I am a black man who grew up poor in a majority black city (Detroit) believing from statistics that I would die or go to jail before I would see the age of 21. I am now 44 years of age with 2 citizenships, living in another country in an 8 bedroom house, speaking 2 languages with most of my closest friends coming from different countries and different backgrounds/cultures being doctors, lawyers and other professionals. I had to leave the US to get to that point because everywhere else I went around the world made me believe that I was something more than a criminal to be shot on sight. I’ve even been to Germany and was greeted more warmly than I’ve ever been greeted in my own country which shocked me. The brainwashing that goes on in the US with everyone black, white, Latino, Asian, Muslim is rampant and it’s driving the racial issues and the only reason I can see is because it helps these pitiful people who spread all the divisiveness to hold onto whatever power they have.
Agree. Negative comments about any group is corrosive and down right evil when everyone starts believing the lies in the negative comments.
absolutely. divide and conquer. if all americans worked together the nation would be unstoppable and the sky would be the limit. So much energy is wasted fighting inwards.
Not to mention the brain washing of poor white folks. They are the ones voting for Repugnants, convinced that helping a black Community would hurt them. They vote against thier own interests.
If you came to Canada in your travels, I hope you were treated with kindness.
Thanx for that.....i fantasize about going expat all the time, and i'm white.
This country is a mess. I do think it's gonna one day be a better, freer and more peaceful society but it's way out there in the future and i'll have been gone for along time.
God forbid we ever held a police officer to a higher standard than a random criminal with a gun.
You hit it on the dot!
Thank you!!
GOD FORBID...
To hold police to a higher standard requires accountability, something that has been missing for decades.
But too often, the police officer IS a random criminal with a gun.
Criminals who commit crimes are far more likely to be held accountable for their actions then police officers who commit crimes.
Aren't police officers who commit crimes criminals?
@@04beni04 I think you have to be convicted first and we all know how often that happens to police who commit crimes.
@@ericharbert3984 True.
@@04beni04 As Beau once pointed out, they write the report.
@@MikeBrown-ex9nh It's true. And I wasn't trying to be clever or contrary -- mostly, I was just thinking about how important word choice is. If the words we use reflect or influence how we think and act, then deciding whether to label someone "criminal" vs. "a person who committed a crime" is kind of telling.
There is ignorance, and then there is willful ignorance.
Both are bad, the former correctable, the latter despicable.
The latter calls themselves Republicans.
Republicans only have allies. When they’re done with them they claim they HAVE NO IDEA WHO THEY ARE. Suddenly they have memory loss. Don’t recall, didn’t happen or FAKE NEWS. Willfully ignorant is their game. So is republican word salads which is nauseating. 🤢
Leonaza7, Damn, I do love your comments! We've a great community in the 'Beau comment threads!' 👍🥰✌💯😘😷🎃
I wish I could like this comment more than once. Wilful ignorance is the hallmark of the corrupt.
Beau displays a lot of wilful ignorance in this video.
Had an honest conversation with a former cop, we both agreed on one thing: Poverty creates more crime than skin color. Period.
@Lo Wang He’s a coworker, we are both Armed Forces Vets, but no he doesn’t like donuts.
@Mary Terwiliger No, he and I don’t agree politically but both of us agreed that poverty is the real cause of most crime.
Poverty is the MAIN thing but not the only though
Skin color helps create poverty, because discrimination is provably still a thing.
Racism is a bigger problem than any other, imo.
There's so much gaslighting today it feels like a steampunk novel.
Where do you think the term come. here is a hint: the play's the thing.
Is that why there is so much steam coming out of everyone's ass, lol
Niiice
Steampunk, when goths discover the color brown.
I don’t know what steampunk is, but I actually watched the black and white movie that originated the term, “gaslighting” and it is a very good movie and explains the meaning of the term better than anything else. I don’t know where you could find it I watched it on AMC several years ago. The movie is named “Gaslight.”

