ChromaticAngel 10/11/17 10:35:32 PM #11:	Jorep posted... Would be interested to see some examples of these at play. A good example would be to point out what percentage of black people (out of only all black people and not the population at large) are arrested vs the percentage of white people. Doing so neglects to illustrate that prison population is majority white, and also fails to illustrate demographic economic status (poverty has more crime). It also neglects to demonstrate that courts often punish black criminals harder than white ones and are more likely to be given longer sentences. --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png <cite>ChromaticAngel posted [p:888267488] in Question o...

Jorep 10/11/17 11:59:25 PM #16:	@ChromaticAngel strict semantics aside I can definitely dig that as a sort of biased output of a nonbiased input, so I see your point. Capn Circus posted... @Jorep Hey! Do you still do the CE podcasts? You have a great voice. @Capn_Circus I appreciate the compliment, sincerely. =D I haven't done one of those in quite a while, though I'm definitely not opposed. When they fell by the wayside I had two interviews that fell through in unison and it coincided with me getting a promotion at work, so I became super busy for a little while. If there was interest and some people want to come on and do an episode I'd be absolutely down. These days I've been doing a lot of solo YouTube stuff, some unboxing and gaming vids but I'm trying to branch more into the sort of sociopolitical, economic side of radio. [/shameless plug] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNR2BM9VsXc Stuff like that video. I also stream on Twitch three or four times a week but I'll stop plugging myself now. I would totally love to do some more CE videos with people. --- http://www.youtube.com/channeljorp - Catch me on those YouTubes. https://www.twitch.tv/channeljorp - Or on the Twitches. <cite>Jorep posted [p:888271756] in Question o...
