was exactly right. These kids are completely demoralized. No amount of facts, logic and rationality will be able to change their minds. They will be this way forever. It's really sad to see.
Yes the girl that thought that literally only black and hispanics get killed by cops, zero whites. A cop shot Richard Lee Richards 9 times in the back as he tried to escape into a walmart in an electric wheelchair. Since Richards was white, it didn't fit the narrative, and received no coverage from the national news. (the cop was fired but charges against him were dropped).
I’m stating the obvious, that would take the media to broadcast it. They already have a narrative. This is in direct opposition to their collective position.
I dare you to check his facts. 135 unarmed black men were killed by cops 2015. He went with 2016. BLM was not created by Colin. He kneeled 2016.Teacher lies in the 1st 10 seconds. BLM was started 2013. You're being had like these young ppl in this class. Do your own research
@@Ambrovious Nice perception of reality that you have there, I'm going to take your house from you now because your claim of ownership is ultimately worthless. Your "human rights" as well are non-existent, just a bunch of words confidently asserted to a big cosmic accident. Nobody truly believes any of that crap. Lol
A teacher challenging his students preconceptions,. Wow. Never had one of those in University and I graduated only 10 years ago. We need more like him.
These "STATISTICS" are the results of WHITE people deciding what DATA to "record", and then WHITE people deciding which "recorded data" to "collect", and then WHITE people deciding what "collected data" to "compile", and then WHITE people deciding what "compiled data" to include in "this finial report". And then a WHITE person "presents" this "report" to a room full of mush heads. ... The entire American Justice System and Law Enforcement is TAINTED with WHITE SUPREMACY. All the bobble heads in this room just nod along with this farce.
I think they need preconceptions before you can challenge them. They can’t even finish their twisted non-committal phrases let alone complete sentences. I went to junior college in 1978 in San Diego. First you don’t put a girl dressed like a whore out in the middle of an open space. Then you don’t keep prancing around the room flailing your arms in peoples faces, then you make them answer instead of sitting there with their heads up their asses. Every “student” who spoke would have been flunked out of every class I attended, and they would have gotten groans and looks of utter disbelief and disgust from the rest of us.
Fun fact, 2013 is the exact year that researchers have traced the new resurgence of woke culture to truly have taken hold in. Which means you were attending classes right at the start and true beginning of this nonsense
Maybe I am seeing it wrong but the one main girl that was African American didn’t seem to think it changed anything. That is my objective opinion as well as the white girl. Not sure he made any impact….give him credit for the way he presented the data
All victims to violence America, when divided by the entire population is a small issue. Look up the men's death in the US by prostate cancer. I'll do it for you it's approximately 30,000. Divide that by the entire US population of 340,000,000 and then prostate cancer looks like a tiny issue that we shouldn't be bothered about. 30,000Is only 0.0008Of the US population. It's so easy to trick people with poor thinking skills by using statistics. 😂😂😂
… which ends up hurting their community, because then it encourages them to not obey the law, and to have harmful attitudes and angry beliefs that results in more conflict
You can bring a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. He did a great job of bringing them to the water. I also like that he's trying to teach them to think deeper, and to draw their own conclusions instead of taking things at face value
I think that the way he asks the questions and induces people to actually do an action, ie. to tell their neighbor in the class their guess, really makes the students rethink and expose what is already planted in their minds. This course will really make them rethink their deeply planted prejudices, and get them to change the way the take in information.
As an engineer, when you are trying to problem solve, defining the problem as accurately as possible results in appropriate solutions. When a problem is exaggerated, you end up applying solutions that will not work, create new problems, or make things much worse.
So what is the problem actually? That black people own guns in the land of free gun rights? That most black people are not killed when meeting cops? What exactly are you trying to say here??
Right on! How many times do young people have to say "like" in any given sentence? By my count, just like there are now 36 genders, there must be 36 different definitions of "like".
Even he's actually biased (I've watched him a ton). If not, he'd drive home the fact of how many blacks kill blacks in the US every year (nearly 12,000 in 2021). Or even how many of those black police shootings (of the less than 250) were committed by black officers.
Well since we are thinking without emotions, I thought Mexicans were native Americans before they their land was borrowed & never returned. Things that make you go Hmm.. Ireland and Europe I believe white ancestry comes from over there on that side of the ocean.

@@kevino2783 Not so much the woman with the mic, whose opinion he kept asking. For example, when he asked if the guy with the "I am next?" sign was right to ask that.
There are lies, damn lies, and then statistics. You can take any problem that we have an America and divided those effected by the problem by 240,000,000, which is the total U.S. population and it's going to look like a tiny problem. He is deceptive and has an agenda. We do not need more professors like him.
When he said, "Well maybe black people are doing more things to provoke the police...", that black girls head just dropped. That Richards then invites her back into the conversation is great on his part. What will bring us where we need to go is transparency from government, media, NGO's.
.... for middle school students. I used to be a juvenile probation officer. By the time a kid is 12 or 13, the media has already jaded him against the police. And too many of the "mostly peaceful protesters" have never seen the inside of a college classroom.
It’s Soc 101 a LOT of people do take it for their gen Ed requirements. The problem is that most professors wouldn’t dare teach it this way. I took soc 101 and it was nothing like this guys classes. Edit: my bad I just realized it’s Soc 119… which is probably a more tailored soc… lol but point still stands.
It’s important to be charitable in these situations, as we would hope others to be to us. These students might not be familiar enough with statistics to know what this means; they might also have nothing to compare it to (e.g. the professor could use the population of a US city to try and give the students some perspective; my home town has a population of just over 250,000 and if only 1 person was shot every year that’s pretty low). It could be core values or indoctrination, but remember how susceptible young people are to being indoctrinated because they have less experience and knowledge against which to test the claims they’re being told. We ought to be charitable because much of the cultural mess we’re in has come from a general lack of charitability. If we’re going to get through this we need to be optimistic, patient and charitable.
@@thefuturist8864 giving population sizes by percentage, showing how many are killed each year both unarmed and armed is plenty of information to come to the conclusion he was steering them towards. The girls even admitted that they just "see what social media" shows them, which is clearly not true. I have no sympathy for people who don't look at things from multiple angles and choose to think what they've been told to.

