[quote]there’s little evidence-backed consensus about which
sorts of diversity programmes work, and why, and there have been
long-standing concerns in some quarters that these programmes
don’t do much at all, or that they could actually be
harmful.[/quote]
Bigots cannot learn not to be bigots, and non-bigots never
needed to learn it. The only way to end bigotry is to prohibit
the bigoted from reproducing. We have been saying all this long
ago.

Someone starting to shift from False Left to True Left:

re/2019/06/26/53c9087a-982d-11e9-830a-21b9b36b64ad_story.html
[quote]We used to think photos like this could change the world.
What needs to change is who we are.
...
Salvadoran migrant Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his
toddler daughter, Valeria, died Sunday after being swept away by
a strong current while the family was trying to cross the Rio
Grande into the United States. Unknown to most of the world
until this week, they are now briefly famous, a toddler in red
shorts and tiny shoes, tucked inside her father’s dark T-shirt,
seemingly at rest as if napping with her dad on a hot afternoon.
...
Because these images have already broken through our own
resistance to seeing pain and tragedy in the world, we imagine
that they must break through the collective conscience as
powerful political icons. They enter our consciousness almost by
stealth and then explode, and that is how we assume they’ll work
in the public square, too.
So the image gets shared on social media, and is seen repeatedly
on cable television and sometimes in the pages of newspapers. As
it circulates, we believe it will acquire enough force and
familiarity that our political leaders will have to do something
different — change policies, reverse course, revise their own
understanding of the severity of a problem. For more than a
century, this metaphor has been in operation behind the scenes
whenever journalists, or activists, hold up photographs to the
world, and say: This is a truth you must acknowledge.
...
But when nationalism has successfully dehumanized the other,
there is no breaking through, and people who imagine that a
photographic message must assuredly be so powerful that it will
touch all hearts are forced to grapple with a more confounding
truth: Not all consciences operate alike, not everyone is
susceptible to what seems a basic, even rudimentary level of
empathy. And so, there is a paradox: We resist the idea of
living in an us-vs.-them world only to find that our basic sense
of “us” is already fractured. We look out at our fellow humans
and can’t honestly understand how their minds work. At some
level, we think, “Can’t you see what is happening in this
image?” As if seeing and understanding are identical.
...
You may look at this photo and think that its deep message is
“We are all hoping for a better life and will take extraordinary
risks on behalf of those we love.” But someone else will
probably say, “People shouldn’t cross borders without
permission.” The drowning becomes a kind of punishment, a river
stands in for ideas of human authority, and the photograph
doesn’t break through anything. It merely reiterates an old and
cherished belief: Bad things happen to those who break the
rules.
There is a fundamental difference between these two
interpretations: One requires time and effort, an act of engaged
empathy, while the other is a quick judgment that reaffirms an
existing sense of the world. The power of a photograph like this
depends on the time we devote to it and our basic sense of who
these people are. For the few hours or days that this photograph
elicits chatter and argument, there will be efforts to make it
an allegory of law and judgment rather than an opportunity for
moral imagination and compassion.[/quote]
The part in bold is the shift.
There is no "paradox", however, and it is False Leftist to think
that there is. Yes, we - like you - resist the idea of living in
an us-vs-them world. But we - unlike you - do not resist the
idea of living in a superior-vs-inferior world. Those who lack
universalist empathy are inferior. They are not "our fellow
humans", they are barbarians who should be exterminated.
And the need for effort to empathize is itself a sign of
inferiority, albeit on a more advanced tier. The truly empathic
require no effort to empathize (if anything almost all our
effort during most of our waking lives is spent on suppressing
our empathy so that we can retain marginal functionality in
mainstream society where we witness non-stop violence everywhere
we look). But this is the difference between True Leftists and
False Leftists. In the author's words, False Leftists possess a
"resistance to seeing pain and tragedy in the world" (though to
their credit they are at least willing to expend effort to
overcome this resistance). True Leftists, in contrast, rarely
see anything except pain and tragedy.
Furthermore, this False Left author really does fail to
understand how rightist minds work. Do you really think the
rightists believe "people" shouldn't cross borders without
permission? What rightists believe is that "non-whites"
shouldn't cross borders without "white" permission, whereas
"whites" can do Manifest Destiny for centuries without deserving
any punishment whatsoever. And this is underpins the first
point. "Whites" do not see "non-whites" as "people", so why
should we see "whites" as "our fellow humans"?

