@Childishgymbino@gprabaka@JustAFamilyMan_ Well that hasn't been my experience as a Black man raised in the suburbs, although Ik that it does happen sometimes. I don't think the culture is toxic though.
@MHPoison1@JAYVERSACE Well look at that, I thought it might be one of those things Black folks started saying and then everybody started saying and then we stopped saying lol
@ShimminyKricket Decrease. However, the more that I think about it, the more I feel that safety net support might be a better family size increase incentive. I'm not personally in favor of trying to increase the birthrate anyway though, tbh, doesn't seem necessary when we could...
@ShimminyKricket Like, does the data control for access to family planning knowledge and resources? Those might correlate with income, for example. It might be that, if that stuff was held equal, birth rates by hh income would look different.
@ShimminyKricket This is interesting data, but I don't know if it proves that higher incomes wouldn't increase the birthrate (I don't think those raises should be assumed solely at men though). I feel like there might be other factors at play in the relationship between income and birth rate.
@___7445 @oogabooga3544 @Frediculous That's definitely great advice and I do have a couple templates that I use! I still find cover letters unpleasant, but I do encourage folks seeking employment to write them, because we gotta do what we gotta do!
@MFEndless Did somebody say Black folks are like Hitler? Or did they say Kanye was saying Nazi stuff? Legitimately asking, cause the format is crazy and the latter...mmm Idk but I understand why folks saying that.
@MFEndless It's still antisemitic and it's still really jacked up and dangerous, especially because Kanye is a billionaire with power and influence. So I don't think calling him a Nazi is unreasonable.
@MFEndless His statements recently have sounded pretty close to Hotep and Far Right antisemitism, so probably he thinks Jewish people are somehow controlling the world and must be "defeated" or whatever. But even though I guess that's not technically Nazism...