You'd think by how many white people get killed you'see it at least as often in the news, not less. Makes you wonder who benefits by stirring racial resentment
all anyone had to do is look at the FBI annual reports....to see statics about of the supposed nonsense. Suppose racism & police don't & cant' explain how 90% of black homicides no matter method of death is black on black crime.

He's definitely biased, need to listen better. However he's also teaching what appears to be a critical thinking class of some sort. He's able to rationally think, and apply reasoning; as such he's able to analyze and minimize his implied biases.
I love these lectures. They calmly push for open mindness and logical analysis. You can tell some of these students are raised to think a certain way and walk on egg shells instead of not being afraid to express the meaning of these statistics

Looking at B-on-W violent crime rate statistics indicates that we have a problem with racism, but it ain't Caucasians causing it. Every year there are tens of thousands of B-on-W rapes, and practically zero W-on-B rapes. At what point in history have oppressed people been able to rape their oppressors?

Not sure what you’re saying. The stats he presented showed the black people are killed by the police at a rate more than twice as frequently compared to white.
Crazy that this came out 5 years ago and UA-cam just now threw it into my feed. Obviously it hasn’t hit many other people’s feed either…. Solid explanation of the facts. I agree that even 1 unarmed death of anyone is concerning but I work in the medical field. We consent patients for elective medical procedures were the risk of death is higher than .6%.
n 2020 I read the WP data and it had a breakout of the unarmed deaths. Of the 22 unarmed black deaths, more that half resulted while attacking a police officer.(Including Michael Brown, Ferguson, Mo) This brings the unjustified unarmed black killings down to less than 10 out of a population of 39,000,000.
But even those cases of unarmed people what were the circumstances. Did the cop panic and think someone was reaching for a gun, did they have someone in a headlock, were they actively commiting a crime, or were they compliant or just walking down the street, was these in an area where there are high violent crime rates or not not that it means its okay or not but cops have a bloody hard job every routine traffic stop can turn into a violent confrontation. The lack of empathy for that is telling. Again im not saying its okay or shouldn't be rightly investigated but circumstances matter.
@@daisyfish-fn4js Your asking about the circumstances was beyond the scope of the presentation which is the cops are not out to kill blacks and the numbers prove this. The circumstances can be looked at but now you have a framework. You have a weapon (which 211 of 233 blacks did) when so confronting a cop - you get shot, black, white who ever. Rai ipso luquiter - "The thing speaks for itself". Of the remaining 22 black, the WP breakout (I read in 2020) was not complete as to the less than 10 and I don't remember the specific number of incidents cited. Of the less than 10, 4 (+/-) resulted in officer going to jail. There are and will always be a few bad cops just as there will always be bad (and idiot) citizens. You are writing about utopia.
I LOVED the way he allowed and put the kids in a position to THINK!!!! He didn't preach what to believe the entire time!!!! "This is a thinking class". Loved when he said that.
He wanted them to be involved and think about it. Otherwise they will ignore the information and think it's bs. Kids just want to preach without knowing the facts. One group leader tells them something and they all follow
I work at a local college in the US and can say from this one video, this professor is one of the real gems of education. Fact driven, engaging, incentivizing class participation (you can really hear the room rumble when he told ppl to tell their numbers to the person next to them!). All hallmarks of a charismatic educator.
I was a cop in LA for 29 years. My first year on the street the department was up for a pay raise. Anti police stories flooded news stories. I put that information in the back of my head. There was little citizen support for a pay raise. We got a 3% raise in four years. Three and half years passed and it was time to begin pay raise negotiations. The news began putting out negative stories again. The dragged in old and new race issues involving the department. Once again a very small pay raise. I brought this to the attention of my peers during roll call, many were older and had more time on the job. I told them to just keep this information in the back of their head till the next time a pay raise comes up. They were blown away. People don't realize how the news media and politicians work together to screw people and sway public opinion.
Crying about pay raise when crime is outpacing your pay! In real world when quality of services goes down, folks get fired yet you are unable to comprehend basic value for being hired!
@@litoaykiu i lived in a town were cops got paid 10 an hour. guy on the town committee would say pay cops 10 dollars an hour you get 10 dollar cops. he just explained how the police were slowly being defunded getting no raise and crime raises and you put no connection between the two?
So, you mean a right view, because you want facts? it's only the left that make up that blacks are being slaughtered en masse in the streets of the West, it's the right pointing out the utter bs of that with facts. And the fact that you're unaware of this, shows you're left-wing. This finally woke you up huh? Funny that. We've been saying exactly this for years, we haven't changed our stance, because we trust objectivity, ergo, we're never wrong, it's impossible for us to be. The left though.... So, nice try.
A couple years ago I was having this conversation with a friend, but using a different year's statistics. In that year the number was something like 14 Unarmed Blacks killed. The rabbit hole goes even deeper when you realize two of those deaths were accidental (got caught in crossfire with a real criminal), and three of those "unarmed Black men" were literally on top of an officer beating them. So, no, those 9 INNOCENT unarmed Black deaths aren't to be overlooked, but to call non-perfection a genocide is intellectually dishonest.