Zeldin (Jew) is a notable critic of Omar.
Unfortunately, AOC is not even close to getting it yet:

[quote]But then Ocasio-Cortez made a direct appeal to racists
and white supremacists ― and her message was simple: “Come
back.”
She also called on those “radicalized in a funnel of vitriol” to
turn away from hate, promising that they would be welcomed with
love in return:
“There is a mother waiting for you, I know it. I know there’s a
teacher waiting for you, saying, ‘What happened to my kid? What
happened to my friend?’ And we will always be here and hold
space for you to come back. We will love you back. You are not
too far gone.”[/quote]
They do not deserve our love. To love them despite what they
have done is to insult their victims. What happened to those
kids in cages, AOC? Many of them have died. They aren't able to
come back to be loved by those who care about them. Yet you want
me to believe it is fair to give give those who cheered them
being put in cages a chance to come back and be loved?
True Leftists have only one message to white supremacists: WE
WILL REPLACE YOU.

You cannot defeat racism merely by banning its social
expression. I have said this from the beginning, and now the
researchers confirm it:
gwtoday.gwu.edu/novel-mapping-model-tracks-how-hate-spreads-and-
adapts-online
(ignore innacurate use of word "hate")
[quote]The researchers saw clusters creating new adaptation
strategies in order to regroup on other platforms or re-enter a
platform after being banned. For example, clusters can migrate
and reform on other platforms or use different languages to
avoid detection. This allows the cluster to quickly bring back
thousands of supporters to a platform where they have been
banned and highlights the need for cross-platform cooperation to
limit online hate groups.
“The analogy is no matter how much weed killer you place in a
yard, the problem will come back, potentially more aggressively.
In the online world, all yards in the neighborhood are
interconnected in a highly complex way—almost like wormholes.
This is why individual social media platforms like Facebook need
new analysis such as ours to figure out new approaches to push
them ahead of the curve,” Dr. Johnson said.[/quote]
And even in face of their own results, the False Left
researchers still don't get it:
[quote]The team, which included researchers at the University of
Miami, used insights from its online hate mapping to develop
four intervention strategies that social media platforms could
immediately implement based on situational circumstances:
Reduce the power and number of large clusters by banning the
smaller clusters that feed into them.
Attack the Achilles’ heel of online hate groups by randomly
banning a small fraction of individual users in order to make
the global cluster network fall apart.
Pit large clusters against each other by helping anti-hate
clusters find and engage directly with hate clusters.
Set up intermediary clusters that engage hate groups to help
bring out the differences in ideologies between them and make
them begin to question their stance.[/quote]
It should be obvious why all of the above methods will fail for
exactly the same reason that they themselves already stated(!):
clusters will regroup elsewhere as fast as they are banned
anywhere. We can win debates against racists all day and they
will just start repeating the same discredited arguments again
the next day somewhere else.
Racism exists in the blood of racists. The only serious way to
defeat racism is to terminate every last racist bloodline in the
world. Anything else is dangerous delusion precisely because it
creates the illusion of activism that lulls anti-racists into a
false sense of achievement.
[quote]Dr. Johnson found that the varied ways individuals can
interpret common information leads to polarization. People
interpret news stories differently based on what is going on in
their lives, he said, and these extremes are likely to be
enhanced over time because of social media algorithms designed
to reduce division. These findings contradict a common
perception that polarized media consumption is what creates
greater ideological divides and feeds online extremism.[/quote]
No, people interpret news stories differently based on their
genes. A poor racist who wins the lottery does not become less
racist because of winning the lottery.

