Why are black people so bad at mass shootings, /pol/? I mean; they have the highest murder rate in the United States, and African nations are among the most violent in the world. Shouldn't African Americans be REALLY good at massacring people in groups?
I'm reading about the Bunny Parks shooter and apparently he was involved in 2 mass shootings where no one was killed. I mean, one was a park with 300+ people and quite a few being children-- how do you manage to hit 17 but not kill a single person? This same was also involved in a previous shooting where he managed to hit 20 people, but kill no one. What the fuck is this lack of committal? When any other person(Asian, white, middle-eastern, ect) goes to commit a killing spree that will leave them dead or sentenced to life in prison, they tend to actually successfully murder quite a few people.
Is this just bad luck? Also, it seems that blacks and whites in the U.S commit mass shootings similar to their % of population. The only exception are Hispanics(practically none) and Asians(2.5x of pop represented). But it seems blacks have the lowest body count for a single mass shooting... why is this?
Also goddamn, gooks are scary. Never trust an Asian.

Isn't it obvious? They don't know how to hold a firearm properly.
didn't read, clicked to see pic
mass shootings correlate with mental illness and mental illness correlates with intelligence.
That's why asians have the highest rate of mass shootings with double the rate of their population while whites are proportionally represented by their population.
I searched for 'black and blue dress psychology'. The first two pages were about the pop-sci behind it, most of which IMO was damage control for people who saw or claimed to see white and gold. Then on page three I found something interesting.
>Controlling public opinion: what the debate over ‘The Dress’ reveals
http://theconversation.com/controlling-public-opinion-what-the-debate-over-the-dress-reveals-39294
Interesting was towards the end.
It was found that a small minority of people committed to saying white and gold could shift the opinion of the majority.

Article dump begins
>For a few days in late February, social media users were transfixed by a debate over the color of a dress posted on Tumblr: Was the dress blue and black, or white and gold? More than a million tweets, associated with the hashtags #thedress, #whiteandgold and #blackandblue, turned the debate into a social media phenomenon.
>Reports from the dress manufacturer now have revealed its true colors – a stylish blue and black combo – but this detail doesn’t stop us from marveling at how quickly public opinion was polarized between the two options (white and gold v black and blue).
>Moreover, if the dress is blue and black, why did so many people think it was white and gold? Many have offered biological and neurological reasons why that was the case. But our research indicates that the emergence and polarization of public opinion may be explained as an unintended consequence of people’s influence over one another.
Why do opinions spontaneously converge?
>For the last decade, computer scientists, sociologists and even physicists have been trying to understand how vast segments of the internet seem to spontaneously converge on opinions. From beliefs about the safety of vaccinations to disagreement over climate change, popular opinions continuously emerge and evolve in unpredictable ways.
>Most of what we know about this process comes from mathematical models and computer simulations. Such models, however, cannot account for the richness of human behavior, and thus fail to provide a satisfying explanation of how complex shifts in public opinion emerge.
>Fortunately, new internet technologies have made it possible to experimentally study how hundreds or even thousands of people interacting simultaneously can produce new collective beliefs.
>Recently, my collaborator, Andrea Baronchelli, and I conducted a Web-based experiment to see whether we could “grow” a large-scale shift in collective opinions.
2/?
Can shifts in opinion be manufactured?
>For our study, published last month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, we created an online naming game on our website, The Social Innovations Lab. Participants were placed into a large social network with other players, but were allowed to interact with only a small fraction of the other participants in their network.
>Each time they interacted, their goal was to coordinate with other players in an attempt to agree on a word or idea. For instance, participants in some of our studies were shown a face and asked to choose a name for it. At the same time, another player would also choose a name.
>Our aim was to see whether people would eventually start to choose names that would align with one another. The challenge was that each person was interacting with several other people, each of whom was also interacting with several others, and so on, making it very difficult for participants to figure out a common language.
>What we found was surprising: If people were connected in local networks they could easily coordinate with their friends, but a popular opinion never formed. However, if participants were placed into networks where they interacted with more strangers, everything changed. After a few rounds of play, people who had never interacted before began spontaneously coordinating on the same opinion. Once this started happening, a dominant norm quickly emerged and almost immediately, everyone in the population achieved consensus.
>These studies showed that the expansion of online social networks that provide people with greater access to new social contacts can impact not only the rate at which people converge on new public opinions, but also how democratic the process of opinion formation will be.
Manipulating opinions on ‘The Dress’
>Enter The Dress. We wanted to know if it would be possible to manipulate the dominant opinion about the dress color – for instance, getting everyone to coordinate on “black and blue”? More importantly, we wanted to know if we could then use a small minority of people to mobilize an alternative opinion (for instance, “white and gold”) and succeed in getting everyone to agree on the new norm.
>Like a grassroots organization with a mission, we wanted to see whether we could change the consensus view on the dress.
>Using the same experimental design described above, we ran a study on March 3 to see whether changes in popular beliefs about the dress color could be mobilized by a small fraction of participants – creating a sweeping change in popular opinion about the color of the dress.
>In this experiment, we showed people the famous dress picture and let them choose from six different color options, in random order, (black/purple; white/gold; white/tan; black/blue; black/gold; and white/blue). Immediately, the entire network converged with everyone saying “black/blue.”
>We then assigned a quarter of the population to be confederates who changed their opinion to “white/gold.” At first, this minority was ignored, and the black/blue norm seemed immutable. However, after a few rounds of interacting with other players the minority began to gain traction, eventually causing a striking shift in the network. The norm went from complete agreement on “black/blue,” to half saying “black/blue” and half saying “white/gold.”
>We continued the study to see whether any further changes in popular opinion would emerge. We found, remarkably, that the minority group was able to push their view to become the dominant opinion. By the end of the last rounds, everyone in the population was saying “white/gold”! The graph below illustrates this.

