Yes, 90% of black murder victims were killed by black offenders. And 83% of white murder victims were killed by white offenders. By your source, guestwho, people are a lot more likely to be killed by someone of their own race, regardless of what that race is.
But consider also: analysis of 2015 U.S. census data found that at least 1 in 3 black people killed by police were unarmed, that 37% of unarmed people killed by police were black despite black people representing only 13% of the population, and that unarmed black people are killed at 5 times the rate of unarmed white people.
Are black people more likely to be killed by other black people than by the police? Yes.
But are unarmed black people at a much greater risk of being killed by police than unarmed white people are? Also yes. Which is fucked up, and definitely not equal.

Honestly that seems appropriate for someone holding Grumpy Cat

Nah man, everyone else thinks America is kinda scary and makes really bad choices. Like, why is there still a legitimate chance Donald Trump will be your president?
America's more like the friend who thinks they're hot shit even though no one really likes them that much.

He must be stopped

Actually, there are favourable depictions of non-procreative, pre-marital sex in the Bible, namely the Song of Songs. Furthermore, nowhere in the Bible is marriage defined as being between a man and a woman.
A lot of the Christian opposition to homosexuality comes from priests and minsters rather than actual scripture.

Different guest here. The statistic you mentioned comes from a longitudinal study following trans people who underwent gender reassignment surgery, which did indeed find that the sample group had a higher suicide rate than the general population.
However, because the study was not specifically meant to look at suicide rates, it doesn't include a control group of transgender people who did not elect to have surgery. This means we can't conclude that transitioning is a risk factor for suicide, because we don't know if it actually increases compared to trans people who don't opt for surgery.
A more likely explanation for the higher suicide rates in the trans sample is the negative effects of discrimination and social stigma on mental health.

True, but teenagers and young adults are worse at long-term risk assessment because the part of the brain responsible for that sort of thinking (the amygdala) only fully develops in your early twenties. Some young people might ignore the risk and start smoking, and then only change their minds when they're older and they've already developed an addiction.

AU where the Rainbow Quartz scene is exactly the same except her face is this mask

Well he's still not as shit as the TRAITOR

"Queer" is beginning to come into use as an umbrella term meaning not heterosexual, but its history as an insult means you have to be careful. Unless it's in an academic context (e.g. "queer studies," "queer representation,") or you yourself are gay, it's probably best not to use it.

I'm from Quebec and I was taught the bullshit with sixty-twelve and four-twenty.

Community. First few seasons are on Netflix if you want to check it out.

For the record:
“Rape culture is a complex set of beliefs that encourage male sexual aggression and supports violence against women. […] In a rape culture both men and women assume that sexual violence is a fact of life, inevitable [...]” (Buchwald, Transforming a Rape Culture)
It's difficult to provide a clear definition, though, I find it's easier to explain through examples, like how we place more emphasis on teaching women how not to get raped than on discouraging men from raping. Or telling women they should have dressed less provocatively instead of examining why many men feel entitled to harass women whose clothes aren't modest enough.
I'm taking a sexual ethics course where we did a chapter on rape culture, it's a recognized phenomenon from an academic standpoint, not just within online feminist circles.

Exactly! Why are we hating on people for wearing makeup? It takes so much time and practice and skill to make yourself look good. If someone knows how to contour or whatever, honestly, good for them! We shouldn't hate on them for doing it.

Are racism, sexism, and stereotypes laughably stupid? Yes. But they're also serious issues that cause genuine harm, and they deserve to be discussed. Even if we do it your way and just laugh at people who are being unironically bigoted, we solve nothing because it makes those people angrier and more hateful.

Most Quebecers are francophones and even the Quebec anglophones are, for the most part, fluent.
The other provinces are another story.

No they're hibernating and protecting their crops