I recently decided to use my middle name (a white sounding name) to apply for jobs. My inbox is overflowing with leads and offers. I have NEVER, EVER had even 1% of the response I’m getting. I don’t know whether to rejoice, or cry. Geraldo, do not talk to me about how blacks are treated in this country.
The evidence you give was demonstrated in a famous study, so its not like its not an established fact.
It would be better if Geraldo didn't talk to anyone about anything, ever. His brand of misinformation is something the world could do without.
Good luck with the job hunt!
@@BigHenFor Yes, but having the facts of an establised study affect ones life personally, is different than just reading it objectively. Especially since she has had a lifetime of discrimination, due to the name she past used on her applications etc.
@@BigHenFor that’s where I got the idea from. I hesitated for years to try it. I finally did and now I don’t even want these jobs because they wouldn’t have looked at my resumé had my name sounded black. That means they didn’t want me there! Well I don’t want to be there, either!
Geraldo is still irrelevant. He’s just trying to prolong his career.
When was he relevant?
His talk show was a joke.
geraldo was born to be bush-league, and he succeeded spectacularly...
@@rellikinvictus1057 Way back he was relevant, early to mid 80's. Not sure what happened, maybe he sold out, maybe his mask slipped, but there was a time who could have been someone a lot better than who he is now.
I didn't realize he still had one. Lol he's useless.
@@dustigenes
I didn't consider him worthwhile, even back then.
I loved it when he got punched in the face on his show, that was great.
Statistically in my city more drownings occur at the same time as ice cream sales spike.
I guess we need to ban ice cream. :(
I'm still laughing as I type. Good one! lols
(For anyone who didn't notice: swimming and ice cream are typically both hot weather events, so of course they both increase at the same time.)
Gotta wait half an hour after eating before you swim!
"There are three kinds of lies; Lies, Damn lies and Statistics!" - Mark Twain
As much as I love Mark Twain, I hate that quotation. Statistics are not lies - ever, unless the underlying data are fraudulent. However, people sometimes misrepresent statistics in order to lie.
@@Grim_Beard It's not just the underlying data that can be fraudulent but how the data is manipulated. There are many ways to manipulate data, and that is where the lies come from.
@@timothyball3144 That's what I said - people can misrepresent statistics in order to lie. The statistics themselves are never 'lies', though.
For example, the mean of a set of data is the mean of a set of data. It's a true fact. If, however, the data are heavily skewed such that the mean is not the appropriate measure of central tendency, then the person choosing to present the mean is using a (true) statistic in order to misrepresent the data (i.e. to lie).
When Geraldo digs for answers in the way that he does what does he find? Capone's vault, a sensationalized headline with empty contents.
I remember it well.
I remember that. I think it was the last time I ever watched him.
B It was the only time I watched him.
No, his mustache barely on his face, after he got smashed in the mouth with a chair by a white supremacist...
@@reggieoverton4437 sick burn.
This reminds me Jane Elliott's brown eyes/blue eyes experiment. If you create a statistic based around an arbitrary factor that you can't control like eye color or skin color you can fabricate almost any result you want.
alexander gaitan I thought of Jane's blue eyes/ brown eyes also.
I could not watch that tape through! Too much emotion about hurting the children's hearts! Damage their souls! Inappropriate reaseach done on the innocents!

@@fedupto68 Unethical emotional abuse on children!
@@wildheart5086 those white kids needed that emotional abuse.. They learned what racial discrimination is.
Starting with Reagan, instead of putting in policies to help at risk communities, they chose to overpolice those communities leading to over criminalization of at risk communities.
Reagan was the worst and most destructive President we've had in my lifetime. I think he was worse than 45, because he seemed like such a kind and reasonable man, not an obvious sociopath like the President-reject. His "leadership" on the AIDS epidemic was similar to Trump's, except he didn't say it would magically go away, he said Who cares? It's only killing gay guys and drug addicts.
@John Smith Or perhaps you find the most crime where you put the police.
That was a long established practice by the time Reagan came along...
Always important to remember that correlation is not causation.
Yeppers.
Thank you! I wish more people understood this.
