In reply to Callitwhatyoulike Emily Clark @princessladyz Mar 9 @callitwhatulike Lol. They roughly do. And the racial SAT differences are mirrored in in racial lQ differences, mental chronometry tests etc View conversation Emily Clark @princessladyz Mar 9 "White privilege" is a Marxist conspiracy theory. Income disparity -> result of group 19 differences. #TheTriggering At All Family Income Levels, There is a Persisting Racial Gap in SAT Scores Mean Mean Black Whte Racial Score Score Family Income Under $20,000 $20,000 to $40,000 $40,000 to $60,000 $60,000 to $80,000 $80,000 to $100,000 $100,000 to $120,000 $120,000 to $140,000 $140,000 to $160,000 $160,000 to $200,000 798 978 836995 8641017 8891032 9081052 922 1066 9261073 9421087 9431091 9811130 180 159 153 143 144 144 147 145 148 149 ore than $200,0009 Source: The College Board. The Racial Gap on the SAT Writing Test Now let's look at the racial gap on the new writing component of the SAT. The mean black score on the writing section in 2006 was 428. For whites, the mean score was 519. Therefore, the gap on the writing portion of the SAT is slightly smaller than on the verbal portion of the SAT and significantly smaller than the racial gap on the mathematics section of the SAT Many observers believed that the introduction of the writing component would, by design, lessen the racial scoring gap in order to deflect criticism of The College Board. It is probable that in some instances the people who score the new writing section will be able to detect the race of the writer by the vocabulary and subject matter of the student's essay. There is then a suspicion in some quarters that the scorers of the test may be inclined to "give a break" to black students. Therefore, it is suggested that the examination is graded on a curve that benefits blacks and Hispanics. A new study by The College Board based on family income trends estimates that there will still be a large racial gap in standardized test scores 22 years from now, the deadline for race-sensitive admissions as outlined by Justice O'Connor. Thus, the huge and growing gap in SAT scores, and particularly the scores at the highest levels, becomes one of the nation's most urgent problems. http://www.jbhe.com/features/53_SAT.html
genestarosaverus autistic-prydon... shamblingshitpickle why #thetriggering is f------ comedy gold 1) They literally confined it to a single hashtag that's easily blocked rather than going into other tags, which would at least be slightly inconvenient 2) they don't seem to understand what an actual trigger is. so instead of posting actual triggering content they're just post after post of "i have a penis" and "gay people are doodyheads" 3) They're trying so hard to be edgy and clever while recycling jokes from four years ago 4) they confined it to a single hashtag Imao come on Source: shamblingshit 3,634 notes

Overview

#TheTriggering is a hashtag-based activist campaign launched by Canadian conservative political commentator Lauren Southern to challenge the contemporary values of political correctness and the radical faction within the social justice movement by sharing provocative message that would be deemed as triggers for the aforementioned group in defense of free speech on March 9th and 10th, 2016.

Background

On September 18th, 2015, Southern posted a tweet calling for the creation of a day named "The Triggering," during which participants would post "offensive" statements on social media in defense of free speech (shown below, left).[1] Over the next six months, the tweet garnered upwards of 980 likes and 730 retweets. The following day, Southern announced that the hashtag campaign "#TheTriggering" would take place on March 9th, 2016 (shown below, right).[2]

Notable Developments

On March 7th, 2016, the Internet culture blog Age of Shitlords[3] published an article about the upcoming social media campaign. The following day, a post promoting the hashtag was submitted to the International Skeptics Forum,[8] which called for readers to stand up for free speech "like Socrates would." On March 9th, Twitter users began posting the hashtag "#TheTriggering"[5] along with various statements criticizing political correctness (shown below).

That morning, Twitter user @MartinDaubney posted a screenshot of Twitter search, accusing the platform of "suppressing" the hashtag (shown below). Meanwhile, Redditor pl0x submitted a post about the campaign to the /r/KotakuInAction[7] subreddit.

During much of the day, the #TheTriggering remained a worldwide trending topic on Twitter. Meanwhile, YouTuber Fem Fighter uploaded a satirical response video titled "#TheTriggering is Triggering," in which she feigns outrage over the hashtag campaign (shown below). In the coming days, several news site published articles about the hashtag campaign, including Infowars,[6] The Mary Sue[4] and WeHuntedTheMammoth.[9]
