Rats prefer their own kind

A decade after scientists discovered that lab rats will rescue a fellow rat in distress, but not a rat they consider an outsider, new research from the University of California, Berkeley, pinpoints the brain regions that drive rats to prioritize their nearest and dearest in times of crisis. It also suggests humans may share the same neural bias.

Blacks killing Blacks

BLM, race, violent crime

“Over 90 percent of black homicide victims were killed by another black person, not by the white supremacists or cops the media warns us about.

In 2020, 290 black people were murdered and over 1,000 were shot, almost all by other black people. By comparison, only five of the 20 years of the Afghan war killed more Americans of all races. In further comparison, in 2020 five of the people killed by New York City police were black.

You have to wonder which pile of bodies is really the distraction and which is really the more serious problem. This is what a systemic problem actually looks like.”

If the BLM organization and leadership, and their corporate and democrat supporters really cared about black victims of violent crime then this would be their focus.

Are Minority Kids Really This Stupid?

From USAToday:

If all of Detroit’s fourth-graders took the well-respected National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) tests, just 120 African-American fourth-graders across the entire city, by researchers’ estimates, would score “proficient” or above in math.

“This is not a misprint,” the authors warn.

 

Other results:

  • In Atlanta, just 60 Hispanic fourth-graders and 40 Hispanic eighth-graders would score proficient or above in reading.
  • In Cleveland, only about 30 Hispanic eighth-graders and 80 African-American eighth-graders would be considered proficient in math.
  • In Baltimore, an estimated 60 Hispanic fourth-grade students would score proficient in reading.

The figures are estimates based on the demographic data, not actual determinations of individual student scores.

“The problem is stark and very disconcerting,” said Ulrich Boser, a CAP senior fellow and lead author of the report.

If this is correct, and I have no way of knowing whether or not it is, we are far worse off than I thought.

There was no mention of white kid’s performance on these tests.

Another goodie for the You Can’t Make This Stuff Up File:

Rachel Dolezal serves as chair of the independent commission, in addition to her work as an adjunct faculty member at Eastern Washington University and president of the NAACP local chapter. On her application to serve on the commission, she identified herself as African-American. But public records, including Dolezal’s own birth certificate, list her biological parents as Ruthanne and Lawrence Dolezal of Montana. The Dolezals told KXLY Thursday that Rachel is their biological daughter and that they are both white.

Of course the CP in NAACP stands for “colored people”. OK then.