And it's easy to cherry-pick statistics.
Context matters.
74% of all statistics are just made up on the spot.
- Todd Snider.
@@petezipardi4022 did he ever comment as to whether or not he made that up?
There's a comedian that do a similar take on statistics. The punchline is, I 100% made that up.
"So today.. [big sigh] we are going to talk about Geraldo."
When I was a student at University the most common used textbook was "How to lie with statistics." It was a Poly Sci textbook when I began in 1969.
Pity it’s author, Darrel Huff, was a shill for the tobacco lobby. Otherwise it’s a good primer for the statistical illiterate.
Another shill for the tobacco industry is no other than saintly Mike Pence who testified under oath before Congress that cigarettes (nicotine) was not addictive.
Mike Pence has been a stranger to truth and has insisted that evil is liberal because it is progressive. In his world view the underclass must be oppressed, exploited and abused. This is especially important to him as a Xtian because he believes that Jesus did not mean to preach what is recounted in the NT.
During my first statistics class in college the instructor showed us how statistics “lie”. In the 50 years since then I haven’t been able to hear the word “average” without wondering is the speaker is referring to the mean, median or mode. And when the news reports quote statistics I want to know the size and the composition of the polling field.
@@nancymanly2904 Journalists rarely learn statistics
Good stuff, Beau. I keep reposting your stuff for my MAGA/GQP friends and family. It's wrecking their heads lol.
KEEP PAYING THE KNOWLEDGE FORWARD👍👍👍
I tried that for awhile until I realized folks do not want to learn anything new. It is much easier for them to just believe what they already know. I guess it hurts their head to think.
Please show them my post about recently using my middle name (a “white” name) on my resume to apply for jobs. I have never received this many responses in my life and my resume hasn’t changed in 10 years!
Do I even WANT these jobs? They never responded when I used my black sounding name. What we go through is deeper than your MAGA friends and family will ever understand.
Something they consider as simple as applying for a job (not even getting it), is HELL for me. But yet they think they have the answers to our problems. “Why don’t you just do this/that? You’re not trying hard enough. You don’t want it bad enough. You’re lazy. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.”
We can’t even get a foot in the door. Or the police view us as animals and thugs. Managers follow us around in stores because they think we’re going to steal. Even the well dressed, polite sounding blacks. We’re judged before we even take our first step or open our mouths.
@@rogereverett4467 I think you are mostly right, Roger. What I have also noticed is if you continue spreading the truth, these same people who deny might have a change of heart. Not so much because they see the continues videos in attempt to try to reprogram them but more so if they have an outside experience that wakes them up from the MAGAcoma. Some ultimately look back, reflect on how much bs they were lead to believe. It comes down to war of persistence.
@@KiaTheDMVBison you’re not wrong, not remotely, and I’m sorry. It’s crass, and very much systemic.
My sociology teacher in college pointed out that towns with more churches generally have more murders.
He was teaching us the difference between causation and correlation.
That’s a great example.
Does correlation just mean that they occur together or is there an actual connection?
RB, I am no expert, but it seems there maybe a connection.
@@5000rgb correlation means there is some connection but does not mean that one caused the other.
In my teacher's example, many churches did not cause murders; the higher population of larger cities correlated with more churches and more murders.
@@oldauntzibby4395 I got you, there was a third unspoken factor that is causal to the to data points we were given.
Also absent from the example was if these numbers were total or per capita. hmmm... Sort of like how you will read a news article and no 2 data points are measured the same but they try to contrast them.
Man.... That take for the statistic is kind of mind blowing! I have felt that it was a misrepresentation but the way you put it...just wow! That is one of the major example about how our culture justifies racism...Even those like me with a desire to see equality for all have room to grow too!
Even if you don't delve into the misuse of statistics, these kinds of arguments are basically saying "Why deal with this problem when there are other problems out there?"
Yep, I think I’m going to start asking them “when your wife/mother asks/tells you to do the dishes, do you point out all the clothes in the laundry?”
