Obvious Bicycle Thief Science: What If The Thief is Black?

Two actors are stealing a bike. One is black, one not. Interesting how the people in this middle class area are pretty racist.

Cause:
-Even though in both cases bystanders receive informational confirmation of criminal activity, the more statistical indicators of crime that are present, the more urgency the situation acquires.
-Add rap music, the presence of weapons, gang tattoos, and other statistical signals of criminality, and the rate of intervention increases.
-This is the same reason why a woman doing the same thing would elicit a lower intervention rate.

and there was a pretense concluding that I should not ?

*edit- there should be, we should make a sarcasm tag for the internets to know things are in jest.

@BoneRemake
Right. Because pretences conclude that people should do things all the time. What are you talking about.


Something along the lines of *<sS> to solicit "sarcasm" to the reader.
because I took your douchy paragraph as literal.

Hope that clears it up chap!

cheerio.

*edit, which I now know means that strike out lettering I have always wondered about.

It's a bit subtler than the clip depicts. Someone raised as a member of the majority in a racist culture projects a certain plausible deniability of malice than a minority is able to project. The minority's implicit air of guilt is further compounded by the inherent racism in the culture as it is escalated in the presence of other members of the majority.

I wonder, then, how many of those white people who called the police/park security on the black kid would have done so if the same incident was going down in a black neighborhood -- where the same sorts of assumed rules of "justice" and equality are not defined by rules laws, but by power and force.