My nephew is a police officer. He was ambushed by a black man who shot him and a college student who was doing a ride along. Fellow officers confronted and shot the man. The community protested the murder of the black man by police.
That's fine. Some people even knowing and understanding all the facts will say the shooting is unacceptable by their standard. Let them protest. That's called free speech. The second the protest turns to a riot release the Kraken. That's called justice.
People get caught up in their emotions and sometimes don't know the real facts. This is an outstanding class and this video is one that every American should watch and learn from.
These stats were reviewed and turned into a research paper (still available online for free) by a Harvard University research, Roland G Fryer. Fryer is himself a black man and went into the research hoping to substantiate his presumptions with data. Instead, being a good and honest researcher, he let facts lead him to conclusions rather than the other way around. For doing so, he was hounded by his fellow profs and he longer works at Harvard. That's the type of animus that has seeped into American academia. In light of that, I sure am glad that this prof at Penn State, doing a large seminar-type class no less, has also approached this topic head-on. Granted, this clip is from 2017-- I wonder whether he persists with this subject to this day, or has he been shutdown by Penn State or by his own students in the name of "safe space"?
Concerning Fryer, this comes from Wiki, pertaining to his suspension. Of course Wiki isn’t the most reliable source, but this smells like a common Leftist hitjob, and the result of not pushing the Progressive ideology. They know that accusations of sexual impropriety area death knell in modern academia. These people are garbage. “In March 2018, Harvard barred Fryer from his research lab, the Education Innovation Laboratory (EdLabs), upon launching an investigation into Title IX complaints against him alleging sexual harassment.[28] Fryer alleged that he was "unfairly scrutinized ... for his skin color."[29] Harvard confirmed that its Office for Dispute Resolution received complaints against Fryer in January, March, and April 2018.[30] In December 2018, Fryer resigned from the executive committee of the American Economic Association, to which he had been elected (but on which he had not yet taken up his seat); Fryer submitted his resignation after coming under pressure from fellow economists to step down due to the sexual harassment allegations against him.[31] In a letter to The New York Times later that month, Fryer expressed regret for having "allowed, encouraged and participated" in a collegial atmosphere at EdLabs that included "off-color jokes" and comments about personal lives, but denied bullying, retaliating against employees, or making sexual advances to any employee.[32]”
*CORRECTION* Roland Fryer WAS a black man until he published that paper, but his black card was revoked soon after by consensus of black academics and public intellectuals. None of them refuted the claims with evidence, just de-blacked him.
I took a class called “Critical Thinking” and wrote an essay and did a presentation on this exact topic. It actually wasn’t my choice, the professor gave us assigned topics and this is what I got. But it was an eye opening assignment for sure. I learned a lot in that course.
I didn't need a professor. I just looked up the numbers myself because if the media/social media/dumb football players/etc/ are saying something, and you accept it, YOU are the idiot.
100% correct. Plus the chance of an innocent person being shot by police for doing nothing and the police officer not being prosecuted for murder is virtually nonexistent. Another systemic racism hoax. Unarmed also includes criminals fighting with a police officer for his gun. It also includes bystanders shot by stray bullets. This professor doesn't go far enough. He also fails to point out that there are 50 million police encounters annually and 10 million arrests. He also fails to point out that the stats make perfect sense when you consider the number of police encounters based on crime committed by each demographic.
Saddest to me is how nearly incoherent these college students are answering simple questions, forming sentences, understanding data. We're doing great!
Because these students have never been in the real world. They leave highschool, go straight into college and live off the parents checks while they don’t need to ever get a job. They will never understand what’s going on 🤣 or care, look in the audience at all of them on their phones
Considering these kids are probably 18 or 19 and speaking in front of a couple hundred of their peers about a difficult and charged subject, I think they did an admirable job.
No we don't. He is skewing the numbers. The rate of fatal police shootings of unarmed Black people in the US is more than 3 times as high as it is among White people, finds research published online in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health.
A credit to the students here because they were not shouting him down. They were listening even though you could tell some of them still didn't believe the numbers.
A professor like that would only keep his job in a school that isn’t woke biased. Long live unbiased critical thinking and the search for truth whether it is favorable to us or not.
As a black american giving the broadest term (1/250 000 chance to die every year from police shooting so not taking account his life choice) you would have 0.04% chance to die from a police shooting if you live a 100 year like that just mind blowing
Kaepernick's original "protest" (sitting on the bench during the national anthem) was desgined to ge the San Francisco 49ers to cut him after he was informed he wasn't going to be the starter in 2016. Six months before, he publicly demanded a trade after Chip Kelley was announced as a new coach.
He was probably told to kneel by his bosses. As we saw with the Houston Astros, professional sports are rigged. To this day the MLB commission hasn't revoked Houston's championship win.
But Colin didn't start blm. Like this teach states. Doesn't mention 135 unarmed black men were killed by cops (2015). He goes to 2016 stats. Do you see. He fools them by acting like gay no big deal, to fool them about his agenda. He is Republican!
Was in a class similar to this, and even with the statistics staring them in their face, some simply refused to reexamine their beliefs in preference to the sampling of cases media propogates.
And the police puts themselves and the public in danger by not shooting more violent blacks. I have seen videos of that going terribly wrong. What the prof also didn’t say (or maybe it was edited out) is that it is perfectly possible to be very dangerous without being armed!
He should have spent two minutes talking about B-on-W violent crime being higher than W-on-B violent crime. We would expect the opposite in a white supremacist nation. @@peterfireflylund
I don't agree with everything Dr. Richards says, but I'm so thankful that he has the courage to do what he's doing. I can guarantee that he has received no end of pushback and personal attacks as a result of telling the truth vis-a-vis race. We need more people like him, especially in regards to interacting with and educating the youth.

