You can mute subs and block users which I've found to be quite helpful. Sadly the answer is simply racism and most of the racist people here are quite unintelligent and don't offer anything to the pyramid of debate and just drag the site down as a whole. The best thing we can do is report them and hope that mods and admins will take action at the low brow racial slurs and epithets being tossed around as one to three word comments. If they're going to be racist they should at least have to express and defend their opinions.

I'm just happy to see more people that aren't right wing white men (this is simply a joke about the people who just comment racial slurs and not meant to be anything more than a joke) haha. I'm someone who really enjoys diversity so seeing the platform expand makes me happy. I was actually considering leaving, but seeing stuff like this makes me want to keep giving it a chance.

You don't need to eat lead paint to be affected by it. Just by constantly touching it you can absorb it through your skin, it can be from leaded gasoline, it can be from contaminated water like flint. Lead was also just one example. What about income disparity between different classes of people, how can it just be race if one person is able to have a higher quality of education, and more opportunities presented to them. Preference of choosing between prestigious post secondary education and not even having the option because you and your family could never afford. Societal pressures and stigmas also can affect that. While not an example of race women in the past have published books under male names because of stigma. Not an exact comparable but just an example of social stigma. Education can also be more difficult because of being in a troubled family or in a rough part of town. I think assigning all this value to race is a huge over simplification of the incredible amount of nuances and intricacies that surrounds human intelligence. Especially when IQ isn't even a proper evaluation of full intelligence in my opinion. Does it account for someone's ability to be a mechanic? What about welding or carpentry? A farmer might score way less than a university professor of say English on a IQ test but certainly the farmer knows way more about crops and livestock than the English academic. Every human is a unique individual with strengths and weaknesses that are not predetermined by ethnicity.

That sounds awesome! I can't speak much to fashion as it's something that always sort of escaped me a bit. I think general would be the way to go at the start since the site is small and you can make a second more specific sub later. You could enforce rules and general guidelines about not body shaming people. I'm afraid I can't offer tons of advice as I'm not much into fashion but I encourage you to make the sub! Just try and post lots and try to draw some more people. To discourage hug boxes you could also put a guideline perhaps for posters to be more open to constructive criticism so long as it is constructive. Maybe you could use flairs to separate people who are looking for constructive criticism and those looking just to share their fashion. Hopefully I was of some help :)

I find race quite arbitrary, what does the amount of pigment in a person's skin have to do with their value as a person? I'd compare it to the analogy of judging a fish by it's ability to climb a tree but it's more akin to judging a fish by its ability to do calculus. If you are someone that judges someone off their ethnicity then you are just applying your personal biases and beliefs onto an individual you have never met. I believe there can be some merit that ethnicity has correlation to culture as people who have Chinese strong Chinese features are more likely to be involved in Chinese culture but that is still an assumption. People of all race and skin tone reside all around the world, someone who is very fair skinned can be born an raised in Africa, someone who is very dark skinned can be born and raised in Japan. If someone who would be called African American in America was born and raised in Japan by Japanese parents would they not then be Japanese? We can control our words and actions but we cannot control all aspects of our apperance so to Jude someone, especially those who are extremely critical, disrespectful, and degrading to others, simply based off of their skin pigment is quite silly to me.

Honestly I should have been able to determine you're not a racist from how articulate you are haha. Funnily enough I'm actually a dude, but I had to call out someone saying women aren't human. It's not as if I can downvote them. ended up blocking them because they clearly were beyond reason and I felt I was wasting my time. Intially I had suggested them therapy but after they kept digging deeper into their disgusting ideology I informed them that an exorcism or lobotomy would be a better option. The name of their sub SaidIt was test sub 3 or something along those lines so I get the impression this wasn't their first attempt at belittling women.

I'm speaking quite generally. I know for instance that studies have shown people who are African American in North America are at a slightly higher risk of heart disease. I know there are nuances associated with dna and such but I think it's more complicated than just DNA as a blanket answer. Well it is a factor there are other things to consider, like how poor neighborhoods and ghettos tend to have lead paint which negatively impacts intelligence. Nutrition and diet affect this as well, fast foot directly affects intelligence in a negative way. This is an extremely long reply so apologies. I think it's also worth noting that IQ tests are not without there flaws. People who are using English as a second or third language and not proficient in English are obviously going to have a lower score if not tested in their native tongue. I definitely understand and appreciate that it is as simple as I made it out to be in my initial comment but I wasn't particularly interested in writing a 60 page report haha.

Does it also give YouTube premium? Vanced gives you background play and listening to audio with the screen locked.

Is there a "diy" music sub here? by [deleted] in AskSaidIt

I second this, I wouldn't be able to contribute but would love to checkout a sub SaidIt like that !

PROBLEM: Pyramid-dragging comments don't get removed. by hydr0lyze in SaidIt

I think this is an extremely valid point, what do you think should be done about people who post only slurs and racial epithets? I think perhaps some form of auto moderation might help because if people want to be racist they should at least have to express an opinion, instead of just throwing a single word or two word comment that drags the entire site down.

I think there is quite a large amount of people here who simply see free speech as a means to use racial slurs. I love seeing all the different opinions here and I think the two different upvotes is a very interesting system but when many users are just going around and only writing single word comments that are racial slurs they bring the whole site down. Who is going to want to keep participating in comments when instead of meaningful discussion happening it's just edgy 14 year olds and racists insulting people. It is only hurting the site in my opinion. If someone wants to express an opinion that might be racist or unpopular that is completely fine, my issue is with the people who do nothing productive and only throw slurs and racial epithets.

Just report and move on. The site is based on the pyramid of debate and I'd be impressed if any of these racist who only shout slurs could even process the word pyramid to begin with. Mods and admins can remove them for dragging down discussion.

I see you're here because of the pyramid of debate. If only you had a semblance of intelligence.

Kanye West - I Thought About Killing You by [deleted] in Life

I knew Kanye had a pretty crazy life but I didn't realize it was to this extent. Thank you for sharing so much! I think anyone would be changed to some extent by fame but the fact that all of this was all happening to Kanye is just insane. I'm happy he was able to somehow pull through everything. Definitely not something everyone can do.

Dang I never new about, well basically all of this. No need to apologize for a long comment when it's as informative and insightful as this. Thanks for taking the time to reply so thoroughly. I'd definitely look crazy trying to get rid of reporters in my garage at 4am haha. I'm glad he has been able to keep making such great music despite all these adversities.

The power emotions can have on how we perceive reality can be frightening sometimes. When books are able to not only convey what is happening but get across the raw emotion too, that always makes for an incredible book.
