The basic African mindset is "it takes a village".
A lot of them believe, on a very basic level, that their children's upbringing is not their responsibility. Not universal, of course, but it seems a genetically predisposed cultural influence, across the globe.
It's been racist since the achievement gap was first discovered. The first solution, Common Core, was designed to retard the naturally capable kids learning to close this, while simultaneously putting the burden of teaching the naturally retarded kids on the capable kids. This is just a repackaging.
Really, though, it's about conditioning kids to reject individualism in favor of collectivism, because this is still part of a century old attempt to subvert the pinnacle of captialism and Western achievement.
E: poorly worded sentence
Well, the media has certainly sold this as a nearly slam dunk win for the prosecution. It's gonna be epic if Chauvin gets off. Which he should. There was good cause for reasonable doubt before this, despite the defenses ineptitude.
Tobin mentioned it was an arterial blood gas test taken postmortem in the ER, which are generally done from the arm. And yes, not choked out. Positional asphyxia was the defenses entire case, which was a constriction of his lungs that prevented proper oxygenation.
Hope they don't let this slip by. The defense has been pretty atrocious.
Edit: Not postmortem
Yeah, I'm having trouble finding literature on o2 levels of asphyxiation victims. Perhaps ventilation and chest compressions raised levels after he was headed to the hospital. Still, 98% is pretty good. Really good for getting choked out, I'd think.
E:
O2-Hb in the heart blood was usually very low (under 10%) in fatalities from asphyxiation, drowning, poisoning and natural diseases.

Pretty sure they said finger stick for the blood draw, so not exact, but it would seem asphyxiation does have a common sense effect on O2 levels.
I dunno, Dom...

Looks pretty fucking Jewish to me. When you buy something, there's implied ownership. And there are receipts.
Fair enough. I'll be shocked if the reading of the verdict isn't the starting gun for their free shopping spree they've been psyching themselves up for for weeks, regardless of the content of the verdict. And I'll admit I misjudged.
E: A caveat, though. Just because Ali Velshi calls it a mostly peaceful celebration in the local Foot Locker, doesn't make it so.
Disagree. I'll explain further down.
Agreed. Social stigma is a powerful force that cuts just below the rule of law. Removing it was a mistake.
Complete agreement.
However, even in America, the dominant male figure seems to the most violent in the vicinity. Inidividually there are certainly exceptions, but African societies seem to have a different family structure that we can see reflected in America. A group of mothers, and men who fight and die. Their worst aspects have been exacerbated by policy. Not a government they'd ever form on their own.
What we see now, is an attempt to find something they feel comfortable with, and it will severely chafe most European descendants.