(This example relies on sexist assumptions about gender roles that I don’t subscribe to but I’m thinking of the intended audience...)

Geraldo is the Jerry Springer of journalism. Difference is that Jerry acknowledges that his show is ''stupid'' & has said so himself.
tell the truth and shame the 😈 DEVIL'S
Some asked me "don't all lives matter" I said "of course they do but as all cancers are bad but we are going to talk about breast cancer in particular and what is the causes and solutions. So when we say 'Black Lives Matter' we are looking at the problems they face in particular what are the causes and solutions." Can anyone else describe it simpler or better? Please leave a reply.
It is a shortened form of "Black Lives Matter Too" or "Black Lives Matter As Much As Any Lives." Those who get defensive usually know this, but pretend people are saying "Only Black Lives Matter." They probably are not even used to thinking that Black lives matter at all.
MY SUGGESTION TO YOU:
Ask them to name a loved one that recently passed away and it hurt them to their core. Example: their Mom. Then say, “How would you feel if my response was, ‘ALL Moms Matter!’ You’d be angry, correct? It would be rude and insensitive, right? Yes, all Moms matter, but that was YOUR Mom.
“And if a person’s Mom was shot by the cops at the grocery store when they could’ve been tased? Their loved one would still be alive, right?
“Now imagine if you noticed a series of Moms were getting shot by police in grocery stores, but Dads in the exact same scenario were tased, physically taken into custody, or talked to, and lived through the ordeal? Wouldn’t you notice and question this pattern?
“What if people respond to your anger saying, ‘Moms are hormonal and get way too excited. If they would just calm down, the cops won’t shoot them!’
“But you know of more than 100 incidents where Moms weren’t even angry and emotional. And there were Dads that went crazy and tore up the store, yet the police talked them down and nicely took them into custody.
“And no matter the situation, people attribute the shooting of Moms as their own fault. Whether they were angry, quiet, shopping for groceries, going into the store, coming out of the store, yelling at the manager, talking nicely with the manager...it doesn’t matter. The police said the Moms didn’t comply in every one of those situations, and they deserved what they got. Dads are better citizens because they don’t seem to be shot by police.
“All of the children left without a Mom...you may start protesting in front of grocery stores. And people would be upset because you’re blocking them from grocery shopping. And they yell at you saying Moms simply are too emotional and that is all there is to it. They need to comply and calm down and they won’t get killed.
“And the police go home every night to their kids. But Moms are dying daily and don’t get to go home to their children. And people respond to you by saying they support police officers 100% and believe them every time if they say these Mothers were out of control so they had to shoot them.
“I know this is a silly analogy. But children need their Mom. And it’s wrong to chalk up hormones and emotions as a justification for shooting a child’s mother.
“And black people should be given the same treatment as whites. If they are committing a crime, arrest them and let the judge and jury decide their sentence. The police are not supposed to be judge and jury.
@@emanimal728 thank you.
@@KiaTheDMVBison Your Analogy is a very clever one I think. thank you for your time.

Fun Fact: The CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has risen in virtually the same degree as Caribbean piracy has lessened. So, obviously, the best way to combat climate change is to bring back Caribbean piracy.
When did it stop?
The pirates are the drug cartels.
@@shawnr771 So Caribbean pirates were also installed by the CIA to de-stabilize Central and South American governments?
@@pillmuncher67 Pretty much. How do you know the pirates did not start the drug cartels.
Smuggling drugs has been a crime for 100s of years.
Clearly there was more damage done to Geraldo when he got hit in the face with that chair.
Or perhaps not enough damage done, at the risk of sounding uncharitable.
Thanks Beau Your words can change the world. One mind at a time.
Good blessings to you. 👍🏾
Geraldo is saying when our loved ones are killed by another black person, we say, “Oh OK.”
Pretty much.
@Victor Swann actually, I'm not so sure... because that is exactly what happens. Take Chicago for example, what's going on in the black neighborhood started as blood feuds in Mississippi... if we looked at it, we could say we're policing our own.