The black girl is a great example of how effective indoctrination is, and how even with an injection of logic, they won't change the conclusions they've already come to. The victim mentality is a huge part of their identity. I don't think they'll have the ability to lose it in the future. No matter how equitable things become, i think the black community will always claim victimhood. BTW He didn't mention crime or murder rates, which is highly relevant to this conversation.
Exactly - violent crime rates are crucial to his analysis... maybe it was too sensitive to go into (or maybe he doesn't quite get the proper benchmarks himself)
She's also the result of coed academia, feminism and spineless men. 99% of the men in that room would've been called a conspiracy theorist for giving out the same information. Young men learn early that Liberal ideology makes it easier to attract women, at college that is. Our overlords know it.
11:32 Unarmed doesn't mean not dangerous. I'd be curious to know how many were going for the officers weapon, pretending to be armed, punching/kicking/wrestling the officer, ect...
Your right, it’s a high #. Police simply don’t go around shooting innocent civilians, unless they’re possibly caught in crossfire. If they do target someone for any reason, they should spend the rest of their life in jail! The fact is that there are far more Black on Black killings in American Cities, including babies and children, because of the Culture they are raised in. This is what needs to be addressed 1st, as this is where the true genocide is taking place.
YES, exactly what I was thinking. Tucker Carlson, yes, bad old right wing racist Tucker did a bit on this. I don't remember which year he referred to, but he and his team looked into each case of ( I think then it was 12) an unarmed black person killed. IIRC there were only 2 or 3 cases in which the killing was not provoked, justified or right and in all those cases, the police officer was sentenced to prison for murder.
And the girl calls the number 250,000 two fifty thousand instead of two hundred fifty thousand . Schools were dumbed down and discipline removed for a reason. It worked.
I encourage anybody that holds anti police sentiment to watch some of the 100s of police shooting body camera videos on UA-cam. 99% of the time I would have shot if I had been in the officer’s shoes.
@@dashphonemail depends on how willing you are able to let narratives dictated by the media persuade or dissuade you. The argument you are putting forth holds no weight whatsoever.
This should be played in every high school and college as mandatory learning. 90% of the students will ignore it as systemic racial propaganda but I think it may strike a nerve with a few of them. Those with a truly open mind might take away the truth from this and begin to influence those around them. A great lecture
I disagree. All political science professors teach these exact same principals. That's why it is called political science. They all use data. Even the professor in my first year poli sci class at a 2 year community college.
When your whole life and personal flaws are built on a lie its almost impossible to let go. They arent just admitting to being misled/wrong. They are throwing out every possible excuse they had for their own failures.
It's ego. When you let go of the value of being right or wrong all the time, you cling to other random shit as the stuff you identify as or by to which there is no end.
He actually needed to explain to a group of students we're 'THINKING' now. There are just no words for how low voltage these kids actually seem to be. They don't seem to understand percentages or statistics at all!
It actually needs a little more data. Chances of black person being struck by lightning, 0.8/1M. Odds of black person being killed by another black person 156/1M. So even higher chance of being hit by lightning than being an unarmed black person being killed by police. And a MUCH, MUCH higher chance of being a black person killed by another black person. That helps when they say that 22 unarmed black people killed by police is too many.
I would agree, but there isn't a blatt in that class taking him seriously. Race is a hustle in America, and the extent of blatt intellect is "yo skiieen watt, mah skieen BLATT." Name 3 blatt "scholars" who don't discuss the "blatt struggle".
@@freddieoblivion6122 but if every college student sees it, some of them will see the light and become more educated. But like you said, many will still want to live in their own little victimhood world.
This is so incredibly valuable, and handled with such tact and grace. It’s so hard to counter the prevailing narrative, especially when it is one based on empathy. However, the only way to correctly address a problem is to actually understand what the problem is (or determine if there even is a problem), and you are never going to get a broad understanding from just consuming media. I think that’s the lesson here.
It is interesting to see people almost shut down and block out statistics that contradict their fundamental beliefs. I used to do the same with religion.
@saltymember1062 Sadly, the narrative they believe(d), before being confronted here, is still the dominant one in terms what is sold as truth to the public. In media, print and from one of the 2 major political parties.
They didn't block out statistics. They didn't know them. When they learned, they admitted surprise, and shared their updated opinion. Even teacher said he agreed the accurate numbers were still high. He's saying people need to protest with facts.
Nah he left out the prevalence of crime in the groups because then the whole thing turns against blacks as they commit crime at a relatively higher rate than they are relstively represented in the police brutality statistic.
Yeah but he doesn’t even break it down in detail of how many white people where armed/unarmed and shot not does he describe what being armed means? Like for instance, do they kill a black unarmed man quicker than a white unarmed man who isn’t shorting at them or approaching them or whatever he’s just armed? He could be running away? How many black people where shot in the back? How many deescalations were even attempted in the same type of violent encounters with blacks Vs white suspects. He’s so manipulative with these numbers. I wish I was in his class because that bs wouldn’t work one sec on me. He’d have to do a lot more than show me some numbers without the right unbiased details behind them.
@@djpierrephuture He was providing data so that people could determine if "am i next" is a rational viewpoint. 22 unarmed black deaths out of 39 million. I wonder how many of the unarmed people were fighting with the cops when the cops tried to arrest them and the suspect tried to take the cops gun. If you take about 5 minutes to search there are lots of videos of exactly that happening. Cops try to arrest someone and he decides to fight the cops instead and then goes for the gun. have a calculator handy to do simple division? Go ahead... 22 divided by 39,000,000 Then tell me if you think that is a genocide. Don't commit crimes with a weapon. When cops try to arrest you, let them... don't fight them and don't try to take their gun. There, I just gave you advice that will provide approximately 100% chance that you won't be killed by a cop. You won't be next.
It's both a blessing and a shame this was recorded 6 years ago. Because back then you could have at least a rational even handed conversation. If this was recorded and released today, this brilliant professor would be cancelled before the day is over.
Biggest takeaway: Even when confronted with indisputable facts, it's disheartening to observe the enduring dominance of ideology. This issue is especially conspicuous in the realm of higher education, where media-driven emotional manipulation has become pervasive. What's concerning is that many individuals within these academic institutions seem to have surrendered their ability to think independently, instead conforming to the prevailing narrative. It often appears that people are more influenced by their preconceived beliefs than by the concrete evidence presented to them. Even in that lecture theatre there is an air of unease to talk about these issues.
I think its easier for them to believe the lie rather than the truth which is downright scary. The media is the true enemy of this country. What news outlet has ever shown these statistics? None and thats even scarier.
I'm 83 years old and never gone to college, but I really like this Professor. He seems to try to tell the truth and gets the kids to think.I'm a conservative ,but I really think he's excellent.
Right, it gets them to commit to an opinion without easily being able to retcon it into something more consistent with whatever facts are about to be presented.
He avoided to asked the right questions that can expose the opposite reality about his teaching. Of courses he handpicked the statistics, choices he wanted to show. He is a sleezy teacher. The real issues were not about the number only but the way the situations were handled. Some lives definitely would have been spared (based on the way officers handled those cases) if the race were different. Yes there were too many and too much unfair killing of blacks! Simply hearing what the cops say on recorded videos can tell you.
You can see how both those girls were clearly uncomfortable with the truth and how reality clearly doesn't affirm their feelings. Good on the professor for exposing them to the truth in a calm, clear and unemotional way. THIS is what education looks like.
The black girl still seemed resistant to the facts even at the end. The white girl seemed to be on the cusp of one of those "eureka!" moments, realizing she had allowed media distortion and social media to do her thinking for her. They certainly are in the right class to get their preconceived notions checked by reality.
These two poor students had clearly been influenced by media, where facts seem no longer to matter, just feelings or perceptions. Even when faced with e reality of statistical analysis, you could still see the two young women trying to cling on to the false narrative they have been fed, especially the black girl. Clearly, any death in tragic circumstances is a death too many, but holding onto false narratives about the world, society and policing, is dangerous. So, welldone to the prof. He was calm and balanced, and I am sure that many of the students will begin to start thinking and questioning … the very aims of a true college education, instead of being brainwashed by radical ideas which have little to no basis in reality.
@@timothyhallett3724 Every time I hear younger millennials and GenZ talking about how they "know" certain information and they always reference Twitter, snapchat or other social media. I realize that all they have access to is some form or other of a propaganda feed. While most of us in GenX, or even boomers recognize that the "news" media is totally corrupted, and even Google and Wikipedia are very biased, the younger adults don't even know how to get any information other than social media. They have never learned how to not be ignorant.

