Sorry to call you "closeminded" if you are still trying to clarify
and communicate what you mean here. I meant regarding
your "set ways" on how you insist on seeing IM2 as dumb or incapable,
especially based on race/color, which I found to project a fixed personal bias.
I still hope that will change, and didn't mean to discourage or demean you for where we disagree.
My apologies if I insulted you personally in criticizing your views I felt were inaccurate.
It's right here you idiot!You replied to the black business sample I provided with numbers that resulted in the same unemployment rate despite saying earlier that the rate would change, revealing your inability to understand something as simple as rates.No. I am saying that if we had the same number of people blacks would have at east 1 million businesses. It is straight forward and easy to understand. It was a hypothetical. But grouse after spending most if his time here arguing about blacks being 13 percent of seething and there are 5 times more whites and if thee were 100,000 of this car and 20,000 of that one to excuse the fact whites commit more crimes and mote violent crimes. . So I turned it around on him to allow him to understand exactly how things would be if blacks really had 5 times the number of people.Emily you come in here niave and you want to see the good in both sides. But one side here is no good. I'm not in the business of catching bees. Everybody I know who has tried that always gets stung. There are far too may whites out there who don't hold the views of these bigots. This is what have learned because there is no such thing as looking at one person as a group. This individualism crap the guys are taking about is just a ruse whereby they only tell people of color to look at whites as individuals while they look at everybody else as a group.
No you didn't.
The same old dumb shit All the time.
100 blacks
1 back college graduate.
1 black business
20 jobs.
80 people going to other businesses looking for work.
.
Multiplied by 5
500 blacks
5 black college graduates
5 black businesses
100 jobs
400 blacks going to other businesses looking for work.
But you see the reality here is that 2 million back businesses exist. And if we multiply this by 5 that is 10 million black owned businesses and despite this fine attempt at retardation, that will create more jobs, black unemployment will be reduced and by much more that your retardation allows you to believe.
.
80/100 is the same rate as 400/500.
OK so given the job ratio is
20:100, 100:500
and the blacks outside these jobs is
80:100, 400:500
And the population ratio
is 1:5 for blacks:whites
My understanding is that IM2 means
if blacks:whites were EQUAL NOT 1:5
2 million businesses are the equivalent of 10 million
and
80 people are the equivalent of 400
You are saying that to keep the ratio the same,
then 400 people is out of 500.
That's accurate in keeping the job ratio the same.
But it does not negate the point that
80 "would be the equivalent of 400"
(and 100 would be the equivalent of 500)
where IM2 was just making a comparison
with the POPULATION ratio, changing from 1:5 to equal,
and expressing that by multiplying by 5 to represent
the "equivalent" numbers if the POPULATION was equalized.
I generally get what IM2 means, though I disagree
with expressing it this way that resulted in confusion and distraction, losing the point and purpose.
You don't get it Emily. This is not about a jobs ratio. Or any ratio. You are confusing yourself for no reason. .
I am referring to the sets that were posted.
A. first there was this set which
concerned jobs and blacks outside those jobs:
Your picture
100 blacks
1 college
1 black business
20 jobs.
80 blacks going to other jobs looking for work.
Multiplied by 5
500 blacks
5 black college graduates
5 black businesses
100 jobs
400 blacks going to other businesses looking for work.
B. Then you offered this set:
100 blacks
14 college
1 black business
72 backs already working
28 left
20 jobs
8 unemployed
Blacks in college 14%
Black labor participation rate is about 72 oercent.
Black unemployment as of October 2015 7.5 percent.
Multiplied by 5
500 blacks
70 college
5 black businesses
360 blacks already working
500 jobs available
140 jobs
Blacks get 140 jobs and 360 go to other unemployed individuals in said community.
in both cases, when you multiply by 5
that still preserves the ratio between the numbers.
And preserving the ratio does not negate
the point you were making by multiplying by 5.
At this point, I think
You were arguing about bgrouse's CONTENT
and BG was arguing about your FORMAT
(where I said the ratio was preserved
and didn't negate the point you expressed)
Now, if we can get past the FORMAT
and get back to the CONTENT, we can
argue over something instead of nothing!