I told you so:
www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/deradicalize-hate-groups-experts
-1.5255835
[quote]While people might wish for a magic pill or program,
there is no easy way to guide someone away from hateful, racist
ideologies, deradicalization experts say.
...
Deradicalization, the experts said, is most successful if
mentors can reach people before their racist or discriminatory
views become hardened
...
"There has to be a will for them to want to leave that lifestyle
behind," he said. "It's not approaching active members. That
becomes a very hard and very unsafe and unethical process."
Unethical, because it can put the volunteer or counsellor in
jeopardy of retaliation, said Galloway. Even though there's a
low chance of success and there could be risks to his safety, he
said he still tries to reach them.
"I've done some work speaking with active people online. Just
saying to them, 'Hey, you know, if and when you feel like
there's a change in your life that you want to make toward
leaving those groups, you know we're here.'"[/quote]
If they want to leave racism, they will do so without your help,
and if they don't want to leave racism, you will not convince
them to do so. So why do you even bother?
There is a magic pill for ending racism, however. Whatever
prevents racists from reproducing will suffice.

[quote]It was surely a swift process for some people. Here's a
talk-radio soundboard running for president, yelling about
Mexicans and Muslims and how we need a Big, Beautiful Wall to
keep Those People out. He knows whose country this is. He knows
who should make the rules, and who ought to shut up and follow
them. He knows who gets a seat at the table in America. They
were in from the jump, from the moment they first stood at a
rally and felt that twisted power coursing through their veins.
But others, you have to think, were more gradual converts. Maybe
they felt the world was passing them by. Maybe they didn't know
until he came along how much they needed an outlet for their
rage at a million quotidian cuts—the new boss who doesn't look
like a boss should look, having to press "1" for English. They
were primed for it, sure, but it took a while to fully commit.
Day after day, as they continued to support him—through the
racist tirades and the attacks on veterans and their families
and the exploding allegations that he is a serial sexual
predator—they were forced to give up more and more of themselves
to stay on-board. And as they gave up more of themselves, they
became more and more devout in their allegiance to The Movement.
At some point, the sunk cost became insurmountable. There is no
going back now. They have given all of themselves to him.
...
This is how he thinks he can win reelection: by continuing to
pull his base of support towards more vitriolic expressions of
this vision of America as a country for and by white people; by
scaring other constituencies away from speaking out; by using
the Republican Party's machinations to stop inconvenient voters
from voting; by smearing his opponents as Just As Bad As Him,
They Just Pretend to Be Prim and Proper; by soliciting foreign
meddling that will benefit him in exchange for favors when he is
reelected.
All the while, he will drag his supporters deeper and deeper
into the abyss. They cannot be reached now, only
stopped.[/quote]
They are not going to change their viewpoint even if Trump loses
in 2020. If anything, they will only move even further right. In
fact many of them have been saying by mid 2017 that Trump
himself is not rightist enough. The ideal candidate they would
actually want would make Trump look moderate in comparison.

