As a warning, unless you're working on a project regarding race/sex/gender, then I wouldn't discuss it here. In other activist spaces, these discussions were used as a tool (by groups unknown to me) to label the space as racist or sexist. If you're using any physical characteristics to describe something negative about a person, then I'm going to take offense to it. If you have a problem with something, use the name of that person specifically for that particular instance. Otherwise, you're using labels with no purpose except to associate negative ideas about a race, sex, or gender.

I hope no one is forming opinions on the whole of sudo room based on
communications originating from specific people. If you look back on
the archives, I think there are many personalities that are vocal on
the sudo-discuss list - this does not translate into cultural
influence, nor should it be construed as representative of the values
anyone other than the person behind their own keyboard. I for one do
not consider anyone a representative of my race, culture, social
group, profession, or family and it is unfortunate that we have
repeated probings asking for the same from a sudoer on the basis of
race-based perspective. Anyways, I hope no one is confusing post
volume on the list discussion with representation of sudo room values
cheers,

Thank you Rhodey - I appreciate the assist.
So I guess that this is the famous "call-out culture" of Sudoroom in effect?
Sonja, I'll try to find some time to reply to this entire thread in a bit (gainfully employed - none of that government money for me, thank you).
I AM a black person, but I am most unfortunately not a statistician nor a sociologist, nor have I conducted any studies - formal or informal - on the correlation between property crime and race. If you're genuinely curious about the data and not just making some ... point, there's always Google. Or DuckDuckGo. Whatever.

Sonja,
If your question was not answered the first time please consider that
the people may not want to answer. No one should be pressured into
participating in a conversation, I for one am removing myself from whats
become of this. If anyone would still like to contact me about any of
the content I have put forth within this thread I ask that you please do
so in person or in an off-list email.

I still want to know whether David has any info/ insights on the
relative vulnerability to mugging of white v black men. Or if anyone on
here has any notion for vulnerability based on race.
For me, I notice that walking around with a white man generates more
threatening comments than if I was walking alone. That and also what
reports from white men about being mugged and held up leads me to
believe I would be more vulnerable to being mugged if I was a boy.
Are there any black girls on the list that have a similar set of
anecdotal datas? or black men walking alone v. walking w white men?
I can't tell if there is no personal data, or what. Rhodey gave some. It
confirmed the other data I had. Any more either way?

I don't mind discussing this topic as long as it's constructive and
keeps the finger pointing to a minimum.
Unfortunately there's plenty of shitty people out there...or as my
mom used to say, "asshole is a rainbow word." Honest and frank
discussion about assholes is not a bad thing...categorizing or
generalizing those assholes based on appearance or other factors is
iffy and something I try to avoid.