Frank Miller's Latest Batman Tackles Police Brutality
A young black man runs from corrupt cops, and only Batman can save him.
Batman has always been a force for good, stopping diabolical, often fantastical enemies before they hurt the innocent. Now, he's got a new foe: police misconduct.

It needs to stop
The Jews wiped out the vast, vast amount of good genetic stock in Russia during their 70 years of Marxist terror. Don't know if there is a solution.
If the Jews hadn't unleashed communism on us and jewel us into 2 world wars, we'd have colonies on Mars by now. Imagine how many great minds were lost? for a bunch of greasy, hook nosed kikes?

Not "can't", Kremlin "refused to".
Still, they totally can't.
Why do we humanize white criminals yet treat black criminals as literal animals?
>>57246654
Blacks never follow laws and bitch about their violent criminals being put in jail while whites generally follow laws and white people generally agree the assholes deserve it for the ones that don't. BLM not acknowledging the problems with their communities and not caring when their youth get shot by other blacks in drivebys is one of the reasons why blacks image has been irreparably tarnished.
>>57246654
Easier to fill quotas and "prove" policing is effective when you arrest blacks in troubled neighborhoods with no opportunities. "Last hired, first fired" has a lot of blacks turning to hustling in the streets to make money. So in turn we perceive this to be a problem and ask, "Why can't blacks find work" when in reality they are not preferred candidates for jobs in the first place, are usually passed up in favor for Whites and when they eventually turn to crime, they are easy pickings for police. The cycle repeats, you have serial offenders, but the solution to the problem is always, "less welfare, more policing."
>>57246654
Because blacks act like literal animals. If a white person acted like a typical black then we'd run him out of town on a rail or worse and no one would ever think a thing of it. It would just be a case of "taking out the trash," as it were. Whites generally don't act like blacks, though.
>Serbia has relatively liberal weapon laws compared to the rest of Europe. Serbia ranks in 2nd place on the List of countries by gun ownership. Gun culture is strong among Serbs and especially important part of rural life.
>Weapons are regulated by "Weapons and Ammunition Law" (Zakon o oružju i municiji). Rifles, shotguns and handguns are all allowed to civilians. Handgun ownership is allowed, but the licensing is strict. Concealed carry permits are available to approved handgun owners, but are extremely hard to obtain - one has to prove to the police that his or her life is in imminent danger, and even then, license is far from guaranteed.
>In essence, people over 18 are allowed to own guns, but must be issued a permit. People with criminal history, mental disorders, history of alcohol and illegal substance abuse, cannot be issued a permit. There is a thorough background check prior to license approval. Police have the last word on the matter, and there is no court appeal possible. When at home, the guns must be kept in a "safe place", and owner irresponsibility could lead to gun confiscation by police.
>Fully automatic weapons and non-lethal self-defense devices are prohibited. Number of guns that may be owned is not limited. Every gun transaction is recorded by police. There is no rifle caliber restriction (Must be smaller than .50BMG, however). Rifle and handgun ammunition is severely restricted, there is a 60 round limit per rifle, per year, except rounds shot at ranges. Shotgun ammo is unrestricted and shell reloading is allowed, but rifle and handgun ammo reloading is not. There is growing pressure, especially from sport shooters associations, to change the law in this regard.

Is this supposed to be a subliminal message so the goyims will racemix?
>>57246434
It's a subliminal message that Jews think that America will fall and China will become the new superpower so they've already started racemixing so they can blend in with the natives better
Pretty sure it's a man with his wife and child.
"goyim" is the plural of "goyim" you stupid goyim
Guys, can we rationalise for a sec and have an Islam appreciation thread? HEAR ME OUT! I've lived in New Zealand all my life but I frequent Malaysia quite often since I have relatives and friends living there.
What a misinterpreted view Islam has had in the mainstream. A rich and diverse religion full of people from different ethnic groups, I do not believe the actions of few should represent an entire race and religion. Although stereotypes exist for a reason and there are statistics showing some very extreme radical Islamic ideas, let's just boil it down to the everyday Muslim. Do you really think the average Muslim advocates for extremist laws on a regular basis? They're just people, like you and me :)
Now before we all go "HURRR DURRR ISLAM, ISIS GOAT FUCKERS ALL OF THEM" At least us Westerners should try to do some research first, just to be rational and have some facts...:)
I dunno if y'all hate John Green but this video ties up everything about Islam in a generally appeasing way.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpcbfxtdoI8
tldr: watch the video (maybe), research some facts about Islam and then let's make up our minds

Im hearing that whites are more likely to abuse and sell drugs in the US than blacks. Is this true?
They're less likely to get caught due to better impulse control. But the claim was that whites use drugs at the same rate as blacks, but when hair sample tests are performed you find that blacks are dishonest and actually have evelated rates.
>>57245606