You guys are sadly spot-on. The white girl is so afraid that she could be labeled racist just for answering a question, she's so fearful of being canceled, that even in a learning environment, she can't just say "here's what I thought, but I guess I was wrong." The white girl is tiptoeing on eggshells and it's extra sad because she should be safe to have her mind expanded.

“We don’t know, so we have to keep going further”. The most valuable take-away from the whole thing, to gain deeper understanding of the whole picture to develop critical thinking on a topic. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is a great representation of what our college-aged adults need...hard facts delivered in a no-nonsense fashion. My only hope is that those students were there to learn, and did not leave that lecture with the thought that the professor was leading them astray.
This is one of the saddest and most damning exchanges of our modern world. When I went to college in the 80s for a liberal arts degree and then again in the 2000s for a technical degree, on the whole my fellow students had noticeably more lively intellects, a decent grasp of logic, and far more coherent speech. I know we're only hearing from two students out of that intro -sized class, but unless that instructor deliberately chose the two most stupid ones in the class we are seriously screwed.
The teacher can't pick 2 of the dvmb (sic) students because it would be obvious that they were hand chosen to help him drive his point and argument. That would make the teacher look disingenuous and the students will totally side against him for being sneaky like that. But 2 students like that, just means the pool of dvmb (sic) students are either larger than expected or just random luck the teacher got 2 of the dvmb ones.
@@mc.9839Nah it was stupidity. Stupidity got them where they are, stupidity is keeping them there. That girl looked so angry at being told she's not a victim - that's not fear.
Your lucky you missed the technology boom of mass information overload and brainwashing. These kids were raised on it from small children. Smart phones weren’t even a thing in 2000. The internet even at home was basic. I think ppl should take that into consideration and recognize you grew up in an easier time.
It is amazing, or maybe not, that when confronted with actual data, they choose to ignore it. If my children came away from a college education this intentionally ignorant and/or terrified of going against the social narrative I would have to stop paying for that education. If I was the teacher, I think I would just quit.
Tbf they admitted they were surprised and you don't tend to change your perception of what you believe overnight. They also admitted that social media and media may be a problem. Its a start

@@1982nsu
Saw the statistics once (unfortunately I didn't keep a link), but the ratio was horrible. As you say, the most likely case for a black person to get killed is by getting shot by another black person.
If we start counting at January 1st, then the number of killed people PER YEAR by the police, would most likely be reached in January alone.
Also: there are roughly 61 MILLION police interactions each year, of which less then 100 ends with the police shooting a black person. And yet some activists act as if a black person just needs to put out 1 toe out of the door and gets shot immediately by an officer.
I am not saying, that nobody gets shot by the police and each one is one too many. But keep it in perspective! The numbers are much lower then you think they are. If BLM wants to do something substantial for the black community, then for heavens sake start with addressing black on black crime!
@@1982nsu I’ve seen the stats. Compared to black on black homicides, police related are minuscule. Unjustified killings by police are almost non existent percentage wise but that doesn’t interest the main stream media. It doesn’t sell.

The indoctrination of these kids is fascinating. When presented with facts and logic they automatically revert to the rhetoric they have had force fed. Interesting to watch them struggle with their ideas being challenged

It could be core values or indoctrination, but remember how susceptible young people are to being indoctrinated because they have less experience and knowledge against which to test the claims they’re being told.

Free stuff? what’s free?
It’s not a manufactured truth police victim blacks but notice he only talks about killing not about everything else that happens when dealing with corrupt policing
They got a real valuable lesson that day, it just shows how the media Cherry pick and push what stories they want to display to the world.
You'd think by how many white people get killed you'see it at least as often in the news, not less. Makes you wonder who benefits by stirring racial resentment
This has been happening since it has hit the radio airwaves and followed over to the visual.
all anyone had to do is look at the FBI annual reports....to see statics about of the supposed nonsense. Suppose racism & police don't & cant' explain how 90% of black homicides no matter method of death is black on black crime. Non white or hispanic/latino not Asian or Arab on black but black on black crime yet no sign of Lebron or BLM or Al sharpton or Jesse Jackson or obama or biden or harris....

The news networks need to be held accountable for false journalism, then reported live. The media is a powerful tool and must be used respectfully.
Crazy that this came out 5 years ago and UA-cam just now threw it into my feed. Obviously it hasn’t hit many other people’s feed either…. Solid explanation of the facts. I agree that even 1 unarmed death of anyone is concerning but I work in the medical field. We consent patients for elective medical procedures were the risk of death is higher than .6%.
Yup, same here
n 2020 I read the WP data and it had a breakout of the unarmed deaths. Of the 22 unarmed black deaths, more that half resulted while attacking a police officer.(Including Michael Brown, Ferguson, Mo) This brings the unjustified unarmed black killings down to less than 10 out of a population of 39,000,000.
But even those cases of unarmed people what were the circumstances. Did the cop panic and think someone was reaching for a gun, did they have someone in a headlock, were they actively commiting a crime, or were they compliant or just walking down the street, was these in an area where there are high violent crime rates or not not that it means its okay or not but cops have a bloody hard job every routine traffic stop can turn into a violent confrontation. The lack of empathy for that is telling. Again im not saying its okay or shouldn't be rightly investigated but circumstances matter.
@@daisyfish-fn4js Your asking about the circumstances was beyond the scope of the presentation which is the cops are not out to kill blacks and the numbers prove this. The circumstances can be looked at but now you have a framework.
You have a weapon (which 211 of 233 blacks did) when so confronting a cop - you get shot, black, white who ever. Rai ipso luquiter - "The thing speaks for itself".
Of the remaining 22 black, the WP breakout (I read in 2020) was not complete as to the less than 10 and I don't remember the specific number of incidents cited. Of the less than 10, 4 (+/-) resulted in officer going to jail.
There are and will always be a few bad cops just as there will always be bad (and idiot) citizens. You are writing about utopia.

