I visit all of the major North American networks and BBC.

But...if you post links they have to be from a left wing source or they won't read them.
It's that whole liberal thing where they deny something happened by accusing the messenger of something...

You could have video evidence and a confession and they will still say it's fake right wing news.

The best part is even the left wing networks are starting to complain about Joe Biden and kamala the cackling clown.

I am in Estonia. Unfortunately, the same is here. Those who call themselves "liberals" are indeed not liberals. They ban all facts and arguments contrary to their views. Block, delete, etc. If you publish something somewhere else, they never read it and say that it is an unrespectable source. For example, concerning the covid and vaccines. In Estonia, most people even do not know that Pfizer paid a 2 billion dollars fee. They do not know it despite the information about it is on the US Justice Department website. Those newspapers that are writing about it, people do not read it and say that the source is unrespectable. In principle, they could say that the Earth is flat and all arguments to the contrary are unrespectable source.

Perhaps I misunderstand something, but it seems to me, that Abbot's paper is consistent with the so-called Affirmative Action. For example, he endorses educational help programs for disadvantaged groups. What he objects is the view that, for example, the universities should give grades based on the race of the student, etc. However, there have been some right-wing authors who have objected even against the help programs for the disadvantaged groups. As I remember, Rushton and also the authors of the book "The Bell Curve" seemed to be of the opinion that such help programs might be simply a wasted money.

Abbot complains about the view that if the medium grades of the disadvantaged group are low, then it shows that the university has discriminated against that group. His arguments are mathematically valid. This is an old controversy. I remember that in the classical textbook on decision theory, Lindley's "Making Decisions" from the 1970-s, it was explained already. The average grade will be low if the abilities of the group is low or if they are not really studying. The average grade will also be low if that group is discriminated against. However, detecting discrimination is a statistically complicated task. One systematical mathematical mistake made by some egalitarians is to reverse the implication: that the low average grade proves the existence of discrimination. It does not.

No, usually I am abandoning such forums where too silly discussions often take place. Or, usually, I am usually banned on different subreddits without any good reason whatsoever.

This is too smart for me.

A few of the left wingers are smart enough to argue/debate with you but I am not.

It's 50/50 here.

Half of the debate threads are for serious discussion and the other half will have humour and trolls, me being one of them, and usually the regular trolls stay out of the serious discussions.

I really do not know why the name "GAB".
gab.com
Donald Trump is tweeting ( "gabing" ) there. This platform declares to be independent of Silicon Valley information monopolies and values free speech. Unfortunately, some Americans are so stupid that they do not know what to do with their freedom of speech. Some pretty sick posts are appearing there sometimes... It also seems that the American right-wing is on the GAB. In principle, American socialists could use GAB as well, but they are not doing this.

The teachers are afraid of giving bad grades to blacks as they expect accusations of racism. Blacks know this and some of them use it to blackmail the teachers. People are lazy. Instead of studying in the university, they are blackmailing the teachers, using their skin colour and the dark past slavery and discrimination. As a result, these blacks get the diploma and degree, but they have wasted their time in the university. They have not used their opportunity to study. Thus, it is harmful to blacks, because they remain uneducated.

Any future serious employment/profession would quickly expose any deficiency so it is wrong to do that to them.
I'm surprised they don't demand these practices to stop. For their own benefit.
