Strange

As you are either not reading or not understanding anything that is said to you, I have nothing else to say. Your determination to remain ignorant so that you don't have to question your racist views is depressing. No, it is sickening. I have nothing more to say to you. (Nothing polite, anyway.)

Apart from the fact that this is not true, it is irrelevant. For one thing, the existence of the slave trade affected many other areas. For example, Bristol in the UK became a centre for the slave trade. That made many people in Bristol and elsewhere in the UK very rich. It also meant that that they saw black people as a product to be traded, not as human. Similarly, most people in the US did not have slaves but, because they lived in a slave-owning culture, they too saw black people as less than human. As things to be bought and sold. Things to do the unpleasant work that "real people" (white people) didn't want to do. And this is not some event that happened in the distant past, that has only theoretical relevance to the real world. People who grew up as slaves were still alive in my lifetime. The legacy of segregation, and considering black people as less than human has continued ever since. To feel you have to go through these mental contortions to pretend that slavery didn't happen or doesn't matter is kind of impressive but also very sad. I don't know what it will take to open your mind to the reality of the world we live in. Just ... NO. Sheesh. It proves no such thing. And this is just another blatant falsehood. Are you just stunningly ignorant or deliberately lying? OK. I guess we can go with "ignorant" then. Maybe you should educate yourself before further making more idiotic statements. Firstly, systemic racism is not "organised". (Did you watch that video earlier? I assume not.) Secondly: POWER & PRIVILEGE. Also, please provide a source for these figures.

I don't think so. It probably just means that the label is a bit too much "short hand" (as labels tend to be). So, if my guess about the responses by EU immigrants were correct, then it might be better to label it "White / native privilege". And then you begin to see why certain groups are called "white nationalists" because it is more than just race; they feel that "others" are polluting their "native purity". (Doubly ironic for the USA where the majority white population are not native to the land). But I think that trying to discuss all of the complexities around different types of prejudice, against different groups, in different societies, for different reasons, may take us too far off topic. I think the black experience in the USA is uniquely bad because of the history of slavery. (Plus the inherent inequalities between rich and poor of any colour, produced by the American system) Good point. Or who they feel threatened by.

I suspect that Polish (and other European) migrants in the UK would do pretty badly on this after the last few years.

You do have more power and privilege than black people (or other minorities). The fact you are not ware of it is part of the problem. Here, try this: How many fingers do you have left?

While this may have exacerbated things, and encouraged more young (often white) kids to join in for the "fun" and looting, the underlying problem is real and almost entirely a problem of race. We have seen the same scenes pay out before (in the USA and the UK) for very similar reasons. Unfortunately, in the USA, almost nothing has changed. After the Brixton riots, the local police did change their behaviour somewhat which improved the situation. But if you're a young, black male you are still going to be treated with suspicion. Yeah, that doesn't help.

I don't think this is making light. It is likely to be a major problem. And, of course, it is blacks and other minorities who are worse hit by Covid-19 (for a variety of reasons). Making light of it would be to suggest that Trump will be recommending tear gas as a cure.

Even if prejudice is equally common across all groups, that is not the point. It misses the point by several light years. White people are in positions of privilege, authority and power. They have the power to exploit and abuse black people (and other minorities) with impunity. Even without that, they have advantages because of their privilege: they don't have to put up with daily insults because of their race, they don't get treated with suspicion whenever they go shopping, they don't have to worry about being repeatedly stopped by the police for no reason, they don't have to teach their children how not to be killed by the police.

People very rarely (never?) say that to be inclusive. They do it to deny the message that black people’s life’s are just as important as theirs. They are saying “how dare you tell me that your life matters”. And that is a despicable statement.

! Moderator Note OK. Last chance. Unless you can write one simple sentence stating exactly what “Rube” is, I am shutting this down. We don’t appreciate this sort of incoherent steam of consciousness. There are plenty of places where you can post your blog. It appears you have come up with the concept of a discrete event simulation (one based on time steps). This is not “three generations ahead” of anything.

And your point is? Are you saying that "everyone" does not include black people!? Are you saying that therefore black lives don't matter?? Did you miss that large graphic summarising the research that a disproportionate number of black men are murdered by the police. Almost as if their lives don't matter? If you are really struggling with comprehending this then maybe stick "as well" or "just as much" on the end of black lives matter. Let's be absolutely blunt, if someone responds to Black Live Matter with "but all lives matter" (or with "but" followed by anything else) then their racism is part of the problem.

That is a ridiculous statement. https://www.pnas.org/content/116/34/16793

Ah, just like people with their personal theories: "I'm sure this will work, I just need someone else to do the hard work". How about a hat with a toilet roll holder on so that you have a continuous supply of tissue during hay-fever season. Miniature clip-on windscreen wipers for your glasses, for when it is raining. Electrically heated glass for your glasses, for those times when you come in from the cold and they instantly steam up. This is a joke thread, right?

That will only be true if you arrange for the resistance of ABC and the arc AC to be equal (e.g. make the wires AB and BC have ~1.4x greater cross-section)

There are no rules that say people have to announce that they have voted on a post, nor any rules about why they should vote a post up or down. It is nothing to do with "guts". However, voting down a post that quotes, with no comment, a blatantly false (or, at least, appallingly badly written) statement seems entirely reasonable to me.

Yes, I’m sorry about that. I’m sure there is someone who could help without copying arrant nonsense from some website. I have no real expertise, not having done any practical chemistry for more than 40 years ... but you can get glazed crucibles. I would have thought that would be adequate. As long as it is new and undamaged (If cracks are problem)

I can't believe what I am reading. But I suppose you get what you pay for.

OK. There are a lot that is not quite right in this, so I'll start with the more obvious ones and we can see where we go from there... Dark energy is not responsible for the expansion of space. We knew, from both theory and evidence, that the universe was expanding for nearly 100 years before dark energy was discovered. Dark energy is a (hypothetical) explanation for the observed accelerating rate of expansion. (It is the simplest way of mathematically explaining the acceleration. Whether it is correct or not is still to be seen.) That is determined by things like the average energy density of the universe. Dark energy has caused it to increase slightly in the last few billion years, but it would have a very similar value without dark energy. More accurately, the more dark energy the faster the Hubble constant changes. Dark energy is (I think - we are skirting the limits of my knowledge here!) a scalar field and the same everywhere. But I'm not sure we have enough data to be absolutely certain about that. The energy density of dark energy is very, very low. It is not going to have any significant effect on a black hole. (Calculating what the effect of a varying external energy field would be on the form of a black hole is probably a difficult problem that can only be solved by simulation.) Also, the expansion of space only takes place in the large areas of space between galaxies - because it only happens where there is a uniform mass distribution. There is no expansion of space inside galaxies (or even clusters of galaxies).

Retrocausality is a common interpretation of this. In the same way that faster-than-light communication is an interpretation of entanglement. But those are just (human-level) descriptions. Interpretations can give us some insights into what is going on. And different interpretations can be be better in some contexts than others. But they don't tell us what is "really" happening. (Nothing does, of course.)
