Correct. Also, that adjectives in US are overdone as with many Yank things. You are a clever boy.

TGD:

Likewise, blacks living in alcoholic and social dysfunction, and poverty, can't "choose" to "leave a bad background" because they don't have the necessary information and assistance to be able to do so, unlike people like Pearson and Thorpe and Price who did have access to those things.

Did they chose alcoholic dysfunction?

No-one "chooses" to experience alcoholic dysfunction, and nor do babies "choose" to be born with FAS (Foetal Alcohol Syndrome.)

So who MAKES them go to the bottle shop against their will, buy the booze against their will and drink it all by midday, against their will?

"The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak".

So the question is what causes community-wide addiction, of the type we see in black communites, and what can be done about it.

Quote:

Is there ANYTHING an Aboriginal person has personal agency in? Is there ANYTHING you can be responsible for while black?

Not during an epidemic of community-wide addiction.

Quote:

Is Langton responsible for her idiocy about anyone thinking differently to her on the Voice is a stupid racist?

Yes....but your thoughts on personal responsibility are also idiotic, unhinged from reality.

Quote:

Did YOU make her say such a stupid thing

No.

The sad and sorry state of "human rights" in a world in which war is 'legal' and poverty is endemic.

Key issues on agenda of June 2023 session of the Human Rights Council
The 53rd session of the UN Human Rights Council, from 19 June to 14 July 2023, will consider issues including sexual orientation and gender identity, violence and discrimination against women and girls, poverty, peaceful assembly and association, and freedom of expression, among others. It will also present an opportunity to address grave human rights situations including in Afghanistan, Belarus, China, Eritrea, Israel and oPt, Russia, Sudan, Syria and Venezuela, among many others. Here’s an overview of some of the key issues on the agenda.

Interestingly, a Chinese rep recently visiting a human rights conference in Geneva remarked on the 'rundown infrastructure' in European cities (a bit like Trump seeing Washington as a graffiti-covered slum "full of run-down buildings", during his arraignment for trial...all the result of 'Bidenomics').

The West's mantra about "Human Rights" in the face of chronic homelessness and deteriorating public infrastructure at home, is hypocrisy at its worst.