I work at a local college in the US and can say from this one video, this professor is one of the real gems of education. Fact driven, engaging, incentivizing class participation (you can really hear the room rumble when he told ppl to tell their numbers to the person next to them!).

Did you notice just as he said that, the camera pans to a kid who looks like they are passed out?
They still seemed to be afraid to give an answer. As if they were concerned about what their piers thought.They were afraid to stand alone.
I was a cop in LA for 29 years. My first year on the street the department was up for a pay raise. Anti police stories flooded news stories. I put that information in the back of my head. There was little citizen support for a pay raise. We got a 3% raise in four years. Three and half years passed and it was time to begin pay raise negotiations. The news began putting out negative stories again. The dragged in old and new race issues involving the department. Once again a very small pay raise. I brought this to the attention of my peers during roll call, many were older and had more time on the job. I told them to just keep this information in the back of their head till the next time a pay raise comes up. They were blown away.
People don't realize how the news media and politicians work together to screw people and sway public opinion.
Wow… I never thought of it like that, makes so much sense!

So, you mean a right view, because you want facts? it's only the left that make up that blacks are being slaughtered en masse in the streets of the West, it's the right pointing out the utter bs of that with facts.
And the fact that you're unaware of this, shows you're left-wing.
This finally woke you up huh?
Funny that. We've been saying exactly this for years, we haven't changed our stance, because we trust objectivity, ergo, we're never wrong, it's impossible for us to be.
The left though....
So, nice try.
Facts are inherently right-wing now
Yes, but the left does not allow facts in conversations.
Leftist politics dictate that reality can be bent through sophistry and imagery (propaganda).
A couple years ago I was having this conversation with a friend, but using a different year's statistics. In that year the number was something like 14 Unarmed Blacks killed. The rabbit hole goes even deeper when you realize two of those deaths were accidental (got caught in crossfire with a real criminal), and three of those "unarmed Black men" were literally on top of an officer beating them. So, no, those 9 INNOCENT unarmed Black deaths aren't to be overlooked, but to call non-perfection a genocide is intellectually dishonest.
Great to see someone teaching the truth. 🎉 His lectures should be a LIVE feed to all schools and colleges in USA.

My nephew is a police officer. He was ambushed by a black man who shot him and a college student who was doing a ride along. Fellow officers confronted and shot the man. The community protested the murder of the black man by police.

LoL, nor should it. One is cold, hard and unwavering, the other is raw emotion driven by an agenda pushed by the media.
Exactly
These facts will not get me laid.
People get caught up in their emotions and sometimes don't know the real facts. This is an outstanding class and this video is one that every American should watch and learn from.
These stats were reviewed and turned into a research paper (still available online for free) by a Harvard University research, Roland G Fryer. Fryer is himself a black man and went into the research hoping to substantiate his presumptions with data. Instead, being a good and honest researcher, he let facts lead him to conclusions rather than the other way around. For doing so, he was hounded by his fellow profs and he longer works at Harvard. That's the type of animus that has seeped into American academia. In light of that, I sure am glad that this prof at Penn State, doing a large seminar-type class no less, has also approached this topic head-on. Granted, this clip is from 2017-- I wonder whether he persists with this subject to this day, or has he been shutdown by Penn State or by his own students in the name of "safe space"?
Thanks for posting about Roland Fryer. I remember a black Harvard guy did such research but I did not remember his name. Now I can look up his work.
Concerning Fryer, this comes from Wiki, pertaining to his suspension. Of course Wiki isn’t the most reliable source, but this smells like a common Leftist hitjob, and the result of not pushing the Progressive ideology. They know that accusations of sexual impropriety area death knell in modern academia. These people are garbage.
“In March 2018, Harvard barred Fryer from his research lab, the Education Innovation Laboratory (EdLabs), upon launching an investigation into Title IX complaints against him alleging sexual harassment.[28] Fryer alleged that he was "unfairly scrutinized ... for his skin color."[29] Harvard confirmed that its Office for Dispute Resolution received complaints against Fryer in January, March, and April 2018.[30]
In December 2018, Fryer resigned from the executive committee of the American Economic Association, to which he had been elected (but on which he had not yet taken up his seat); Fryer submitted his resignation after coming under pressure from fellow economists to step down due to the sexual harassment allegations against him.[31] In a letter to The New York Times later that month, Fryer expressed regret for having "allowed, encouraged and participated" in a collegial atmosphere at EdLabs that included "off-color jokes" and comments about personal lives, but denied bullying, retaliating against employees, or making sexual advances to any employee.[32]”
I find it hard to believe this class could still be taught openly and honestly after 2020.
*CORRECTION* Roland Fryer WAS a black man until he published that paper, but his black card was revoked soon after by consensus of black academics and public intellectuals. None of them refuted the claims with evidence, just de-blacked him.
I am willing to bet $100 that his class at Penn State was forced to shut down and he was fired.
I took a class called “Critical Thinking” and wrote an essay and did a presentation on this exact topic. It actually wasn’t my choice, the professor gave us assigned topics and this is what I got. But it was an eye opening assignment for sure. I learned a lot in that course.
I didn't need a professor. I just looked up the numbers myself because if the media/social media/dumb football players/etc/ are saying something, and you accept it, YOU are the idiot.