@GOD Fuckyou In truth, some people do. Because that's usually what happens when people think the system failed them. In fact it's kind of where a lot of Republican ideals spring from. That, 'guess we gotta do everything ourselves' kind of outlook.
@@KiaTheDMVBison : I just reported them for their user name. I have no problem with such language among adults and even among teenagers in most cases, but little children watch youtube all of the time, so their user name is extremely inappropriate.
@@johnallenbailey1103 : And policing in black communities is needed because so many of the police are too cowardly to do their jobs. In my home city of Oakland California, there is a community called Sobrante Park. In is the furthest southeastern part of the city, where the border with San Leandro is basically a straight line following 108th avenue, until it reaches this area, and there Oakland sticks out into San Leandro in a rather odd and unexplainable way.
This neighborhood looks a lot like a prison complex. There is one *very* narrow entrance between two buildings, the road is actually close to half the size of any road within miles and you could barely squeeze two cars past each other going very slowly with inches to spare. There is no other way in or out and the area is quite large with hundreds of houses and a housing project at the furthest end where the windows even on the third story are all boarded up with plywood.
Other than the entrance, if you drive in there like I once did, the houses and yards typically look like much of East Oakland. Small homes mostly built in the 40's and 50's, with modest yards that have a mowed grass and humble landscaping. You can tell most of the homeowners care about their homes and communities, but as you drive in you begin to notice lots of small holes (about one half inch or a bit larger in size) in the stucco walls, and that most of them are in erratic, but horizontal only lines in grouping of say 4 - 12 or so.
There are children around the ages of 10 - 12 on the corners shaking their hands as if indicating they're holding something very small, but important they want you to notice. This was about 11am on a school day. There were no adults around, but with all of the kids out there on a school day I had to wonder where the teenagers are and why I saw no adults. That was before I started to notice the heads peering from rooftops.
Ohs, did I forget to mention that it is well known that the police never go into that neighborhood for any reason, but there is a squad car parked at the entrance 24/7? Or that surrounding the entire neighborhood of hundreds of houses, there is a 30 foot tall chain link fence surrounding literally the entire area? Maybe I forgot to mention there are only black people living there?
*If that doesn't remind people of an interment camp, I suggest reading about them.*
A friend of mine actually grew up there, but left when he was 15. He told me he had just 2 other options: join a gang, or be murdered for not joining a gang. He chose leaving his family behind. Something he obviously was very unhappy with, especially because he had a younger brother, *had* (I hope I don't need to say why I used the past tense).
Gangs exist where the police fail to do their jobs.
I grew up in Oakland, but until that day in my late 20's I had never even heard of Sobrante Park, but knew the rest of the city very well. Nor had anyone I knew (out of literally hundreds of friends) ever heard about it either. I have walked through the "sketchiest neighborhoods" of Oakland at 2am without much fear. I will never go back onto Sobrante Park again, even in broad daylight at 11am.
I'd also point out that crimes committed by private individuals and crimes committed by people entrusted with the power of the state are very different things.
I'm a black woman who listens to your commentary and gain a lot from your perspective. Thank you!
100 yrs later & we're still dealing w/ Eugenics bs mindset
Saw something the other day (meme) that basically said, if being black doesn't matter, go ahead and take it off the forms, see what happens.
How many people really understand that correlation is not causation?
Got to use big words and make it seem important right
This might be worth a video on its own
Very good question/observation. I feel that we as a people generally lack the skillset to distinguish the difference because we aren't taught critical thinking either at home or in our education system (unless or until you get to college level and then largely only if you choose those areas of study - it isn't a core subject). Folks who want to use correlation to further their own goals can and do take great advantage of that.

I've never seen someone explain racism and these stupid statistics in such a rational, commonsense and, most importantly, a provocative way. Thanks, Beau!
I know you have lots of viewers but I wish you had hundreds of millions. All of us faithful viewers need to share these videos as much as possible and grow this base.
i've been making the same argument for over two decades and im about done with this planet- the fact that as a child no one could answer me when i asked "why does skin color matter in any statistic?" other than maybe melanoma.