[quote]America is amidst an overdue reckoning for the systemic
racism that has been a fundamental feature of our culture for
400 years. President Abraham Lincoln seemed to cast slavery as
America's original sin, and in his second inaugural address
acknowledged that if “all the wealth piled by the bond man's 250
years of unrequited toil shall be sunk,” that would be a fair
judgment on the United States.
Yet here we are, a century-and-a-half later, and America has
failed to atone for this original sin while committing myriad
others against people of color.
Now it feels like the world is spiraling out of control. We are
experiencing the effects of ignoring, minimizing and
rationalizing sin. If you are uncomfortable with the word sin,
just use the word evil in its place. We have allowed evil to
flourish.[/quote]
Yes, and do you know why? Because you made the mistake of
believing evil people can be taught not to be evil.
[quote]Yes, it’s a scary and chaotic historical moment, but, in
the end, this might be what it takes for white people to finally
face up to our failure to eradicate the white supremacy that
infects our society. As my friend and anti-racism educator Lisa
Sharon Harper says, “The only course of action for white people
now is repentance and repair.”
I’ll start: I repent for my lack of action. I repent for my lack
of urgency. I repent for not listening more. I repent for
lacking humility. If the religious language of repentance
alienates you, then just try saying, “I’m sorry.”[/quote]
Words mean nothing. Either racists voluntarily refrain from
reproducing or they cannot claim repentance.
[quote]So what does repair look like?
Lincoln made clear that it was not just the enslavement of black
people, which was heinous enough, but also the wealth that was
accumulated from their “unrequited toil” that was a stain on
America. There can be no true repair without monetary
reparations. This country would not exist in its current form
without the free labor of black people. Even post-slavery, black
people have never been paid fairly for their work, and they
typically lack the generational wealth that benefits many white
Americans.
For those who say reparations are impossible, I say, “Do your
homework.” Reparations have worked in various other contexts,
and they can work here. Working toward official reparations will
take time, but in the meantime use your money to support the
BIPOC Project (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) that's
doing the work of dismantling white supremacy.[/quote]
No. As I have said before, monetary "reparations" amount to
bribing the victim to drop the charges. A victim with dignity
does not accept bribes. The only sincere reparation is to leave
behind no biological descendants.
[quote]Repair also looks like giving up the need to center your
experience and your feelings. When you feel hurt by a criticism
of white people, deal with that on your own. You do not ask
BIPOC to help you feel better. Don’t go to them with your tears
about how hard it is to face your own racism. (Believe it or
not, this happens all the time.) You do not treat black and
brown people as your unofficial pastor to confess your racist
sins to. They’ve had enough trauma and don’t need you to unload
yours on them.
Repair looks like privileging the experiences and perspectives
of BIPOC over the white narrative. They actually know more about
what it’s like to live their lives than you do. Listen to them.
Repair looks like you interrogating your own privileges and
biases and unlearning your own toxic behavior.[/quote]
But how can you guarantee that such behaviour, which is
heritable (indeed which evolved because racism is an extremely
efficient survival strategy):
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/human-evolution/ethnotribalism-the-computer-simulation/
will not arise again in future generations of the same
bloodlines? The only answer is to voluntarily refrain from
reproducing. Anything else is insincere and deserves to be
treated with contempt, especially by the sincere anti-racists
who are voluntarily refraining from reproducing.

Daily Beast: Joe Biden thinks that around 10 to 15 percent of

Probably closer to 90% I'd say. It all depends on what criteria
you are using to judge whether a person is "good" or not, right?
I mean, if we judge a person as being good only if they have
never initiated violence against another, then maybe only 5% or
less of people are actually good, no? Whose eating all those

