Blacks, Skin-tone, And The Death Penalty By Chance, Chancellorfiles
Chance writes: New research by a group university professors revealed that blacks who have predominantly black features example dark skin, full lips, larger nose, etc are more likely to receive the death penalty than blacks with less predominantly black features. The professors did good detailed research before they came to their conclusion.
Blacks, Skin-tone, And The Death Penalty
By Chance, Chancellorfiles
Chance: Among blacks does skin tone sometimes play a role in which blacks will get the death penalty?
published in the May 2006 edition of Psychological Science Professors from Stanford, UCLA, Yale, and Cornell, led by Prof. Jennifer Eberhardt, examines whether a black defendant on trial for murder is likely to be sentenced to death if he has stereotypical black features. These stereotypical black features are darker skin, larger nose, and fuller lips.
The researchers from the various universities came to the conclusion based upon their research that a black defendant with stereotypical black appearance (darker skin, fuller lips, and large nose) is more likely to get the death penalty for killing a white person. Wherefore, black people with less stereotypical black features get the death penalty less when accused of killing a white person.
The researchers used more than 600 death eligible cases from Philadelphia in which the defendant was black, and charged with killing a white person. The researchers found that black defendants who looked stereotypically black received the death penalty 57.5% (out of 100% they received the death penalty 57.5%) for killing a white person, and black defendants who looked less stereotypically black received the death penalty only 24.4% (out of 100% they received the death penalty 24.4%) for killing a white person.
Students from Stanford University noticed and rated the degree of stereotypical features in photos of black male defendants from Philadelphia who received the death penalty — that most were blacks with darker skin, larger noses, and fuller lips. (more…)
Yes, this is another article in response to those who argue that reparations if given in cash form to blacks will be worthless because it will just be spent frivolously. 
This is what I have boiled it down to…as to why so many whites clash with so many blacks on issues like Reparations & Affirmative Action. It is a perception problem. Most of the blacks I know don’t look at these issues from an individual perspective but a social perspective. Whites in general tend to look at these issues from an individual perspective. Generally when a black says reparations should be paid, he isn’t gleefully rubbing his hands together saying, “Whitey is going to gimme a thousand dollars” but thinking of the overall wealth that will be transferred to community to overcome a piece of past injustice. However those who oppose reparations generally think, “Black guy is going to take $1000 dollars from me”, or what will individually happen to their pocket book.

I graduated yesterday day folks. One more degree to go!
It is amazing how some individuals look at the obvious and instead of accepting the reality of the obvious question the obvious because they don’t like the results of the obvious. For example, the Super Bowl is the number one rated television show virtually every year. However it is usually not the game itself that is the most talked about post telecast, but the inventive and witty commercials that cost over $1,000,000 per thirty seconds to show. That $1,000,000 is a lot of money but to the advertisers it is money well spent. It is well spent because the advertisers believe that exposure to their product will influence behavior to purchase their product. If you asked most people on the street as to whether exposure to a product leads to more people buying a product they would generally agree as well. It is fairly obvious. 
The only thing keeping me from the ticket booth is the near-certainty that this will be yet another dreary cinematic exercise in Black-White buddy copology in which the latter gets the best lines, most of the screen time and the classier women while the former brings up the rear by pimpin’-out every screen moment he gets, spewing the expletives to which only a “Ni**a” would stoop and laying the sluttier of the female species. Hollywood has always indulged in this sort of racial dynamic, setting up what appears to be an enlightened “pairing” of the races but one configured in a fashion that gives primacy to Whiteness. We see this in the Danny Glover/Mel Gibson partnership in the ‘Lethal Weapon’ franchise and again in the Morgan Freeman/Brad Pitt duo in ‘Seven’. Where they aren’t (relatively) evenly-matched as in ‘Vice’ the Black cop is invariably an older, wiser “authority” figure who ends up surrendering most of the film to the younger, sexier, brasher White cop and in this way Hollywood is able to project to the world its “vision” of racial comity: one in which Whiteness is always accorded pre-eminence. Now, mind you, this is the same J*wish-run Hollywood that has spent the last several days pounding its over-blown chest with indignation over the “
Personally, I believe the two greatest problems of the 21st century both grew to prominence in the latter half of the 19th century, racialism and nationalism. The issue of nationalism inspired the name of my blog, so everyone reading should know I am an internationalist, but I will discuss those sentiments another time. The topic at hand is racialism.
Chance: Every since the fall of communism in 1989, Russia has seen a major increase in racial hate crimes. The Russian political communist system was replaced with Democracy and Capitalism, and for the first time many Russians got the opportunity to see how the western world (Europe and the Americas) operated economically and politically.