You are so great at putting my thoughts into words. I get too angry & tired sometimes to be so cogent, but you nailed it.
When you think of Geraldo, what picture comes to mind. For me, it's always the show right after the episode where the Nazi's broke his nose bcuz it looked like he covered it with masking tape. It cried out, "Broken 🐽 nose under here!"
It was a Klansmen throwing a chair... Funny shit.

You asked.
Your comment on statistics remined me of the Reddit post "Are you ready for a world where a $50 DNA test will tell you how long you are likely to live as well as how successful you will be?" The reply was "You can already do that with zip codes."
I just love when people talk about "black on black crime" because the person who brings this up essentially exposes their support for the racist narratives or is a racist altogether.
we should be talking about "black on black crime" as long as it's not being used as a deflection when racism against blacks occurs.
Working in an inner city hospital, we were required to keep statistics on anyone with no way to pay, crime location and origin of event that involved us, ie, bullet wound or rape or domestic violence, because we knew already hate and state leading dropout rates were present, and drugs ruled the streets.
I've heard this sentiment from people who, ironically, had no trouble at all citing statistics on "police violence against blacks" and taking the correlations shown therein as proof positive of systemic racism in law enforcement.
What @@TruthNerds? It's not true that the hiring practices of police in America is questionable, that training methods need to be reviewed, that there is inherent racism in policing? Being assumed innocent of the crime isn't the point. The point is fair treatment and that's not happening at all.

This is a point that is good to revisit. Beware spurious correlations, and graphs with no units or with unlabeled axes! (here fishy fishy)
Or graphs with chopped/shortened axes... the list goes on.

Wow. Spurious correlations. Illusory correlations. Correlation versus cause and effect. Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc.

Better lesson in statistics than an entire semester back in my uni days
Go panthers!
Same. I had stat for [experimental] psychology, and that class was a killer. I had to memorize formulas like the Standard Deviation because it was before calculators were widely available. (!😮). This is about co-varience, which is also a formula. We learned that it doesn't prove a causal relationship. Important fact.
As one black male?
Thank you, Beau.
Yet, it's sad to know, "education" doesn't always = "enlightenment."
FINALLY! Someone mentions economics as a causal relationship to crime. THANK YOU!

You have lived long enough and seen enough conditions/circumstances and the documented responses/results to them and FURTHER, understand the processed data with your critical thinking skills (or even if you spied with your little eye)...you always address issues fairly and courageously. I know that’s a very long sentence but doggone it, man, 🎯🎯🎯!!!
Look, Geraldo does what he does and he’s consistent about it 😒 Kudos to him for managing to stay relevant for so long. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🖕🏾.
Good Sunday to ya’ bruh. ☕️☕️
I love your truth telling and calling out the subtle racists!
Will you quit having these thoughts when it isn't convenient for ME?
Thank you Beau always, always appreciate your logic.
When I was a student, the lecturer's favourite example of a correlation was the 95% relationship between the sale of blankets in Canada and the subsequent birth rate in the UK.
"Figures often beguile me, particularly when I have the arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force:
*"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."*
- Mark Twain
Real Eyes Realize Real Lies!
While I agree with your assessment of statistics, how could we say systemic racism exists without using the very method you divorce yourself from?
Why is it the Native American forgotten in in care of this land they lived in..
And now, watch as we open Al Capone's vault. What could we find inside! The end of my career for a good ten years!
At the beginning of the BLM movement, I had a friend who went on about "black on black crime" and how the black community doesn't seem to care about that. I took him to task for his ignorance, suggesting he might want to watch TV and pay attention to the community leaders, pastors, etc who hold marches and are constantly speaking out about the crime in their neighborhoods.
Exactly, I had a coworker like that who liked bringing up Chicago (their favorite go to) in which I gave them a couple of names of organizations and asked if they ever heard of them, she said not, in which I told her until she knows about those organizations what she was saying is irrelevant and without merit
I’m always frustrated by the race questions on insurance forms, I add other: HUMAN
Good afternoon all!