ange-police-behavior_n_5ee28fc3c5b60b32f010ed48
[quote]If a police department can spend three years undergoing
bias training and still shoot a peaceful, unarmed Black
protester, what has the training really achieved?[/quote]
It has achieved procrastination from using state control over
reproduction to solve the problem.
[quote]Over the last decade, implicit bias training has become
one of the primary methods for law enforcement agencies and
policymakers to demonstrate that they take concerns over racist
policing seriously. According to a CBS survey of 155 police
departments last year, 69% said they were using implicit bias
training. Half said they had initiated the programs after the
controversial 2014 killing of Michael Brown, a Black teenager,
by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
In the wake of the May 25 police killing of George Floyd in
Minneapolis, calls have intensified to expand these programs.
The mayors of Los Angeles, Milwaukee and Tampa, Florida, have
signaled their intention to install or expand them. Texas and
Michigan have passed bills requiring police officers to receive
such training. In a Medium post, former President Barack Obama
pointed readers to a toolkit urging “ongoing and scenario-based”
anti-bias training for all police officers.
Despite its near-universal support among policymakers, however,
research has failed to show that implicit bias training has any
lasting effect on racial discrimination or the behavior of
police officers.
“We don’t have any evidence that anti-bias trainings work (in
general,) and we know even less about whether they work for
police officers,” said Joshua Correll, a University of Colorado
professor who has been studying implicit bias for more than 20
years.
A 2016 study of nine different methods for reducing bias found
that none had any lasting effect after a few days. Few
researchers have followed up specifically with law enforcement
agencies to see if the training had any effect on the practices
of officers.
“People have jumped on the idea that we should be providing this
training without clear documentation that it makes any
difference whatsoever,” Correll said.
...
Over time, implicit bias tests have revealed that much of the
population associates Black faces with criminality, violence and
aggression. Test subjects are more likely to interpret an
ambiguous shove as hostile when a Black person does it, for
example.[/quote]
Much of the population should be prohibited from reproducing.
[quote]Researchers have also documented implicit bias in police
officers. In a 2016 study, 96% of police officers associated
Black Americans with weapons. Other research has found that law
enforcement officers classify Black faces as more threatening
and perceive ordinary objects as dangerous after viewing photos
of Black people. In a laboratory experiment, researchers found
that police officers were more quick to press a button labeled
“shoot” when presented with a Black suspect.
This form of bias has profound implications for every aspect of
police work, from deciding whether to pull over an errant driver
to shooting a suspect who reaches into his pocket. These
split-second decisions or subconscious choices add up to the
racial disparities seen in policing. Black drivers are more
likely to be stopped, searched and arrested — despite being less
likely than whites to be carrying contraband. Black victims of
fatal police shootings are more likely to be unarmed. The arrest
rates for all kinds of misdemeanors are twice as high for Black
Americans than they are for whites.[/quote]
[quote]There’s even some evidence that implicit bias training
makes racist attitudes worse. Highlighting bias among police
officers could reinforce the message that racism is widespread.
In response, participants may resent feeling they’re being
lectured about their racist views and entrench them more
deeply.[/quote]
Duh! The people who need the training in the first place are
racists, so how else do you expect them to react?
And the people who would not react like that are those who would
not need the training to begin with.
[quote]“As individuals, we’re a conduit for the cultures in
which we live,” Correll said. “So if you’re embedded in a
culture that associates Black men with violence and danger, that
may well swamp anything you learn in an hours-long, or even
weeks-long, training.”[/quote]
If education has any role to play, it should be in educating
people about how absurd this stereotype is. None of the colonial
powers were "black"! If anyone should be associated with
"violence and danger", it should be those associated with
colonialism! Even if we're talking about the US only, it sure
wasn't "blacks" who came up with Manifest Destiny FFS!
Plus, how much of the following undescribably violent and
dangerous stuff are "blacks" responsible for? (Answer: almost
none.)

[quote]Unconscious bias training is a lucrative industry, but it
won’t change consciously hostile policies
...
More than 30 years ago, Ambalavaner Sivanandan warned against
“the sort of psychospiritual mumbo-jumbo which… by reducing
social problems to individual solutions, passes off personal
satisfaction for political liberation”. A radical whose writings
influenced a generation of activists in the 1970s and 80s,
Sivanandan was an early critic of what was then called “racial
awareness training”.
...
A meta-analysis of almost 500 studies found that training has
only a “weak” effect on an individual’s implicit-bias score, and
none on their behaviour.
...
We all possess implicit frameworks through which we make sense
of the world. It’s always useful to question those frameworks
and interrogate our prejudices.
It was not, however, unconscious bias that made a police officer
place his knee on George Floyd’s neck. Or that led to the police
stopping and handcuffing Bianca Williams and Ricardo dos Santos,
or to the equivalent of almost a third of young black males in
London being stopped and searched during lockdown. Or that
created the hostile environment policy and led to the Windrush
scandal. These are all the products of very conscious
policies.[/quote]
It sounds so obvious when someone is willing to just state it.
So, when is society going to start using our proposed solution
of terminating racist bloodlines?

