Speaking of off putting body shapes, what part of the body is this on? Hand?
Both white and black participants overestimated the size and strength of black men,
Doesn't this just entirely destroy the whole premise of the article? They argue that whites overestimate how big and strong black men were due to racism, but it turns out, so did the blacks. So there must be another explanation, other than racism.
Results have unnerving implications
It's not hard to see where these results could be applied -- the size and perceived strength of black victims of violence has figured into many prominent cases, including the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown
Even the example they gave was ridiculous. Mike Brown was the size of an NFL lineman and was a thuggish bully. He and his buddy were walking down the middle of the road, challenging anyone to stop them. The media tried to call him the Gentle Giant, until video showed him strong-arm robbing a convenience store.
Now we know you’re Slaribartfast.As a very big man, UUGE, I can assure you that people panic when faced with white old me and a cross face. I've spent my professional life being the calm guy, not because I am the calm guy but because if I get cross, people start looking for the exits. I've seen the animal fear many times.
Michael Brown died because he was a very big guy and being black made it worse, the incompetent cop panicked.
It is hard to believe reading AAA's last two posts that a human can have that much septic trash in his mind and not just die from it?
No (relative stranger) gives me cheek in person, everyone is careful what the say to me as I am physically very imposing. The last person who did was my US trumper ex-pat neighbor who resorted to waiting at the elevator for me to come into the car park (I walk up the stairs) and then bitching from a safe distance. If I lose my temper or even move fast men shit themselves. Most of the honest conversations I have are with women who don't perceive me as a physical threat.
This little experiment online where I can try saying closer to what I think has been somewhat therapeutic.. however I really would prefer not to need to vent
Trump too will pass...