Virtually inequivickly
100% correct. Plus the chance of an innocent person being shot by police for doing nothing and the police officer not being prosecuted for murder is virtually nonexistent. Another systemic racism hoax. Unarmed also includes criminals fighting with a police officer for his gun. It also includes bystanders shot by stray bullets. This professor doesn't go far enough. He also fails to point out that there are 50 million police encounters annually and 10 million arrests. He also fails to point out that the stats make perfect sense when you consider the number of police encounters based on crime committed by each demographic.

It's hard to deprogram people from cults. But, it was good to see some of the students really giving this some thought. This man planted a seed.
As a black american giving the broadest term (1/250 000 chance to die every year from police shooting so not taking account his life choice) you would have 0.04% chance to die from a police shooting if you live a 100 year like that just mind blowing

I don't remember which year he referred to, but he and his team looked into each case of ( I think then it was 12) an unarmed black person killed. IIRC there were only 2 or 3 cases in which the killing was not provoked, justified or right and in all those cases, the police officer was sentenced to prison for murder.

it is nice to see a factual professor in political science not moved by emotions or hate. Surprisingly hard to find these days.
GOOGLE HIM!
I disagree. All political science professors teach these exact same principals. That's why it is called political science. They all use data. Even the professor in my first year poli sci class at a 2 year community college.
When your whole life and personal flaws are built on a lie its almost impossible to let go. They arent just admitting to being misled/wrong. They are throwing out every possible excuse they had for their own failures.

It's ego. When you let go of the value of being right or wrong all the time, you cling to other random shit as the stuff you identify as or by to which there is no end.
Feelings has NOTHING to do with it.
"This is a thinking class, I'm walking you though some thinking" this man is lyricsl genius
He actually needed to explain to a group of students we're 'THINKING' now. There are just no words for how low voltage these kids actually seem to be. They don't seem to understand percentages or statistics at all!
Every college student should have to watch this video, but we know that won't happen in the mostly-liberal colleges that we have nowadays.
It actually needs a little more data. Chances of black person being struck by lightning, 0.8/1M. Odds of black person being killed by another black person 156/1M. So even higher chance of being hit by lightning than being an unarmed black person being killed by police. And a MUCH, MUCH higher chance of being a black person killed by another black person. That helps when they say that 22 unarmed black people killed by police is too many.
I would agree, but there isn't a blatt in that class taking him seriously. Race is a hustle in America, and the extent of blatt intellect is "yo skiieen watt, mah skieen BLATT." Name 3 blatt "scholars" who don't discuss the "blatt struggle".
@@freddieoblivion6122 but if every college student sees it, some of them will see the light and become more educated. But like you said, many will still want to live in their own little victimhood world.
This is Conservative, anti black propaganda
That's the parents job, not the school.
At 8:20 he says "this is a thinking class". Yeah, at 5th grade level
This is so incredibly valuable, and handled with such tact and grace. It’s so hard to counter the prevailing narrative, especially when it is one based on empathy. However, the only way to correctly address a problem is to actually understand what the problem is (or determine if there even is a problem), and you are never going to get a broad understanding from just consuming media. I think that’s the lesson here.
It is interesting to see people almost shut down and block out statistics that contradict their fundamental beliefs. I used to do the same with religion.
Welcome to left wing politics.
I’ve always been a stat guy - find the truth and work from there. This is probably why I never fell for religion or the woke ideology
@saltymember1062 Sadly, the narrative they believe(d), before being confronted here, is still the dominant one in terms what is sold as truth to the public.
In media, print and from one of the 2 major political parties.
Racism cult is a religion. Read John McWhorters brilliant Woke Racism.
They didn't block out statistics. They didn't know them. When they learned, they admitted surprise, and shared their updated opinion. Even teacher said he agreed the accurate numbers were still high. He's saying people need to protest with facts.
One other thing to keep in mind is that "unarmed" does not equate to "harmless."
Yeah and armed doesn’t mean doing anything wrong in the US either.
I’m enjoying this. He brings in the data and breaks it down into the nuance of the detail. I’m glad he’s a professor doing this.
Nah he left out the prevalence of crime in the groups because then the whole thing turns against blacks as they commit crime at a relatively higher rate than they are relstively represented in the police brutality statistic.
Me too. Bro.
Yeah but he doesn’t even break it down in detail of how many white people where armed/unarmed and shot not does he describe what being armed means? Like for instance, do they kill a black unarmed man quicker than a white unarmed man who isn’t shorting at them or approaching them or whatever he’s just armed?
He could be running away? How many black people where shot in the back? How many deescalations were even attempted in the same type of violent encounters with blacks Vs white suspects. He’s so manipulative with these numbers.
I wish I was in his class because that bs wouldn’t work one sec on me. He’d have to do a lot more than show me some numbers without the right unbiased details behind them.
@@djpierrephuture
He was providing data so that people could determine if "am i next" is a rational viewpoint.
22 unarmed black deaths out of 39 million.
I wonder how many of the unarmed people were fighting with the cops when the cops tried to arrest them and the suspect tried to take the cops gun.
If you take about 5 minutes to search there are lots of videos of exactly that happening. Cops try to arrest someone and he decides to fight the cops instead and then goes for the gun.
have a calculator handy to do simple division? Go ahead... 22 divided by 39,000,000
Then tell me if you think that is a genocide.
Don't commit crimes with a weapon.
When cops try to arrest you, let them... don't fight them and don't try to take their gun.
There, I just gave you advice that will provide approximately 100% chance that you won't be killed by a cop. You won't be next.
@djpierre your confirmation bias is showing
It's both a blessing and a shame this was recorded 6 years ago. Because back then you could have at least a rational even handed conversation. If this was recorded and released today, this brilliant professor would be cancelled before the day is over.
nobody wants to talk anymore, nobody is willing to change their opinion anymore, it’s all just “i’m right, you’re wrong” now
Cancelled and would probably have to go into hiding. Hell, he probably still ended up having to go into hiding over these lectures.
He literally is still a professor at the same university doing the same classes.
@@beytran70 that’s nice
??? He’s still a professor though? 😂
Biggest takeaway:
Even when confronted with indisputable facts, it's disheartening to observe the enduring dominance of ideology. This issue is especially conspicuous in the realm of higher education, where media-driven emotional manipulation has become pervasive. What's concerning is that many individuals within these academic institutions seem to have surrendered their ability to think independently, instead conforming to the prevailing narrative. It often appears that people are more influenced by their preconceived beliefs than by the concrete evidence presented to them. Even in that lecture theatre there is an air of unease to talk about these issues.
Well said. That's what really disturbed me. Not that the students believed what social media told them, but when proven wrong, they still believed it.
No one, not even you, can change on a dime.
People have been like that through all of human history
I think its easier for them to believe the lie rather than the truth which is downright scary. The media is the true enemy of this country. What news outlet has ever shown these statistics? None and thats even scarier.
The black girl looks more and more depressed as the video progresses until she finally just looks pissed off at the end.
I'm 83 years old and never gone to college, but I really like this Professor. He seems to try to tell the truth and gets the kids to think.I'm a conservative ,but I really think he's excellent.
Just as a lecturing technique, I love his "tell the person next to you" line
Masterclass!!!
Right, it gets them to commit to an opinion without easily being able to retcon it into something more consistent with whatever facts are about to be presented.
Exactly
He avoided to asked the right questions that can expose the opposite reality about his teaching. Of courses he handpicked the statistics, choices he wanted to show. He is a sleezy teacher. The real issues were not about the number only but the way the situations were handled. Some lives definitely would have been spared (based on the way officers handled those cases) if the race were different. Yes there were too many and too much unfair killing of blacks! Simply hearing what the cops say on recorded videos can tell you.
@@gentlein2111 are you jewish?
You can see how both those girls were clearly uncomfortable with the truth and how reality clearly doesn't affirm their feelings. Good on the professor for exposing them to the truth in a calm, clear and unemotional way. THIS is what education looks like.
The black girl still seemed resistant to the facts even at the end. The white girl seemed to be on the cusp of one of those "eureka!" moments, realizing she had allowed media distortion and social media to do her thinking for her. They certainly are in the right class to get their preconceived notions checked by reality.
Preachhh
These two poor students had clearly been influenced by media, where facts seem no longer to matter, just feelings or perceptions. Even when faced with e reality of statistical analysis, you could still see the two young women trying to cling on to the false narrative they have been fed, especially the black girl. Clearly, any death in tragic circumstances is a death too many, but holding onto false narratives about the world, society and policing, is dangerous. So, welldone to the prof. He was calm and balanced, and I am sure that many of the students will begin to start thinking and questioning … the very aims of a true college education, instead of being brainwashed by radical ideas which have little to no basis in reality.
@@timothyhallett3724 Every time I hear younger millennials and GenZ talking about how they "know" certain information and they always reference Twitter, snapchat or other social media. I realize that all they have access to is some form or other of a propaganda feed.

