@JoshScottJones@KurtSchlichter The Republican Party was created by abolitionists explicitly to end slavery.
The KKK was created to intimidate Republicans and freed blacks during Reconstruction.
The "parties switched" lie was started in the 70s to explain Nixon's win. It was the "Russia collusion" of its day.
Impulsivity, executive function, and cognitive differences:
Average group differences in IQ (~1 SD) and executive function shift the distribution toward higher impulsivity and weaker long-term cost calculation, predicting elevated aggression and criminal justice contact. Going to jail over trivial disputes is the predictable outcome of high time-preference: immediate emotional release outweighs delayed consequences. High-trust societies depend on people routinely weighing delayed consequences and suppressing immediate aggression.
Street code and honor norms:
In many inner-city environments, respect functions as fragile social capital that must be aggressively defended; even minor perceived slights trigger escalation because backing down signals weakness and invites further targeting. This honor-code dynamic, more strongly endorsed by black men in recent studies, turns ordinary interactions and social friction into status contests.
Father absence and socialization:
Decades of high non-marital birth rates (~70%) leave many black boys without consistent paternal discipline and modeling of restraint, strongly predicting externalizing behavior and later crime even after controlling for income. In the absence of that structure, street-code norms fill the gap and reinforce “don’t take shit” over self-control.
Grievance framing and external locus of control:
Media and activist narratives reframe routine rules and friction (ID checks, seat policies, limited service, waiting in line) as systemic disrespect, lowering the threshold for treating compliance as surrender. Once coded this way, non-compliance becomes the default response, converting minor inconvenience or disputes into arrests.

@Gitmo99 She knows the policy.
She just showed up confident she could bully her way through.
She threw every tactic she could at him to get her way.
You know she learned this from her mother.
@harryjsisson Really, Harry? That's your big breathless scoop?
Lindsey was gay?
That was the biggest open secret in the Republican Party and no one cared... except mid-wit liberals like you trying to sling dirt on their political opponents.
@Daily__Front The average IQ in India is lower than Afghanistan.
On another note, all our American STEM graduates are working at Starbuck's because we've filled our IT jobs with cheap Indian labor.
At least the shareholders are happy!
We're watching every nation in the West devolve into the Third World - violent street riots, grooming gangs, child trafficking, massive fraud of social programs - and it's all facilitated by affluent liberals holding the gates open because they're afraid of being called racists.
@HollyBriden Yes. In Muslim countries, parts of Asia, and in India, where honor killing of girls is the norm.
You know, those countries liberals insist are more evolved that the West because they're not run by icky white men...