👋🏼🌻 Afternoon Joe!
To quote my dear departed father: "There are three levels of lies -- lies, damned lies, and statistics."
I had to pause at 1:52 because that statement alone was powerful beyond measure.
Yes, I finished watching, but only after taking a minute to breathe and be ready for more truth bombs.
Thank you, Beau.
Not to mention the cases where they drag some poor unfortunate off the street, lay murder one on him sans evidence, and plead him down to manslaughter or something.
I'm not saying that I want someone to go do it. But if I heard Geraldo took another chair to the face I wouldn't be too broken up about it.
We need to stop selling ice cream when it gets hot so we can save people from drowning. This is a solid policy that needs to be enacted TODAY!! Summer is coming!! Think of the children!!
BIG SALUTE. Always a rational perspective.
Well howdy Beau!
👋🏼🌻😄
well howdy SiF! 👋🏼
Fifth! At the Fifth Column! 🥳💐👍🏾 and Hi!!!
@@d123mahesh2 hellooo 👋🏼 thank you 💐
You know. I recall Geraldo having a shitty talk show when I was a kid, and I remember thinking he was a real piece, even when I was so little.
Thank you for trying to echo the truth and saying what is wrong ....very rare and inspiring.
Great points again, Mr. Beau! I do wish you could debate against someone sometime and get others really thinking of how flawed their reasoning is. You actually take the time to look at facts and statistics from a realistic and unbiased viewpoint. You'll face backlash because of it, but only because you're shining the proper light on the situation. Keep up the excellent work, Sir!
In ?1974, in my high school psych class, my instructor went over this and made his Point by presenting the two facts that the viscosity of tar in (i think) TX is (i think) inversely proportional to the mean temperature in (i think) AK.
[i might have the states backwards...and i'm *_pretty sure_* it was "inversely" & not "directly" proportional...Sorry to be so imprescise, but i've got an additional, like, 20 years of school & 45 years of employment and a brainload of other *_totally_* useless facts...
*_AND_* i *_have_* slept since then]
- But the Point remains: just because it's true, doesn't mean the viscosity of tar in one place causes a heat wave in the other..
Oh my god!!! This is my favorite and most valuable video yet!!!! Let's start taking eye color data people. I love it!!! Of course it's SES status .... Thank you Beau, you nailed this
This attention to facts, and interpretation of them,may be why Geraldo is relegated to the fringes of journalism
well said, sir - hope you're feeling better
it's like saying coca cola is a gateway to alcoholism or ibuprofen is a gateway drug to opioids. skin tone does not determine worth or worthiness.
Very good, very clear, very instructive. Thank you
The other huge problem is when a police officer kills a black man, they are doing so in my name and in your name as a taxpayer. I am not down with that shit, must be stopped. If a black individual kills another black individual, that is terrible also but they are not doing so in the name of the general public / the tax base.
Respect my brother
👋🏾Add: Let the man have a good night’s rest, people!!! He works too long hours as it is.

Hello, my friend D123 Mahesh. How are you & your family ? How does your garden grow ?

One love bra!..❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Great points. You always get me thinking differently.... and for the better.
and for those into broadway musicals, y'all realize the entire plot of Les Miz is about two white guys: one poor guy who steals a loaf of bread being chased by a cop who presumably always has a full breakfast.
❤❤❤
Strangely enough, Geraldo would not have much of a career without OJ and being an apologist for the police shenanigans with the evidence in the case.
Thanks for addressing this issue, Beau.
Excellent point.
Could you explain to your listeners how the reason faculty functions. Inductive and deductive. I have only found one person in the last 40 years that had any idea what I was talking about.
I thought I remembered a video having this come up; could be mistaken. If you ask him on FB he’ll probably answer, or if it doesn’t exist, perhaps he’s taking requests! 🖖
(ONE person in forty years? I’m so sorry, my man! But, many opportunities to share the info at least, eh? Be well)