[quote]One critique leveled at antiracism training is that it
just may not work. Frank Dobbin, a Harvard sociology professor,
has published research on attempts, over three decades, to
combat bias in over 800 U.S. companies, including a 2016 study
with Alexandra Kalev in The Harvard Business Review. (As far
back as the early ’60s, he recounts in his book “Inventing Equal
Opportunity,” Western Electric, responding to a
Kennedy-administration initiative to enhance equity, presented
lectures by Kenneth Clark and James Baldwin to company
managers.) Dobbin’s research shows that the numbers of women or
people of color in management do not increase with most
anti-bias education. “There just isn’t much evidence that you
can do anything to change either explicit or implicit bias in a
half-day session,” Dobbin warns. “Stereotypes are too
ingrained.”
When we first talked, and I described DiAngelo’s approach, he
said, “I certainly agree with what she’s saying” about our
white-supremacist society. But he noted that new research that
he’s revising for publication suggests that anti-bias training
can backfire, with adverse effects especially on Black people,
perhaps, he speculated, because training, whether consciously or
subconsciously, “activates stereotypes.” When we spoke again in
June, he emphasized an additional finding from his data: the
likelihood of backlash “if people feel that they’re being forced
to go to diversity training to conform with social norms or
laws.”[/quote]

I told you so:
HTML https://phys.org/news/2020-08-racism-genetic-trait.html
[quote]New research suggests racism could be a genetic trait
...
Could it be that we are born with predispositions to certain
political opinions? According to the findings, the answer is
yes.
"People who share the same sets of attitudes also appear to
share the same genes," said Thomas Haarklau Kleppestø, Ph.D.
fellow at the Department of Psychology, University of Oslo.
...
As expected, the researchers found a link between SDO and
political attitudes. E.g., those who favored a hierarchical
structure in society often wished for stricter immigration
control and reduced foreign aid.
However, the findings also revealed that peoples' SDO had a
genetic connection to all the eight measured political
attitudes. According to Kleppestø, this could partly explain the
link between the political attitudes.
"We do not believe that our genome directly controls our
political attitudes. However, we speculate that we are born with
a predisposition that is strengthened over time, for example
when we find friends with similar preferences," Kleppestø said.
The researchers believe that you may be born with a personality
trait that could lead you into environments where it is
enforced. So-called active gene-environment-correlation is
well-known phenomenon in behavioral genetics.[/quote]
So when do we stop the nonsense of "diversity seminars" and
start just prohibiting the genetic racists from reproducing?

Any debate aimed at convincing is a waste of time, provoking
only a conflict between the conscious and the subconscious. All
real emotions are by default instinctive so the slightest virtue
signalling is to be avoided. Our only duty is to spread the
facts and observe unconscious tribalist behaviors in order to
determine which ones should disappear. In this way we will
immediately spot the honest tribalists and especially the
hypocrites of the left serving only their own interests.

And again we are vindicated:

[quote]To subject the whitelash hypothesis to a more rigorous
test, I conducted a survey experiment from Aug. 1-29, 2019. In
total, 1,527 white respondents were treated with “primes”
representative of contemporary discussions of race and then
questioned on topics of identity and group attitudes. I focused
specifically on self-identified conservative and high
white-identifying respondents.
To capture the effects of critical rhetoric, I used an excerpt
from Macy Sto. Domingo’s “18 Things White People Seem To Not
Understand (Because, White Privilege).” Among white
conservatives, this “critical prime” predicted 8 percent
increased support (weighted mean) for whites “work[ing] together
to improve the position of their group,” in comparison to the
“control group.”
To further probe the effects of critical themes on identity, I
asked respondents to rate the importance of certain factors to
being “truly American.” Here, critical prime exposure appears to
have narrowed the boundaries of the “in-group.”
For example, conservative whites expressed 12 percent greater
agreement that only those with “American ancestry” are truly
American. High white-identifiers expressed 20 percent greater
agreement with this same claim and 8 percent greater support for
restricting American identity to those “born in the U.S.”
Critical prime exposure also increased conservative
“ethnocentrism,” or net “feeling thermometer” preference for
whites over minorities by 5 percent.[/quote]
More importantly:
[quote]In most cases, findings were the opposite for white
leftists. Exposure to the critical prime thus created a wider
gap between the racial attitudes reported by left-leaning and
conservative (also low/high white-identifying) whites.[/quote]