They have never learned how to not be ignorant.

I'm surprised how reluctant these students are when answering a simple question hoesntly within a learning environment. Great professor by the way, he is really teaching and encouraging thinking.
Its worse to be labelled a racist to these kids than actually answering logically...

You guys are sadly spot-on. The white girl is so afraid that she could be labeled racist just for answering a question, she's so fearful of being canceled, that even in a learning environment, she can't just say "here's what I thought, but I guess I was wrong." The white girl is tiptoeing on eggshells and it's extra sad because she should be safe to have her mind expanded.
i miss so much to have great teachers like this one, full engagment, teaching how to use data, how to think, how to interpret things and engage in real conversations...great teacher
I would give this lecture a grade of "incomplete." There was no mention of the major cause of death among blacks, namely "black on black" homicides. The vast majority of black crime victims are victimized by black criminals. I would love to see a side by side comparison of black on black stats vs cops and blacks stats.

“We don’t know, so we have to keep going further”. The most valuable take-away from the whole thing, to gain deeper understanding of the whole picture to develop critical thinking on a topic. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This is a great representation of what our college-aged adults need...hard facts delivered in a no-nonsense fashion. My only hope is that those students were there to learn, and did not leave that lecture with the thought that the professor was leading them astray.
This class needs to be standard recommended curriculum for all incoming students to all US colleges and universities
Wish more teachers taught this way.with passion, knowledge and facts.
The left do not deal in facts ,they pedal a false morality
Heaven forbid!!!
Sadly he doesn't do this when it comes to the negative effects of illegal immigration or the positives and benefits of the 2nd Amendment.
This is one of the saddest and most damning exchanges of our modern world. When I went to college in the 80s for a liberal arts degree and then again in the 2000s for a technical degree, on the whole my fellow students had noticeably more lively intellects, a decent grasp of logic, and far more coherent speech. I know we're only hearing from two students out of that intro -sized class, but unless that instructor deliberately chose the two most stupid ones in the class we are seriously screwed.
The teacher can't pick 2 of the dvmb (sic) students because it would be obvious that they were hand chosen to help him drive his point and argument. That would make the teacher look disingenuous and the students will totally side against him for being sneaky like that. But 2 students like that, just means the pool of dvmb (sic) students are either larger than expected or just random luck the teacher got 2 of the dvmb ones.
It wasn't stupidity, it was fear. One was afraid to challenge the established narrative and the other was afraid to have that narrative challenged.
@@mc.9839Nah it was stupidity. Stupidity got them where they are, stupidity is keeping them there. That girl looked so angry at being told she's not a victim - that's not fear.
Your lucky you missed the technology boom of mass information overload and brainwashing.

@@teerollings6919 Fear and anger are almost always entwined. Yes, she's angry. Angry because she fears not being a victim.
It is amazing, or maybe not, that when confronted with actual data, they choose to ignore it. If my children came away from a college education this intentionally ignorant and/or terrified of going against the social narrative I would have to stop paying for that education. If I was the teacher, I think I would just quit.
Yep, I have to totally agree.
They didn’t seem to ignore it at all. They admitted they were very surprised.
Tbf they admitted they were surprised and you don't tend to change your perception of what you believe overnight. They also admitted that social media and media may be a problem. Its a start

This is so important. The fact that some things we are not allowed to have these conversations without people thinking your racist is so dangerous. It actually makes the problem worse because we can't get to the truth if we can't have honest conversations.
